problem #1

Nov 012010

Malibu LS 2.4L 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 20,000 miles

At first, the dealer (Quirk in NH) didn't believe we were puting the gas cap on right. This happened for the first 2 visits. 3rd visit they did a pressure test an found nothing. 4th visit the got permission from GM to change the tank. Never had the problem again. side note #1. I know something about pressure testing. A minor vaccuum leak can be missed " IF" you don't know what to look for or give the test enough time. side note # 2. I came in with 2 issues and they chose to ignore the second issue, evan when I repeated it on the 2nd visit. After that I went to a better dealer down the road. More personable. I wish Pontiac would come back.
