About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Vehicle lost power then engine quit. Dealer mechanic indicated intake manifold gasket failure to let cooling fluid into crankcase oil. Gasket replaced, engine flushed 5 times ($480) suggested engine overhaul. Two weeks, engine failed with knock due to previous problem. Received letter from dealership warning of possible intake gasket failure resulting in engine replacement. No satisfaction from GM, found 5 identical complaints on NHTSA web site, attorney contacted, we will both investigate. My situation is, "no car, still paying payment." Observation: Gross diregard for obvious engineering flaw, smaks of Firestone without the deaths.

Please let me know if I am able to get Pontiac to pay for this repair. I have had countless things happen to this car. During and now right out of warranty at 62000 miles. They are wanting to charge me $850 to replace the intake manafold gadgets. This is an emmission problem and I feel as if I purchased a lemon because of all the problems I have had on this car. Please help me.
