Consumer Description

I OWN A 1996 PONTIAC GRAND AM, I NOTICED SB #020601014 REGARDING THE MANIFOLD INTAKE GASKET - I HAD TO REPLACE TWO ON MY GRAND AM. I WAS TOLD IT IS TYPICAL EVERY 50,000 MILES, YET I PREVIOUSLY OWNED A GRAND AM AND KNOW PLENTY OF PEOPLE WHO DO AND HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. WHAT MAKES MATTERS WORSE IS THAT IT IS A $900.00 JOB, AND I HAD TO DO IT TWICE! I AM LISTING THE MOST RECENT DATE - THE SECOND OCCURRENCE. *JB
