Consumer Description

INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET FAILURE ON MY 1998 OLDS CUTLASS RESULTED IN TOTAL DAMAGE TO MY ENGINE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM I HAVE FOUND IT TO BE A VERY WIDESPREAD COMPLAINT, THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CORRECTED AT GM'S EXPENSE. THIS CONDITION WAS DISCOVERED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER EXTENDED SERVICE CONTRACT BY MASTER GUARD. WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS REPORTED THE DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD BY MASTER GUARD THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED, ALTHOUGH MY PLATINUM COVERAGE SPECIFICALLY SAID IT WAS.
