Consumer Description

I HAVE A MANIFOLD GASKET FAILURE THAT MAKES IT NECESSARY TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES. AT THIS POINT WE WERE TOLD NO HELP FROM GM. FROM LOOKING AT COMPLAINTS I SEE THIS IS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM. GM SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. *LA
