Consumer Description

THE DAY BEFORE I TOOK THE VAN IN FOR REPAIRS IT STOPPED ON ME AND I COASTED HOME WITH HARDLY NO BRAKES AND BAD STEERING.THE REPAIRS THAT I WAS ABOUT TO HAVE DONE WAS FOR A LEAKING INTAKE GASKET.I DID NOT KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED UNTIL I READ ABOUT THE SAME THING HAPPENING WITH OTHER PEOPLE.SOME PEOPLE CALL IT VAPOR LOCK. IF THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN PEOPLE OR OTHER CARS IN MY WAY THIS COULD HAVE TURNED VERY BAD. ALL THE GM DEALERS SAY THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. WHEN I CALL GM THEY SAY THEY NEVER HEARD ABOUT IT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU , SCOTT EGGEBRECHT
