Consumer Description

DURING ROUTINE SERVICE THE MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT THE MID ENGINE GASKET WAS LEAKING. THIS IS A 2001 DEVILLE WITH THE NORTHSTAR ENGINE AND ONLY 48,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND KNOW THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THAT ENGINE. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE. IN ORDER TO CORRECT THIS , I MUST PAY THE DEALER $2,000.00 AS THEY HAVE TO TEAR THE WHOLE FRONT END OF THE CAR APART TO GET TO THE PROBLEM AREA. THIS IS AN ISSUE WHICH SHOULD ENCOURAGE A RECALL. *NM
