Consumer Description

FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ON 2/01/06 - COST OF REPAIR $800. WHEN SERVICE WAS COMPLETED, GM MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET IS LEAKING AND CAUSING COOLANT TO MIX WITH OIL IN THE ENGINE. THE ESTIMATED COST TO REPAIR IS AN ADDITIONAL $1,000! WE HAVE NOT YET HAD THE PART REPAIRED DUE TO THE COST AND THE CAR HAS HAD LIMITED USE SINCE. GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS ALREADY AND STOP HAVING THE CONSUMERS PAY FOR THEIR LACK OF USE OF RELIABLE PARTS!! THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MAJOR PROBLEM GIVEN THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS LISTED. *NM
