Consumer Description

NOTICE COOLANT IS LEAKING AROUND THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AREA ON 3.1L V6 ENGINE OF MY 1999 BUICK CENTURY. LOCAL MECHANIC SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE. DEALER IS ASKING APPROXIMATELY $900.00 TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ENGINE IF THIS IS A FREQUENT PROBLEM. A GOOD ENGINE SHOULD NOT FAILED LIKE THIS IN MY OPINION. THIS IS NOT A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR OF THE ENGINE, BUT POOR ENGINEERING OF THE ENGINE. DEALER SHOULD PAY FOR THIS PROBLEM. *JB
