Consumer Description

I HAD NO HEAT IN MY VAN AND TOOK IT IN TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THE AUTOMOTIVE PLACE THAT I TOOK IT INFORMED ME THE GASKET WAS LEAKING FLUID AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY OR IT COULD SEIZE THE MOTOR. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THESE VEHICLES WERE KNOW FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE COST WAS TO REPAIR IT WAS IN EXCESS OF $850. A SUM WHICH I COULD NOT AFFORD BUT HAD TO PUT ON CREDIT AS I NEED THE VEHICLE TO GO BACK AND FORTH TO WORK. IF THIS MAKE AND MODEL ARE FAMOUS FOR THIS PROBLEM WHY HAVE THEY NOT BEEN RECALLED. IT WOULD SURE BE A GESTURE OF GOOD WILL ON PONTIAC IF THEY DID. *NM
