NHTSA Complaint #10224792 — 1999 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX

I HAVE A 99 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GTP THAT HAS LEAKS IN BOTH VALVE COVER GASKETS AND THE LOWER AND UPPER INTAKE GASKETS. I UNDERSTAND THAT THEIR HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE VALVE COVERS BECAUSE THEY WERE CAUSING FIRES FROM OIL LEAKING ON THE MANIFOLD FROM HARD BREAKING. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A SAFETY NOTICE ISSUED FOR THE UPPER INTAKE LEAKING AROUND THE TURBO CHARGER. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MANY MECHANICS WHOM SAY THAT I SHOULD WAIT UNTIL THE COMPLETE RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. THIS CAR HAS HAD MAINTENANCE WORK PERFORMED BY MY HUSBAND WHO HAS BEEN A MECHANIC FOR 45 YEARS. HE NO LONGER WORKS ON VEHICLES BUT STILL HAS THE KNOWLEDGE OF A MECHANIC. I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS RECALL TO BE ISSUED SO MY CAR CAN BE DRIVEN. I'M HAVING TO DEPEND ON ONE VEHICLE WHICH PUTS A STRAIN ON MY EVERYDAY LIFE. *TR
