Consumer Description

I OWN A 2002 RENDEZVOUS THAT HAS INTAKE MANIFOLD / HEAD GASKET ISSUE. I HAVE CONDENSATION UNDER THE OIL CAP AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS PART OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AS THE RESULT OF DEXCOOL ANTIFREEZE DETERIORATING THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND THUS DAMAGING THE HEAD GASKET. IT IS NOW WAY PAST THE CLASS ACTION FILING DEADLINE AND AM LEFT TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS MYSELF. GM SERVICE DEPARTMENTS HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 3.4L ENGINES YET IS NOT OWNING UP TO THEIR RESPONSIBILITY BY REMEDYING THE DEFECT. BUILD A FAULTY PRODUCT AND GET OFF SCOTT FREE. THE ONLY TIME IT SEEMS THE AUTO COMPANIES TAKE RESPONSIBILITY IS WHEN SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIES. SAD TO SAY THE LEAST. *TR
