Consumer Description

IN DEC.2008, I HAD MY OIL CHANGED AND I NOTICED SEVERAL WEEK LATER THAT OIL WAS LEAKING ON MY GARAGE FLOOR. I THEN TOOK MY CAR TO HAVE IT CHECKED FOR THE OIL LEAK. MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE "INTAKE MANIFOLD" WHICH HAD A BAD DESIGN AND IT WAS ALSO CAUSING COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE OIL. I IMMEDIATELY CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE, AND THERE WERE. HOWEVER, WHEN I CALLED THE "BUICK" HOME OFFICE I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. THE INFORMATION WHICH I COLLECTED STATED THAT LETTERS WERE MAILED OUT FOR 1997-2000 MODELS ON APRIL 28,2008. IT ALSO STATED THAT GM WILL ADVISE WHEN LETTERS FOR THE 2001-2003 MODELS WILL BE MAILED. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE AND I AM AFRAID THAT THIS PROBLEM MAY CAUSE MY CAR TO CATCH FIRE. *TR
