Consumer Description

WAS TOLD INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET FAILED. OVER A THOUSAND DOLLAR FIX WITH RELIGIOUS OIL CHANGES AND COOLANT FLUSHES, SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. I HAVE TALKED WITH MANY MONTANA OWNERS OF DIFFERENT YEARS AND ALL HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS CANNOT BE A SURPRISE! THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG HERE... EVEN TWO DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS SAID THIS IS A "COMMON" ISSUE OF THE PONTIAC MONTANA. I WAS TOLD THEY WERE SURPRISED IT DIDN'T HAPPEN SOONER AND THERE WERE SIGNS IT WAS IN THE MAKING FOR AWHILE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS! ITS NOT A CHEAP FIX! *TR
