Consumer Description

1. TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE FOR AN INTERMITTENT "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT. SERVICE REQUIRED WAS A PURGE SOLENOID FOR THE CHARCOAL CANNISTER. 2. AFTER RETURNING THE CAR HOME AND IT SITTING FOR A COUPLE DAYS, I WENT TO START THE CAR AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. JUMPED THE BATTERY WITH ANOTHER CAR AND WHEN I WENT TO TURN THE KEY IN THE MONTE CARLO, THE INTAKE MANIFOLD EXPLODED IN ABOUT 20 DIFFERENT PIECES IN A DEAFENING EXPLOSION. 3. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO REPAIR YET, BUT THE DAMAGE IS CATASTROPHIC. I'M LOOKING AT $$$$$ REPAIR. I HAVE PICTURES OF IT IF NEEDED. IF I HAD BEEN STANDING OVER THE ENGINE AND MY WIFE HAD TURNED THE KEY I WOULD BE LOOKING AT A HOSPITAL STAY. *TR
