Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2002 BUICK CENTURY AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET HAS TO BE REPLACED SINCE GM DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL OF WHICH THEY SHOULD HAVE. I AM AFRAID I WILL BREAK DOWN IN THE CAR WITH NO HELP. I AM A WIDOW WHO IS CURRENTLY UNEMPLOYED AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX THE CAR. I HAVE PAID THE CAR IN FULL AND JUST WANT THEM TO FIX WHAT THEY SCREWED UP. I WAS NOT EVEN AWARE THERE WAS A PROBLEM UNTIL MY LOW COOLANT LIGHT STARTED COMING ON AND I NOTICED THERE IS A LEAK. *TR
