Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING 70 ON HWY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SO I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. MECHANIC'S DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE TUMBLE FLAP WAS BROKEN IN THE AIR INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE ONLY FIX IS REPLACING THE ENTIRE MANIFOLD FOR $2000 PLUS LABOR, TAX AND GASKETS. THE FLAPS ARE SMALL AND COULD BE AN INEXPENSIVE FIX BUT ALL DEALERSHIPS THAT I CALLED CONFIRMED THAT THE ONLY FIX AVAILABLE IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE AIR INTAKE MANIFOLD. RESEARCH TELLS ME THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS AND MANY OTHER MODELS WITHIN THE SAME YEARS. *TR
