Consumer Description

I HAVE BEEN SMELLING OIL BURNING SMELL WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR FOR A WHILE. TODAY I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME IT'S "UPPER INTAKE MANIFOLD/COOLANT LEAK. HE FOUND RECALLS ON PREVIOUS YEARS. HE ADVISED ME TO TALK TO GM. GM DIDN'T FIND ANY RECALL ON MY VIN AND TOLD ME I CAN'T BE COVERED. HOWEVER I FOUND MANY COMPLAINS BY OWNERS OF OTHER MODELS AND YEARS. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT 2002 MODELS WERE NOT REPORTED TO BE COVERED BY A RECALL. GM CONNECTED ME TO A BUICK DEALER IN MY AREA. THE PERSON WHO I SPOKE WITH WAS VERY RUDE AND UNCOOPERATIVE. *TR
