Consumer Description

MY CAR WAS MISSING AND HESITATING, I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE LEAKING OF THE HEAD GASKETS, COST WAS TO BE AROUND 3500.00. AFTER DEALERSHIP REMOVED HEAD GASKETS (THIS WAS 8 HOURS OF LABOR AND 1200.00 SO FAR FOR LABOR) THEY FOUND A HOLE IN THE ENGINE DUE TO CORROSIVE DEFECT. THE COST OF A NEW ENGINE (A NORTHSTAR) WOULD BE 8000.00 PLUS LABOR. THIS NORHTSTAR ENGINE SHOULD HAVE LASTED LONGER THAN 82,000. THEY ARE ADVERTISED TO GO 100,000 MILES WITHOUT TUNEUPS. I KNEW THAT WAS FAR FETCHED...I HAD MY CAR MAINTENANCED PROPLERLY FOR ALL OF THE MILE CHECKUPS REPORTED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH OLDSMOBLILE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND RECEIVED A NUMBER C00118601. I AM VERY UPSET WITH THIS AND JUST WANT IT REPORTED PROPERLY.*AK
