Consumer Description

PONTIAC - GMC NOTICE G98066 STATES A POSSIBLE FAILURE OF THE LINEAR EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (LEGR) VALVE. IT CLEARLY STATES THE FAILURE EXCEPT FOR THE LOSS OF BRAKES. WHEN THE VALVE STICKS OPEN VACUUM IS LOST WHICH CAUSES SUDDEN LOSS OF THE POWER BRAKES. THIS HAS OCCURED 3 TIMES. THEY WILL ONLY REPAIR OR REPLACE THE VALUE WHICH IS THE RESULT BUT NOT THE CAUSE. I WOULD LIKE TWO THINGS: 1) A NEW NOTICE TO ALL OWNERS ABOUT THE BREAK LOSS AND 2) A CORRECTION OF THE PROBLEM ( WHICH I.'M TOLD REQUIRES THE INTAKE MANAFOLD TO BE REMOVED & CLEANED. *AK
