#767301 | September 20, 2002

DEALER REPORTS THAT THIS GASKET FAILURE IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NORTHSTAR ENGINES AND THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE MUST BE DISSASSEMBLED TO REPLACE THE GASKETS. THE FAILURE ALLOWS EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL TO LEAK OUT OF THE ENGINE LEADING TO EVENTUAL FAILURE. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE POOR OR FAULTY ENGINEERING OF THE ENGINE. *AK

NOT A SAFETY DEFECT BUT THIS CAR IS LEAKING OIL AROUND THE OIL PAN AND FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND FROM THE DEALER THAT THEY HAVE REDESIGNED THE RUBBER GASKET TO WITHSTAND HOTTER TEMPATURES AND I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF RECALL ON THIS. THE DEALER IS WANTING $1800.00 TO REPAIR THIS AND MY CAR HAS ONLY 58,000 MILES ON IT.*AK
