ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
GM 3.4 LITER ENGINE INTAKE GASKET FAILURE. THIS IS MY SECOND VEHICLE WITH THIS MOTOR THAT HAS HAD THE INTAKE GASKET FAIL. *JB
1999
VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
I CALLED PONTIAC TO TRY TO GET SOME HELP REGARDING THE FACT THAT MY CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND WITHIN THE LAST 2 MONTHS BOTH SIDE MIRRORS HAVE FALLEN OFF (ONE SIMPLY BY BEING BRUSHED AGAINST), MY REARVIEW MIRROR CAME OFF, BOTH SIDE WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE BROKEN, AND THE CLEAR COAT IS CHIPPING AND LEAVING MY PAINT EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS. PONTIAC PRETTY MUCH TOLD ME "SORRY, NOT OUR PROBLEM" BECAUSE I BOUGHT THE CAR USED (I AM THE SECOND OWNER), BECAUSE I DID NOT BUY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND BECAUSE IT HAS OVER 70,000 MILES. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THESE ARE ALL COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO FORWARD YOU MY RESEARCH. REGARDLESS OF WHAT NUMBER OWNER I AM OR HOW MANY MILES ARE ON THE VEHICLE, I FEEL THAT IF PONTIAC CANNOT MAKE A VEHICLE THAT CAN LAST 5 YEARS WITHOUT FALLING APART, THEN THE GENERAL PUBLIC SHOULD NOT BE THROWING AWAY OUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON A BAD PRODUCT. PONTIAC SHOULD REALLY BE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR MAKING A LESS-THAN-DESIRABLE PRODUCT. *PH
