ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

10 complaints

THE PLASTIC INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET ON MY 1994 CHEVY CORSICA IS LEAKING. I HAD THE CAR TO THE SHOP LAST WEEK AND HAD THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON THE GM 3.1L ENGINES. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH I CAUGHT MINE BEFORE SERIOUS PROBLEMS OCCURED, IT IS STILL A VERY COSTLY REPAIR. THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO WEREN'T AS FORTUNATE AS ME, AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THEIR ENGINES. EVEN THE OWNER OF THE LOCAL SMALL TOWN REPAIR SHOP HERE SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO SPEND UPWARDS OF $500 TO GET THIS FIXED, THAT MAY NOT BE MUCH FOR A GOVERNMENT AGENCY SUCH AS YOURSELVES, BUT IT IS FOR MY FAMILY. MY HOPE IS THAT YOU TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION FROM WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN TO YOU, AND THE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, AND MAKE GM DO A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. IT IS A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM, AND A VERY COMMON ONE TO SAY THE LEAST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. ERIC GENGLER. *AK

Aug 20, 1999

I'VE BEEN IN A CONSTANT UPHILL BATTLE WITH THE DEALER THAT SOLD ME THIS VEHICLE. THE LAST TWO GASKET FAILURES HAVE COST ME EVEN THOUGH THE TWO PREVIOUS FAILURES WERE COVERED UNDER THE 60,000 WARRANTY I PURCHASED INITIALLY. I FEEL THAT SINCE THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER CORRECTED, I SHOULD NOT BE LIABLE TO PAY BUT THE PROBLEM WORKED ON AT THE MANUFACTURERS OR DEALERS COST. I PAID FOR A RECURRING PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW TO AVOID THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS, AND STILL MADE MY CAR PAYMENTS TO THE BANK. I REALLY WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR ASSISTANCE. I WOULDN'T TRADE THIS CAR IN BECAUSE IT WOULD FAIL AGAIN. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED AND I NEED TO BE COMPENSATED FOR A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE THAT CAME STRAIGHT OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE. THANK YOU. *AK
