ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
MY 1998 BUICK LESABRE HAD A RUPTURED MANIFOLD IN JUNE 2003, CAUSING ENGINE TO CEASE AND SMOKE AND MINOR FIRE. THE SMOKE MADE MYSELF AND MY INFANT SON VERY ILL. THIS WAS REPORTED TO BUICK BUT THEY REFUSED TO REIMBURSE FOR REPAIR SINCE VEHICLE WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE FOLLOWING RECALL WAS NOT IN EFFECT: NHTSA RECALL NO. 03V473/GM RECALL NO. 03054 AND THAT MY VEHICLE HAD NO RECALL. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE ENGINE CEASED TO START AGAIN AND IT WAS DETERMINED AT THE BUICK DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS A FAULTY FUEL PRESSUE REGULATOR WHICH WAS REPLACED. BUICK AGAIN REFUSED REIMBURSEMENT ALTHOUGH I BROUGHT THEIR ATTENTION TO THE CURRENT RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I CALLED AGAIN TODAY AS THE RECALL FOR 98 BUICK LESABRES WITH V6 ENGINES WAS AGAIN POSTED BUT BUICK TOLD ME THAT THEIR SYSTEM HAS NO SUCH RECALL AND THEY REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME FOR OVER $1000 OF REPAIRS FOR THE FAULTY FUEL PRESSUE REGULATOR AND MANIFOLD. NHTSA RECALL NO. 04V090/GM RECALL NO. 03054B.*AK *LA
