FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:CARBURETOR SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY
DEALERSHIP ADVISED INTAKE MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED AND STARTER WAS BAD. I HAD JUST PARKED THIS VEHICLE TWO HOURS PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING TO START IT AGAIN AND IT WOULD NOT CRANK. I QUESTION WHY THEY ARE ALLOWED TO USE A PLASTIC INTAKE MANIFOLD AS THIS IS AN AREA THAT GETS VERY HOT AT TIMES. I USED TO BE A MECHANIC FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND THINK THAT BUICK MADE AN ERROR BY PRODUCING ENGINES WITH PLASTIC MANIFOLDS. I HAVE PURCHASED NEW BUICKS ON AND OFF FOR THE PAST 35 YEARS AND THIS IS THE FIRST PROBLEM I HAVE EVER HAD WITH AN ENGINE. REFERENCED IN EA02-030

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
I HAD TAKEN MY USED CAR TO TODDS TOWING AT 3867 HIGHWAY 87 REIDSVILLE NC 27320 ON THE FOLLOWING DATES 11-20-2000, AGAIN THREE DAYS LATER 11-23-00 AND AGAIN ON 13-4-00. EACH TIME HE CLAIMED TO REPAIR THIS VEHICLE. I PAID 280.00, 218.00 AND $177.00. ALMOST $700.00 WITHIN A MONTHS TIME. FIVE DAYS AFTER THE LAST TIME. 12-4-00 I BROKE AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED TO A DIFFERENT GARAGE, WHERE I WAS PROPTLEY INFORMED THAT THE MOTOR WAS SIEZING UP. I TRIED TO TALK TO TODDS TOWING ABOUT THIS AND WAS TOLD TO LEAVE THE PREMISES. I DON'T FEEL THIS MAN "TODD" IS A LICENSED MACHANIC. AND IF INFACT HE IS THEN HE NEEDS TO BE EVALUATED. I BELIEVE HE SWINDLED ME OUT OF ALMOST $700.00 AND WOULD HAVE CONTINUED IF I HADN'T GONE ELSE WERE. I AM DEBATING IF I SHOULD/COULD TAKE HIM TO CIVIL COURT ANY ADVICE WOULD BE APPRICIATE THANK YOU , TAMARA SEGUIN. *AK
