Defect in intake manifold, in my 1998 oldsmobile silhouette van, which caused my car to overheat and fail. This was my only transportation to work and I was left getting rides from neighbors. I took the van to the dealer and was told that it is going to take $1000.00 to $2000.00 dollars to fix. I am a mother of six and do not have that kind of money to shell out. The van broke down on my way to work, and I am still making payments on a van that I cannot drive.
