Loud ticking and oil light illuminated when car started. Checked oil and the oil was reading full. Took car to dealership and they say car needs a new engine. $7000 to replace the engine. There is 90,000 kms on car and it has always been serviced and synthetic oil and premium gas used. Dec/06 heard ticking took car to dealership, they could not diagnose problem did a hot oil change and tick stopped or was masked. Now we have a severe problem, new engine required and the car is worth nothing. It also appears to be a gasket problem. Was there a recall, this seems to be a recurring problem?
"sorry if I'm not using this complaint system correctly" lower intake manifold gaskets need replacement on 2003 pontiac grand prix with only 33.4k miles on it. Bought car new. $1100+ to have fixed. Seems to be a big problem all over america and with canadian lawsuit. Dealership did not offer to fix.
I purchased a 2003 pontiac grand prix on 9/19/03 with 12429 miles on the 3100 sfi 6 cyl engine, and now at 65,550 miles, the manifold gasket is leaking and filling the radiator with oil. The warranty is good up to 75,000, and I plan to get the repairs made by the dealer under my contract. However, this should not have happened to such a new automobile, and I understand others have experienced the same problem with this engine at 35,000 miles.
