This is a BAD design issue. Any engineer worth anything knows that the temperatures coming out of the exhaust part of the turbo are EXTREMELY HIGH. You don't just put a flexitube there. It's NOT the house clothes dryer!!!

Because the part was substandard (design wise) it couldn't take the heat and cracked at only 68K. I am upset as even if this was to take place it should be at 200 K not 68K. And it cost over 700 to boot to fix! for a lousy pipe! I drive like a grandma and baby this car.

The car and engine in one form or another including in Europe was built for over 10 years and this was the last of the series. It SHOULD have been BUG FREE. LIke a Toyota.

Flexipipe? NO. Put a Cast Alloy metal pipe long enough until it gets to the exhaust. This was the FIRST turbo I thought I could trust and of COURSE it let me down.

4th GM car we've had where something that SHOULDN'T happen until 200 K happens early. Expensive, not covered and because of this I will not be purchasing a Buick Envista. (as it is turbo too). How can I trust a new engine and turbo if they couldn't get the 'old one' they made forever to work. At least Kia and Hyundai stand by their vehicles with a LONG warranty and this type of thing would have been covered by them.

They should have recalled it, fixed it etc. Then I would have NO PROBLEM buying again. Owned GM cars for over 40 years. I'm done. Tell Mary B to get quality back into the product at both the design, part sourcing, building and after care levels. VERY disappointed.
