Problems with 2000 Buick Lesabre's intake manifold gasket. The consumer was told that he needed a new intake manifold. GM would not do anything about it because the warranty had expired. There were other consumers with the same problem. The dealer suggested that the problem was due to poor design. There was also an oil leak possibly from the oil pan.
When the consumer started the vehicle it smoked from under the hood. Consumer turned the vehicle off, opened the hood, and noticed that intake manifold cracked and leaked fluid onto fuel injection, which caused the engine to catch on fire.
Multiple defects with transmission, cruise control, fuel system, engine cooling, etc. Vehicle leaked coolant so the upper and lower intake manifold were replaced. In addition, the vehicle would lose power over 40-50 mph.
