I was told that the intake manifold failed as well as the lower intake(plenum). (3.8L V6) the work was performed by a Firestone retail store in myrtle beach, SC. Has anyone else had this problem and what were the repair costs? I sure am curious. As far as paint, I had the car painted for $1000.

Below is the same thing that has been happening to me for the past two years. Dealer and mechanic cannot seem to find the problem. This could cause a serious accident while highway driving. Make: Buick model: Riviera year: 1995 complaint number: 725331 summary: While driving 25-50 mph, without warning, the engine shuts down, causing power steering loss, and the interior locks open and close rappidly. Only after coasting off the highway coming to a stop, putting the car in "park" turning off the ignition, and waiting a couple of minutes will the car restart. Dealer could not duplicate! need a resolution, because the family refuses to enter the car.

I have your NHTSA report number #00V057000 and Buick's recall number #00023. The file number they gave for me at Buick was #C01749088. Buick representatives refuse to fix the problem untill they do the official recall. The remedy they gave was for me to pay for the repair and then file for a reimbursment. Which I do not want to do.no safety defect mentioned in summary.
