2 Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe problem of the 1998 Oldsmobile Regency

Failure Date: 08/05/2004

Intake manifold, made of plastic, ruptured dumping coolant into cylinders. Resulted in instantaneous stoppage of engine and loss of power steering. Could easily have led to wreck. Mechanic at first gm dealer contacted diagnosed problem sight unseen as it is a known common problem. Gm strongly suggested having work done at a dealership so they could make "adjustments" to the repair bill. After having the vehicle towed to a dealer, no "adjustments" were made, towing bill was exhorbitant, and repair bill was 30% higher than quoted by independent repair shop. Defective part is available for inspection (in my possession).
