1997 Buick LeSabre review from North America

"Great car till the engine was destroyed by a cheap plastic GM part"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

My plastic intake manifold cracked.

I now have a destroyed engine.

General comments?

If you have a GM car with a plastic intake manifold, you have a ticking time bomb.

Go to Google and type in GM plastic intake manifold and read the horror stories.

I'll never buy another GM vehicle.
