S10 appropriate handling re problems with 2003 Buick Park Avenue possible safety recall issue for intake manifold and gasket. The consumer stated he received a call from a GM executive assistant responding to a letter that was sent to them. She dismissed the consumers concern because he didn't take the vehicle to an authorized dealer for the repair when the parts failed a second time. However, both technicians who repaired the manifold and gasket within a two- year period told the consumer the oem replacement parts were substandard. The parts were made of plastic and had degraded.
