Ok ladies and gentleman... if you are reading this you probably google-d some of the problems you are having with your Pontiac Grand Am. Well, i have a GT and lets say it is a POS for starters. Never had so many problems with cars, and never again will i purchase a General Motors product. This is a costly problem with these cars and i swear one of these days when i am an attorney, i will take GM to court. To first off put this "dex-cool" coolant into cars,knowing dang well that it could act the way it does, and secondly not provide any type of reimbursement for the customer... is inexplicably ridiculous to say the least. My car has 60,000 miles on it and the intake gasket is going bad?! This is RIDICULOUS!

SOMEBODY SUE THESE CRIMINALS!!!

I am on my third intake gasket and really don't know why this happens. I think if enough Grand am owners complain to GM maybe something will happen. I also have a problem with the engine temperature running hotter than normal. No matter what I replace the temp gauge always reads over 205 to 210.
