Plenum intake valve & gasket replaced in April 2003 and again in September 2003. Now engine needs to be replaced. Service dept. Told me they stock these parts due to frequent demand for them. This is my 2nd Pontiac and I am disappointed with the Bonneville. My 2 previous repairs were over $900 and now I may have to replace an engine. I would appreciate any assistance you could provide to rectify this issue. The vehicle is awaiting repair at dean arbour Chevrolet in East tawas, mi.
