Extended warranties, believe it or not, if you read the mouse print, EXCLUDE THE PLASTIC UPPER INTAKE MANIFOLD. Wonder why that is.
Crap happens yes.
I can handle having to replace brakes ever 35,000 km cause the rear rotors are warped again.
I can handle a trunk that fills up with 10" of rainwater.
I can handle door handles that are plastic and snap off in your hand.
I can handle being on my third alternator.
I can handle a fuel guage that goes to full when the fuel level drops below a quarter tank.
I can hand a rear window defroster THAT CAUGHT ON FIRE
I can handle a security horn that honks as i am driving down the street.
I can handle water pumps blowing out.
I can handle dash lights that are soldered in and are irreplaceable burning out and now i have no dash lights
I can handle brocken power lock switchers
I can handle leather cracking up
I can handle heated seats that don't work any more
I can handle a creakie front suspsension.
I can handle a lumpy transmission.
I CAN NOT HANDLE A CHEAP PLASTIC INTAKE MANIFOLD THAT CRACKS AND DESTROYS AN ENGINE AFTER 65,000 MILES. This is happening to all the 3800s at one time or another.
I have talked to the dealers, they all giggle about how poor of a design this is. There are thousands of people on the net with the same problem.
A plastic intake manifold costs half what an aluminum one costs. They are junk. One part destroyed an entire engine.
