What owners wrote
The van was involved in a head-on crash, traveling at 35 MPH and there was no deployment of the driver's side or passenger's side air bags. Van will be repaired.
Engine: intake manifold gasket leaking. I followed thru with a complaint to the bbb and to pontiac's 800 number. I was told I needed to have the van diagnosed at a GM dealer before anything could be done by pontiac. My dealer quality pontiac in cocoa, florida looked at the van and agreed the intake manifold gasket was leaking (november 2002). Quality informed me it would be about $500 to repair.
