[QUOTE="Speartip, post: 448269, member: 23341"] Thank You for a bit of clarification . Well, first thing , was it exhaust or intake manifold that was replaced and why? These are questions you must be asking so as a consumer can make educated and informed decisions . It sounds like you have a blown head gasket . Now if over heated enough can also cause the head to warp. It doesn't necessarily mean you need an entirely new engine . Head gaskets and heads are replaced all the time on this and other engines. I would be asking what exactly leads them to believe the entire engine needs replacing . Did they take head off and see cylinder wall scoring ? Did they drop the oil pan and see damaged crank or connecting rod bearings ? You see what I'm getting at. Basically explain what their saying as to how they come up with diagnosis. I would make an appt or better just drop in with all your paper work to speak with General Manager of the dealership . Go over everything with him. Show them warranty documentation, all your receipts from required maintenance,.Ask where on warranty document does it state that they will not repair engine regardless of issues or parts availability . See if that will get you anywhere . I would have done this early on myself . But be cool about it . Just present the facts. Manufacturers Warranties on brand new vehicles or any other products are solid . They will fix or replace anything to make it right . Extended warranties, especially on vehicles are questionable at best . As previous poster mentioned more like limited warranties . And I said in previous post , worthless. Sorry but it's just the way dealerships operate . Hard to trust when they have scammed so so many . Anyways hope it works out. Def talk to GM of dealership , that may get you somewhere . If not take the 7K and move on with your life. Use as down payment for another vehicle [/QUOTE]
