“1998-Bonneville 70,000 miles. Started stalling intermittently on one occasion, got car to mechanic and found out that the upper plenum had a hole burned right through it. Had to replace the upper manifold because of coolant leaking into the engine. $910.00 later it is fixed. Did some research and found that GM is aware of this problem and know of numerous complaints about this. Wondering when they are going to call for a recall??????”
