2004 Grand Prix Repair question--Air jer

[Huskie]

I ran a carfax on an 04 Grand Prix and the only blemish was at 4,000 miles it states "cowl/firewall resealed". What's up with that? Any reason to be concerned about that? It looks in great shape and only 42,000 miles on it. Might pick it up for my daughter, her car is dying a slow death!!!!

i would not think so, you could do a search for tsb on this year and model to see if you can find a service bulletin for such a repair. that would be my suggestion.

I dont have access to TSBs at home but I have run into a few of these that would let water enter the heating system because of a seal above the cab filter. Its a simple repositioning of a seal to fix it. Usually its from someone knocking it loose while putting in a new cab filter.

They did have a TSB for the a water leak issue under the cowl on the Passenger side. Water would leak past the plastic cowl cover and into the cabin filter and ultimately into the area of the air box where the blower motor sits in and ultimately onto the passenger floor. What they did was add a plastic/rubber diverter under the cowl to move the water away from that area.

This was covered under a recall and is probably what the carfax has flagged.

Sooo, once it was repaired, has there been a history of recurring problems with that or not.

I've personally only run into one that had this issue. I would have to say that once its fixed there should be no worries. This is/was a minor issue with a reasonable and effective fix.

Most common is that when this seal leaks, it will accumulate in the blower motor, making it rust up, and eventually seize up.
