Whistle Blower - GM In Trouble

[papanots]

This is nothing new. But now, more proof that GM knew all along and was trying to hide it. A full list of affected vehicles is at the bottom of the article. I have already asked for a re-imbursement for my gasket that was done two months ago on my 2002 Impala LS. I love the car, but I hate the shoddy workmanship.

Still pending. I fired off the link to the article to GM and will be sending a hard copy via Fed Ex on Monday. Like I said, I really love this car but with this, the shoddy workmanship as well as on-going tranny trouble (see previous post) I'm pretty much at patience end. I will post any update to my complaint.

I also had the lower intake gasket on my 2002 Mallibu replaced two months ago at 100k and GM offered me 50/50 "goodwill". I then sent a registered letter threaterning small claims court if not fully reimbursed and was offered another $200 bringing the compensation to 67%GM / 33%me. I plan to proceed with a court application to seek full reimbursement - more a matter of principle than the amount outstanding at this point. However, now GM can cover my court costs too.

Are they talking about 3800's here? ("Upper intake manifold composite material may degrade...and could result in an internal or external coolant leak.") I would assume its the EGR stove pipe area. I always thought the 3100/3400 would be the first to get major attention with their lower intake gasket problems

Just goes to show you how car manufacturing companies make "imperfections" in their vehicles to wallet rape you. This is pathetic! They knew for years!? I am JUST finding out now. I plan on taking my car in to the shop in the morning to see if my impala is affected by this.
