Consumer Description

THE ORIGINAL MOTOR IN THIS VEHICLE IS DEFECTIVE. POOR DESIGN DOES NOT ALLOW THE OUTSIDE CYLINDERS TO COOL PROPERLY RESULTING IN A SCORCHING AND BREAKDOWN OF THE PISTON, RINGS AND CYLINDER WALLS. GM IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM (AND HAS BEEN FOR SOME TIME) AND IT IS LARGE ENOUGH THAT GM IS CURRENTLY UNABLE TO PROVIDE ENOUGH REPLACEMENT MOTORS TO CUSTOMERS. *LA
