Consumer Description

WITH 39,000 MILES WE CAME THROUGH A TOLL BOOTH & WITH NO WARNING THE ENGINE MADE AN AWFUL NOISE & QUIT. AFTER THE EXPENSE OF A TEAR DOWN, THE ENGINE WAS FOUND DEFECTIVE. A SMALL PIECE OF METAL BROKE OFF, BENT THE RODS AND THERE WAS NO COMPRESSION ON ONE SIDE. WE HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW MOTOR AND FEEL AS THIS WAS A DEFECT WHICH GM SHOULD MAKE RIGHT WITH US. ( I RETIRED FROM GM, & MAY NEVER BUT A GM VEHICLE AGAIN.*JB
