Consumer Description

I DON'T BELIEVE THE CURRENT RESOLUTION TO GM'S RECALL ON THE CHEVY CRUZE CONCERNING THE ENGINE SPLASH PAN IS ADEQUATE AS IT ONLY ADDRESSES SAFETY AND NOT CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. AS THIS PART DIRECTLY AFFECTS THE FUEL MILEAGE AS ADVERTISED AS WELL AS THE DEGRADATION OF UNDERWOOD PARTS DUE TO WATER ENCROACHMENT, I DON'T BELIEVE BUTCHERING THE EXISTING PAN IS FAIR TO THE CONSUMER. AT THE LEAST, THE REDESIGNED PAN ON THE 2013 AND ANY OR ALL UPDATES MADE TO THE 2013 MODEL REGARDING THIS SAFETY ISSUE ARE WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THE CURRENT SOLUTION IN THAT I NO LONGER HAVE WHAT I PAID FOR DUE TO SAID RECALL AND ITS POOR SOLUTION. *TR
