Just won my second lawsuit against GM for Breach of Warranty, Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act Violation of VCPA 59.1-200. First lawsuit can be read here: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=183524

This case was more clear cut than the other one and definately something GM should honor. I developed a coolant leak from the oil cooler hose fitting on the left side of the engine block. There is a PIP#4735B bulletin that explains that the threads on the fitting were crossthreaded into the engine block from the factory.

If I'm ever in your neighborhood, I'll be sure to not step on your grass!

Congrats on the win!

As long as you are not the Local GM representative, you can step on my grass anytime.

I always play by the 3 strike and your'e out rule...and believe me, he has struck out many times.

Congrations Awesome_SS.

U should not have to go through this cr_p to get them to do what they should have done on their own.

Exactly. They did their very best to weasel out of it, telling me my mods made the sensor go bad and tried to ignore the service bulletin on the crossthreaded fitting from the factory.
