dealer would only replace the heads, GM stepped in and new engine installed at another dealer.
I didnt see anybody calling GM a pos for not stepping in up until today where apparently they are involved now.
PS, kudos to those from other dealers, GM and elsewhere that stepped up to help the OP.

That case had other circumstances. It was one of those, again, where GM got tired of the bully customer.

I felt this way long before I owned my business.
I always wanted to own a business and make a lot of money. And I always defended those who did in a free society. In every way.
Well now I own my business (just not making a ton of money lol) and I still feel the same all the way around.
I have learned a lot owning a business that I had no clue of before. It used to piss me off when companies would offer the best prices to the new customers and the long time customers didn't get the good deals. And the new customers would bitch because their rates would go up so fast after they signed up. Well it make perfect sense now. You need the new business. You have to entice new business and you can't afford to give long time customers those rates or you lose.
Just one quick example. lol
But as far as liability in this situation I was always an employee of someone. And I did stupid shit like break flourecent light bulb tubes like I was Luke freaking Skywalker by the dumpsters. That would have been a fine for the company and I realized one day that that is such bullshit. I was a VFW with a good credit score and a great work history. How was the company supposed to know I might have cost them like that. OR, what if a company driver (because I saw it when I drove 18 wheelers) was drunk. I always thought it was bullshit for the company to have to pay when it was his dumb ass fault and the company did their due diligence in hiring a guy who had a perfect driving record and good credit with half a million certified safe miles.
Liability. Of course. But we go WAY overboard at times. And that is all I'm saying.
BUT, I do think that officially and legally we hold businesses accountable to a level that makes people not want to bother. I know me and Bonnie held off hiring simply because it creates way too much risk and we take on so much as it is.
