So does that also void all of GM’s warranties??

That's what 'd like to know. I just spent $1800 for an extended bumper to bumper warranty on a 2008 Cadillac with 1800 miles on it.

Great.

So. it's GM's fault Impala owners will have to run through 8 sets of tires when they should be running through one and they refuse to fix the obvious problem?

Color Government Motors "dead". As it should be. As it should have been a year or so ago.

I can't wait for ObamaCare when the government monopoly starts making good on our heart and cancer treatments...

Nice work GM. Way to get repeat customers for your garbage. No wonder no one is buying your crap anymore.

Typical union ****. "It's not my yob, man!" I wouldn't have a GM product if they gave it to me for free.

You are probably right regards to car. I should have speced PICKUP and with the new Eco-Boost, Ford PU is even harder to beat.

Wow. Just wow.

Anyone who considers buying a GM product after this should have their head examined...

All “new” GM has to do is sort of stay in business until after the 2012 election. Then they will go out of business for real. Having served their purpose, see.

We will never get the money back no matter who is president.

Hell, they never settled the Dexcool vs. gasket issue from the 90’s...1,000’s forked over $1,000’s on blown garbage intake manifold gaskets...GM fixed a few models but left others out in the cold.

“Simple solution - BUY FORD.”

UAW...sorry, still UN-AMERICAN. My past few cars have been made by REAL AMERICANS...people that are American, but don’t belong to anti-American entities like the UAW. Obviously, these cars are made by companies that are not traditionally considered “American”, but the workers are people that LOVE the country and LOVE their company...so what more could I ask for?

Incredible how screwed up things are.

Well the laughs keep on going.
The only ones who would have bought a car from GM after Obama took it over were progressives.

Guess they get screwed now eh?

And they’ll get away clean. Suing GM is like suing Congress, ain’t gonna happen. For those you morons still buying GM cars, have fun with that.

It’s really great that the govt. is now rationing car warranty repairs. Wait till they start doing it with healthcare.

No, according to articles, they agreed to assume liability for Old GM’s warranties, but not defects.
