I will make this my last post and vent off some steam. My first and
last GM car will be traded off this Friday. I wish I could say it has
been a nice 9 years, but it is a bitter ending.

To any and all current and future GM owners, I leave you with the
following reasons GM will never recover:

DEXCOOL, known as DeathCool: upper and lower intake gaskets cost
$1,600 to replace. Don't let any dealer talk you into putting
DeathCool back into your car!

ISS, the Intermediate Steering Shaft has a life of about 30K miles.
Budget $260 for replacement here and rememebr to replace it often.

BCM, PCM, and Passlock: this overdesigned, unrelaible system has the
complexity of the NASA SpaceShuttle launch control systems, and costs
about the same to repair. You could spend $4,000 here and still have a
car that won't start due to random anti theft codes.

I would hope that GM could get comissions as Toyota's best saleman,
but I guess we taxpayers will just continue to bail them out.

Adios GM.

Perhaps GM's bailout was their commission for being Toyota's best salesman.

I too sold my GM some 4 years ago now, haven't looked back. Foruantely
I got out before the manifold gasket

As for bailouts, it is criminal to ask all taxpayers to pay for a
private companies existance, and the bleading still goes on. Remember
that in 2010 and make sure to know how they voted for TARP and bailouts
before you vote for the scum bag crooks of DC.

For changing the senate and congress is the best bet for a peaceful
solution to the corurption costing Americans their wealth.

A death they brought on themselves by their own hand and arrogance.

What makes you believe that ANY auto manufacture really cares much if it
loses a person who only buys a new vehicle from them every nine of ten
years? As long as any manufacture has buyers that will buy from them,
over and over again every three to five years, their business will grow and
they will stay in business. GM is STILL number one because MORE buyers
chose to buy another vehicle from them, every three to five years than ANY
other manufacturer, foreign or domestic.

The fact is every auto manufacture gains more of their NEW vehicle buyers
from those that bought one of their USED vehicles, than they LOSE from new
vehicle buyers that they lost, especially those that did not buy from them
again in three to five years.

Finally, you have posted something that shows a bit of logic, especially
those that vote to pass cap and trade and government healthcare. LOL

It's hard to understand what you mean how you've worded your sentence there.

and scratched out:


What is this ISS you speak of?

I've been hearing people complain about it for three years, but have not
heard one clunk in 60,000 miles...
