Re: General Motors responds to class action lawsuits on intake manifold gaskets

Is this the Series II 3800 they're referring to?

My brother's 98 GTP had that go out this winter... So he had it fixed. Big fricken deal.

GM could certainly handle this better from a PR standpoint though. I just know there are shades of grey. Not everything is black and white. Such as if the gasket goes out on a 10 year old car with 350,000 miles on it. Is it really GM's responsibility to provide free maintaince or repairs in those situations? I don't think so.

Now if it's a common problem, and the car had say, 35,000 miles. Then in that case GM should maybe do some good PR and chip in on the repairs. And perhaps that's why GM is stating it's being handled on a case by case basis.
