I doubt that any car manufacturer would be happy about that because if they
build a car that blows up the day after the warranty expires, you can be
sure that the replacement car will be made by someone else.
GM has been doing that for years. Too bad a lot of Vegas didn't even
make it to end of warranty - same with Olds diesels. How about the
plastic intake manifolds on the 3.8 that melted from the EGR valve -
for over 15 years IIRC? Or the ignition switches that turned
themselves off while you were driving if you had a few keys on the
ring???

ANd people njust kept coming back to GM to buy another one!!!

BOHICA!!!!
