A class-action suit has been filed against General Motors in Detroit concerning a defect in the suspension rods of more than 400,000 2007-2008MY Chevrolet Impalas that causes premature wear to the rear tires.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of a woman from Pennsylvania named Donna Trusky, who wants GM to replace the defective suspension rods on 423,000 Impalas from the 2007-2008MY the company sold over a two-year period.
Trusky said that she bought an Impala in 2008 and the tires wore out in 6,000 miles. Even though the dealer replaced them, he didn’t inform her of the suspension problem. The problem appeared again last November, when Trusky’s Impala wouldn’t pass an annual inspection because of worn tires, even though the car had covered less than 25,000 miles.
The woman is basing her lawsuit on the fact that, in 2008, GM issued a service bulletin for the police version of the Impala concerning the replacement of rear suspension rods, rear-wheel alignment and, if necessary, rear-tires by the dealers. However, civilian owners didn’t get the same notice. If successful, the lawsuit will cost GM millions of dollars.

So GM would just get what it deserves.
Not a Toyota recall=not news. Total waste of time...
Any bit of doubt left that our country is not a POLICE STATE?
Seems there are still rats making decisions at GM, the same type who brought down the company in the first place. They're the ones who make last-minute changes to design, as cost-cutting measures, that lead to these kind of avoidable flaws being incorporated into millions of cars. It's unacceptable, and until these weasels are rooted out and removed from the decision-making chain in the Corporation, GM will continue to take one step back for every two steps forward.
Sadly if this case should ever make it to the Supreme Court, no doubt the decision will come down in favor of the company, and that's what they count on, and worked for decades to accomplish instead of building better quality cars, subverting and undermining the integrity of the US judicial system, and they succeeded.
I predict one day GM will be bought out by the Chinese or the Koreans, and the quality of the cars will greatly improve.
Thats what happens when the Govt is not serving the people. When the govt. does not get time from serving Israel.
