After filing a complaint with the NHTSA I am trying to get GM to do the right thing and help me with the cost of replacing our 3.0 engine. Whe the Tensioner pulley froze up, it caused the engine to completely fall apart. Before the failure, there was nothin wrong with our car.

If GM does not help the dozens of us that had to replace our engines out of pocket then they deserve to fall like Goliath with David in the biblical days of yore!!!!!!!
