Alero 2.2L

• Manual transmission
• 54,059 miles

Alero had 13,000 KMs left on power train. 3 gear gone rest shifted smooth. Step father took car into O'Leary Pontiac in Fredericton NB Canada to have work done while I was serving with my unit in Afghanistan. He was told someone was riding the clutch and at teh same time speedshifting the engine - so the warranty is null and void on the car. Quoted 3940 and tax CDN to rebuild. 2400 and tax for a junk yard unit with no repairs.
Step dad ordered new clutch out of USA cost - 240 USD
used transmission from salvage yard with 80,000 KMs on it 525 CDN

The dealership would not send the car out to a professional transmission shop so it was put back together at the dealer for 692 plus tax CDN.

When my step father went to pick up my car - it wasn't washed (covered in a thick film of dust and grime from mechanics grease, and when he started teh car in gear he was able to drive it around the corner and up a hill with his foot to the floor on the clutch. Service dept swore up and down they test drove it on the road. Being a cop my step father was very aware of teh tire impressions from the garage to the final stopping/parking of my car and said they couldn't have test drove it. Besides the car had expired registration plates on it.
I put my life on the line every day that I go to work as a member of the armed forces in Afghanistan. The mechanic who did sh*tty work on my car put my step father and my mothers lives on the line by not doing his job.
They got my money and said tough luck basically.
I've returned home with an injury suffered over there and am looking at a new truck. GMC is not in my vocabulary.

I'm writing to the CEO of gM and giving him 21 days to respond - then every car manufacturer selling in Canada gets the letter and his response. Way to go GM
