Well, except this was practically all GM dealers.  More like, typical
american dealer...
Typical American dealer???? the most notorious dealers/manufacturers for denialof problems are Japanese....specifically Nissan/Toyota......recall the defective
seatbelts in many Japanese cars??? Toyota and Nissan made a statement blaming
Americans for eating in their cars and getting food stuck in the buckles......not
only denial, but a ridiculous counter.....

As for American......true the engineering is lacking in all but the latest top-end
products, but does the 'typical Japanese' dealer replace a cracked engine block
for free when it is out of warantee???? back 10-12 years ago, my Dad's Crown
Victoria cracked the block at 55K (36K warantee) and the dealer put up little
fuss.......

Euro???? My experiences have been relatively good (I don't ever feeling good
about having to take my car to any dealer.......I kinda like to hold on to my $$)
