This is SOP for Government Motors.

Remember the gas engines they retrofitted to diesel in the early 'eighties? They were 20,000 mile engines. And when they failed, it was the owner's fault.

Well, yeah. If the owners hadn't been driving them they would not have failed!.............

Back when "In Search of Excellence" was the thing, I read/saw/heard Tom whatshisname tell a story about Coleman having a problem with handles falling off coolers.

All the corporate lackeys are proposing all sorts of ridiculous things, and "old man Coleman says, 'just fix the problem with the handles, and after you do, take care of the customers with the bad coolers.'"

Not only that, but the reputation of those GM converted diesels killed the market here, and is a big reason other makers won't offer there diesels in the US market.
