The FBI didn’t raid anyone when Corvairs were rolling over.
I was too young to remember the details concerning the gas tank explosions regarding some US company trucks — Chevy? I do think the automaker was hauled in front of congress to explain the design flaw. How does that case compare to what’s happening here?
not that Ralph Mouth Nader didn’t want them to...
Thank you Mr. Nader. I didn't know you were a poster.
They didn't need to, they had Ralph Nader :)
Corvairs roll over? Ack. I have one of those. Never drive it, but now, maybe never will!
“The FBI didn’t raid anyone when Corvairs were rolling over.”
Back then, though, America was free/s
Was the Corvair REALLY an unsafe car, or the victim of “junk science”? Sure got Ralph Nader’s career going. BARF!!!
That’s a fallacy. Corvairs were never “rolling over”.
...former owner of more than 5 Corvairs.

The FBI didn’t raid GM (now Government Motors) when they perpetrated
a fraud on their customers with the “You only need to change Dexcool
coolant after 150,000 miles!!!”.
They left out that the lower manifold gasket started failing in
the Dexcool-ed engines at anywhere from 40K on up. WELL BELOW 150K miles.
And then had the classless b-lls to tell GM owners that “You really
need to have that lower manifold gasket replaced for $1,000”,
but didn’t tell you that GM engineers/management SCREWED THE POOCH.
When my dear old mother was hit with this sock to the gut, I investigated
and found out this was well-known and the subject of a class-action
suit in (of all places) Canada.
After we passed a few articles from the internet about GM’s
MENDACITY (that a near-curse word for “LIAR” amongst Southerners
here in the USA), the nice lady that demanded $1000 backed down to $700.
In retrospect, I should have told Ma to park her car on the Chevy dealers
lot with a “Free car that will melt down after the “good for 150,000 miles”
Dexcool in the radiator fries a manifold gasket and the motor melts”.
Well, my mom is just an average patriotic American that survived
WWII and all that followed up till now.
Where was the FBI when she needed them to investigates the liars,
cheaters and THIEVES that are GM?
