Question
yesterday i had to change the upper radiator hose in my mom's malibu.  while doing some online research before proceeding, i found many people writing in to forums about filing class action lawsuits about this particular car for the cooling system and the intake manifold gasket.  today she took her car to her mechanic and was told her i/m gasket is blown and needs replacement, same as all the others.  do you know the status of these lawsuits and do you think she should proceed with one.  i know you're not a lawyer but your experience is priceless.  thank you.

Answer
Jeff,
  I looked on line and came up with nothing here in America but there is a Class Action Law Suit against GM in Canada. Don't ask me why it hasn't trickled South but, from what I saw, it hasn't. It should!! You should be one to start it. You might look in a search engine at "GM Class Action Law Suits".  Good luck, brother..

Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you. I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire. If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle. PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you.. Skip
