GM thumbs their nose at loyal owners and the petition.

Yes, but what did we really expect. An outside engineer came up with a device to address a shortcoming with the original GM design. How long will a direct injected engine last without a catch can? Maybe about 60k miles. Interesting that the GM power-train warranty has recently been reduced to 60K miles. The actual text from the warranty pamphlet states that the damage has to be a "result" of the modification or alteration. Also the same section refers to "components" that fail, so claiming an entire engine as a "part" would be inconsistent with the language of the rest of the section. Although the original party has resigned to pay for his repairs, and his VIN# will be forever stamped "WARRANTY VOID", let's keep circulating the petition. Maybe, someday, GM will quit burring their head in the sand and address the issue.
