Sounds pretty minor compared to recalls on some newer cars ..

That is kind of my point. A bunch of sensationalized BS propagated by bean counter engineering.

So, pontiacgp's link referenced a recall to "get these cars off the road". Hypothetically, how many of you guys would comply if you got a letter in the mail from GM offering a buyback for your car?

Ps. Sounds to me like it was a drunk driver problem that got the ball rolling. Let me guess, he wasn't insured so the lawyers went where the money is.

Only if they offered sticker... I'd like a spare 11k.

That whole thing was tragic, yes, but it's not the car's fault. Take any car from anymake of that era and have some reckless drunk ******** slam into it at "50-70mph" and it'll do some damage.
