GM. Dealers have already gotten the propper parts to fix the problem.

You know, this goes back to 2006 when I was talking to then head of Pontiac/Buick/GMC PR and Media. We were talking about the next gen Vibe around the corner. He said that GM wanted to put Ecotec motors in them, but Toyota would not agree to that due to the contract or whatever. GM wanted a more powerful power plant, and they settled that the Toyota 2.4 4cyl would make it.
I wonder if a GM powertrain, with powertrain controls would have stopped that from happening.
