It is only reasonable that a company that has only been operating a couple = of years having some initial problems.

After all these kind of machines are very dangerous and there are a lot of = explosions going on and a lot of heat generated.

Not to mention that the presence of highly explosive material in thin pipes= connected in one end to a big supply tanks and it has to travel over very = hot engine.

GM has the right to test out making vehicles under these dangerous situatio= ns and use ordinary citizens as test objects during few years.
