THIS is a follow-up to my original post.

On monday morning(6/23/03) I went to the dealer and asked them to sign a letter stating they had no responsibility for the engine problem and I would take the car.

The body of the letter follows:(with name removed)

-------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Mr. xxxxx

Regarding the Steering Gear Recall repair performed on Friday 6/20/03 and the engine problem that ensued during the time the 1997 Olds Silhouette was in the custody of xxxxxxxxxxxxx.

We at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx have examined the engine problem to the best of our ability, without disassembling the engine and have concluded that we bear no responsibility for the problem as a result of any action taken by the employees of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Sincerely

Signed: ___________________________________Title: ________________________

They said that they would need to run the letter through their legal dept.. I gave them the Keys to the car and left.

Six days and no response.............
