Throttle Body Issues??

[gone.c]

I wonder how acceptable it should be that an expensive part like the throttle body goes bad with less than 100,000 kms. (75,000 kms on my wave) They quoted me $400 for the part and $200 for labour + tax. Does that seem right? It's seem ridiculous that so many would have this problem. Perhaps a class action law suit should be filed?

It's not acceptable! GM's technical service department knows it's a problem and doesn't care to fix it. My throttle body was replaced twice under warranty and I had to pay for it the 3rd time at 87,000 km when my warranty was expired. That was a $800 hit. I've lost all faith in GM products and will never own anything of theirs again after I get rid of this vehicle.

I almost caused an accident after I pulled into an intersection when my Pontiac Wave lost power all of a sudden. I could have been hurt and so could have others. In my opinion, this is a clear and real hazard, and should be replaced under a safety recall bulletin. As for keeping it clean, how many other vehicle owners of other makes and models have this problem?

If you folks are interested in starting a class action suit, please let me know. If there are enough people, I'll look into getting a lawyer and start the ball rolling here, in Canada. If you are in another country, please don't let that stop you from taking part. Perhaps someone in your country will start this process there, too.

I've had it with GM not being accountable for their defective products and in this case, placing my family in danger. This most definitely should be a safety recall and I'm pretty confident that a judge will see it the same way.

Thanks,
