Oh,and as a side note my lawyer said at the beginning of this to not drive the vehicle if I wanted any chance of winning,so basically I parked a truck with 7k miles on it for 18 months and went and bought a new one because I needed a truck. I wouldn't recommend that route it tends to consume you. You are better off to just cut your losses and broom the car if it is a cronic problem. I would however contact GM customer service and demand to talk to the regional service manager and explain your situation sometimes this will get the dealers attention because they will realize you won't take their crap........whew I'm done!
Yeah, I filed and did the "whole due process" and went to the dealership before I sent in all paperwork and told them what I had in mind. Obviously they knew that the car was no good, and decided to work out a deal with me to get a new car and I upgraded to '94 Chevy Beretta Z26. I was lucky and it worked out for me. (It is and can be a pain in the ass. You have to follow protocol right down to the letter and dot your i's and cross your t's.)
GOOD LUCK!

Update. I took the car back and spoke to the manager and showed him the crappy job they did under the hood and not washing it off. I also told him on the phone the night before that I wanted a loaner car ready to go when I got there. I was pretty stern on the fact they screwed me over and I wanted it done right this time.

They told me the head must have a crack in it. They claim that they can only get remanufactured heads for the 2.2L Ecotec and GM doesn’t make new ones... Really?

Anyway I have a loaner car now... but this is the last time I go to this dealership for service!
