#1 I appreciate the back up from others on this forum you know who you are!

#2. You say this happened on a 2000 Impala? Guess what that is Still a W body car and prone to nearly all the same issues as a Grand Prix.

#3. "I do not want to put my Wife in a Vehicle that was stated at purchase as SAFE and now to come to realize that they did not complete a legal safety on the vehicle. " YOUR negligence of proper PREVENITIVE maintenance is doing exactly this, legal safety check obviously was done as it passed inspection at time of the purchase.

#4. Posting later your apparent whole story changes nothing about the fact of neglect over the time period since owning the vehicle.

#5. Throwing daggers at me or whatever because my name has Vet in it nets you nothing, well besides maybe another response from me.

#6. Helping you see the obvious.......................

Your welcome VET.
