Well I agree with you on that it is kind of a long shot but at least it is something. I hope that as people become aware of this issue they may come across the tracking thread while researching the issue.

Model Year: 2008
Build Month/Year: Mar/08
Mileage (in Miles): 199,296mi. (320736km)
Have you experienced this issue (Yes/no)? Yes
If yes, have you validated w/ compression test (yes/no)? Yes: 220/230/90/220
If yes, did you have your car repaired (yes/no)? No. No misfires since replacing coils and injestors.
(Optional) If yes, what was your out of pocket cost? TBD

Darn.
Caught the dreaded disease (above).
Questions:
1. How soon should this bee repaired? I think it's been this way for some time.
2. Re: "GM is liable for all the cars they produced" : please elaborate.

Update:
If yes, have you validated w/ compression test (yes/no)? Yes: 220/230/90/220 COLD
If yes, have you validated w/ compression test (yes/no)? Yes: 215/220/215/210 HOT

Interesting: runs like new HOT.
Have not done the leak-down test yet.

Any input greatly appreciated.
