Gm has already refused to offer a recall for issues that the civilian and police impalas' commonly shared. Such as the rear camber in the rear would go out of balance which lead to numerous blowouts that caused fatalities in the worse cases.

You're right. It's much more likely to be a conspiracy to kill everyone instead of it actually being a supposedly "heavy duty" suspension part installed on police duty models that ended up being faulty.

if you don't believe me go look it up for yourself; there was an article posted in this section about a lawsuit where GM was trying to say they were not responsible for recalls for the Impalas issues due to it being " an old GM (before the bailout) issue"
