Leaking oil and then combined with fire in the engine compartment is a real confidence booster for the GM brand.

I’ve had many cars that leaked copious amounts of oil and they have never caught fire. What am I doing wrong?

You’re not buying American cars.

Ironically, whenever a car gets recalled I think “damn! I shoulda bought one of those, because now the maker will be taking it back at above market value.”
