Bale Chevrolet, General Motors Sold us a new car with a defective healy-coiled engine ripoff

If you buy a new GM car from Bale Chevrolet be sure to check the engine for healy-coiling. This is were the GM factory overdrilled the spark-plug holes on the engine block and "rigged them" aka healy-coiled.

I was driving down the road, our Chevrolet Cavalier died. A spark plug had shot out of the engine. I tried to screw the plug back in and saw that it did not fit. I noticed that all the spark plugs had what appeared to be a brass ring around all of them. I called the dealership, they towed it in and told us we had a healy-coiled engine. We have never heard of this and did not understand what it was. Bale Chevrolet went so far as to accuse me of healy-coiling it!

I called a master mechanic at another dealership to get an unbiased opinion and he explained to me that it is illegal in our state to sell a car with a healy-coiled engine as a new car.

I was told by one of the managers at Bale that this matter would be taken care of. Now I have a service lien for $345.48 for the repair of the spark plug being re-healy-coiled.

I have paid thousands of dollars for normal reapirs on this vehicle to Bale Chevrolet but do not feel I should have to pay for an engine defect that was deceptively sold to me.
