Maybe I have looked at too many of these, but I believe that I have seen this one before.

Wow. Sorry for your trouble Dan.

Are you at liberty to say how this happened?

Did it happen on the street?

Are you planning to lawyer up, or are you just going to go ahead and fix it on your own?

What are your plans for the rebuild, if you have gotten that far yet?

Get GM involved. They have replaced these as much as 1 year out of warranty.
