Iowa objects to engine settlement over post April 10 buyers
The settlement faces judge Frank McGarr approval after a scheduled hearing. Iowa argues the deal offers nothing for customers who bought GM cars after April 10 1977. GM cites about 1400 Iowa buyers in engine switch cases with 500 to 700 possibly post April 10. If accepted the state would forgo pursuing dealers for those later purchasers.
