I tend to stay out of these discussions, because of the whole "he said/she said" tenor even in the face of actual data.

I will, however, say this: my family has been buying GM since 1960 and I can only think of one failure in that entire time*. We never even get the annoying "power window quit working" or anything. I can't think of anything that we have ever even had to take back to the dealership.

We of course do our own maintence; I like to think I'm easy on equipment but I can't account for the disparity in my ownership experience and what I'm seeing here. That's why I usually don't say too much.

* our new 1969 GMC pickup failed the rear end because they didn't put fluid in it at the assembly plant. I'm sure they have that fixed by now... :lol:

Just to add to my previous post:

We buy a new vehicle about every other year. Also, I drive a new GM vehicle every 90 days. I did have one truck I had to take over to the service garage in the last several years but I can't remember offhand what the issue was.

Oh - and somebody shot a sheetmetal screw through the wiring harness on the GTO so that the high beams don't work (it's still like that), but I don't count that one because it was a preproduction build.... :lol:
