Kind of like the GM 3.6 fiasco.
Or the Gm wiper recall.
Or the GM power steering issue.
Or the GM ignition switch issue.
Don't leave that bottom of the line questionable car manufacturer out.
How about Ford and the Focus transmission, or many other transmissions we dealt with when I used to work there, Dodge and their terrible front end parts, rust on the trucks, Nissan CVTs and the engines mentioned in the last page, Toyota and their truck frames....these are just off the top of my head, we could go on and on. Working in a few garages over the years I got to see first hand some of the failure patterns. Some people seem to pick up on GM the most. I don't know if it's because they get the most attention or it's just the people that own the problem models are more vocal than the people with other makes or what.
Only mentioning gm issues shows just how biased you are. If you want to pick on them, maybe pick on them for what's going on right now and not every problem you can think of over their product line. Also I think the ignition switch issue was a recall, and it didn't even affect my mom's 99 alero other than the key could be removed with it running once it was around 180k miles. I'll admit to being a little biased because myself, friends and family have owned a ton of older GM's that held up great and I've seen lots of others. Every brand has major failures even Toyota and Honda. I forgot to mention automatic transmissions in quite a few Honda's, cracked engine blocks on the one generation of civics. Yes, they all make some junk and people still buy them. Look how many rogues with CVTs are on the road now.
