Per Ed Pawlowski:
Do you like spending time at the dealer getting it fixed?
I bought GM cars for decades. Every one of them had defects and needed
warranty work. Last time they screwed me and I won't touch a GM car..

I had a '98 Suburban where there was some built-in flaw in the automatic
transmission that required major repair about every 60k miles.

First one was on GM, next one was on me - but I had them do it right and
bore out the affected cylinder and put in a sleeve.

The joker is that GM had known about the defect for something like 10
years but apparently the bean counters were running the company and it
was cheaper not to remedy it.

Somewhere I read that American car companies tend to be run by business
people while Japanese car companies tend to be run by engineers.... If
that is true, it explains a few things.
