Default Horrible Electronics

I dont know about everyone else but I think the electronics in GM have gone to crap, i've had all sorts of electrical problems with my 98 z28, i dont know how long GM has delt with delphi but i think thats the problem, so far i've had 1 window motor go out, rear defrost go out, ac go out, alternator go out, and all the lights in my stereo are burnt out, if they were smart they woulda put LEDs in the stereo but i guess they are just cost cutting <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> oh and thats all happend in the 6500 miles that i've owned the car <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" />

With all those electrical failures I would almost want to say there is a voltage problem with your car. Seems odd to have all that go in such a short (no pun intended) time.
