This is a good thing since all cars can and will break. People like the media need to take a break for a change. Its like you people go the extra mile to make your own selfs look bad. I sell Chevrolet,GMC, Buick , Cadillac and Chysler, Dodge, Jeep and publicity like this is just stupid. Who cares.

Typical anti GM/Anti American Rheteric from the media. If we followed and critiqued Foreign cars to the extent that the media and the Foreign car buying public critiques GM we would see the hidden recalls and other methods many Foreign OEMs use to keep Their products protected from scrutiny.

I agree, if you look at statistics, gms is actually doin quite well in this economic crunch if you compare them for the other top car manufacturers, but gm is the one that keeps getting called out

OP, thats good info you posted, dont worry about *** holes because these are the same people who will be posting "Why has my new camaro lost power, can someone help" in the forums here when they get theirs. The point of these forums is to get info out about our cars, problems and ways to solve them.

I thought it was good info myself, if theres a faulty wire then better to get it out in the open and fixed quickly. On the other topic, Buick got named most reliable car , I hardly think thats negative press against GM !!!

thats a minor thing that happened, while disappointing its not that big of a deal, now if a rod flew through the hood, that would be bad

you know, if it was a honda she would have said "huh, this kind of thing never happens to hondas."

the reason GM is having a rough time is people like this. people like this suck.
