    Quarterly profits take precedence above all else at GM. As long as there are customers lined up to purchase, why manufacture a quality and reliable vehicle when you don’t have to?

    Don’t miss those days of the never ending TSB’s year after year after year. It’s GM’s way of informing their dealerships they furnish crappy unproven and unreliable vehicle components. The consumers end up being GM’s guinea pig.

    The consumers ultimately head up GM’s beta testing department.

    Wouldn’t surprise me if NHTSA was heavily subsidized by GM. Seems like all major safety issues over the past 25 years just get buried and swept under the rug. Can only assume the actuaries at GM have determined it’s more economical to pay out a few $$ million in individual lawsuits resulting in death due to gross negligence rather than issue a recall costing $$ hundreds of millions. Quarterly profits at GM take precedence above all else. The safety of you and your family aren’t even on their radar.

    That’s quite a downgrade. My condolences. Welcome to the life of GM ownership.

    The ol’ zip-tie method….classic GM

    With engine components sourced from China, India and Mexico. Waiting for GM’s next $50 billion taxpayer funded bailout.

    You want to downgrade from a Toyota to GM? You’re in for a rude awakening.

    Based on this forum, ride quality is going to be the least of your problems.

    That’s quite a downgrade going from Honda and Toyota to GM. The days of just enjoying life and doing an oil change every 7500 miles have come to an end.
  11. 1997SierraSLT
    Hopefully the PO didn’t do any oil changes.

    GM does a few things ok. Vehicle electronics is not one of them.

    Any sentence that contains "Electric" and "GM" would be a certain "HELL NO"
  14. 1997SierraSLT
    "Electric" and "GM" combined within the same sentence is a hard "HELL NO"
  15. 1997SierraSLT
    Any vehicle that has "Electric" and "GM" combined into the same sentence would be "HELL NO"

    GM doesn't have to manufacture quality vehicles as long as the consumer continues to purchase. The days of owning GM vehicles past the warranty period is cost prohibitive to the consumer. GM is banking on their loyal customer base to bend over every 36,000 miles and trade up. Seems to be working out quite well for GM.

    Now you can get back to enjoying life. The only light you’ll be seeing pop up on the dash is to remind you of your next oil change.

    Just thankful GM isn't a major player in the manufacturing of 1st responder vehicles. If they were, it would be like, "Sorry your grandma is dead, couldn't get the ambulance started"
  20. 1997SierraSLT
    Perhaps GM should rebadge it to the Z51 Soccer Mom Platinum Edition But in all seriousness, thank God GM isn’t a player in manufacturing of first responder emergency use vehicles.

    GM doesn’t need to build a quality vehicle as long as they have a loyal customer base. They know this. GM is simply banking on their customer to get so sick and tired dealing with quality / reliably issues that the loyal customer will take it in the shorts and trade up to the newest model and start the process all over again.

    GM can do some things well. Reliable electronic fuel injection systems is not one of them. You're going to see that flashing CEL more times than you care to imagine over the life of ownership.

    I've had rotors with 120,000 miles on them that have looked better than that. Typical GM, deny deny deny and operating as intended or considered normal.
  24. 1997SierraSLT
    This is GM’s classic get out of jail free card……operating within specifications. All while your brand new GM truck slowly self destructs.

    Welcome to the life of GM ownership. With as many times as you’ll be seeing that CEL, GM should just be giving you a scan tool with every vehicle purchase.
