planted bad reviews?

[bogeypro]

I have been seeing a lot of negative posts from new accounts with very little posts. If you look at some of these accounts' posts, they are all negative.

 

What is the possibility that the rash of negative posts lately are planted? just a thought....

 

To clarify: I am not saying ALL of them, but I suspect that a few of them could be.

Exactly...

So what you are saying is that new users with very few posts, are posting negative comments, are planted? Please clarify?

Or some of them are new owners to GM trucks having issues and found this site.....

Every forum I've ever belonged to had "trolls". The internet for some is a place to be anyone they want. It is what it is. I for one take things for face value, and agree with the OP. Not to point fingers, but there are a few on the forum.

Regardless if they are trolls; the small hand full that are having problems (which some have legit problems), are the ones who are the loudest. These guys are the ones posting on every single post, complaining and bad mouthing the truck and GM. It makes it seem that there are more people than what it seems having issues..

 

I'm just sick of seeing the posts; "glad I found this site, I'm not buying my truck now". Really, let's listen to the internet and the few who are having problems to decide your vehicle purchase. I just want to lmao with these type of people.

 

My truck is perfect. It's my first GM vehicle and I'm glad I got it.

All car forums are this way. Either it's full of fanboys or negative Nancy's. You want a laugh, go over to TacomaWorld and read all the Homer posts and flaming on everyone who talks about other manufacturers trucks. GM sells a lot of trucks, I doubt these forums deter people in droves. To be honest, all the complaints here isn't what has been keeping me from buying a new truck. I'm holding out for the perfect deal since I don't "really" need a new truck. My Tacoma does 95% of what I need, I just want all the luxurious items and cabin space that isn't offered in a Tacoma.

I traded my 2013 Tacoma in on my GMC. I know all about tacomaworld.com. Rusty frames, vibration in the steering wheel, 4x4 going out, compass/out side temp indicator taking a dump, poor paint, etc.

 

When I had my 2011 5.0 Mustang, the mustang forums had #8 piston blowing apart, ac going out, faulty control arms, crappy manual transmission, faulty air bag sensors, rear end whine, etc.

 

It's everywhere, which is why I laugh at people thinking buying a different truck from another manufacture is the cure.

I take everyone's input with a grain of salt, and if it's something I can live with. Knock on wood, I've never had a car leave me stranded. Also, I've never owned a car I would consider a lemon and neither have my parents. IMO if people do their research and do a thorough test drive, they'll be happy with their purchases.

The problem is most people turn to the internet with bad reviews/experiences as opposed to good ones.

[Silverado4x4]

Like I have said before if you go to the internet and get on forums either Chevy, Ford, Dodge etc and listen to them you would never own a vehicle. All vehicles have there problems. I like the people that spend 60+ grand on a truck and think nothing should happen to it because the money they paid for it but don't think its the same vehicle that cost 25 grand base vehicle but with more add-ons.

I'm a legitimate owner that's had legitimate issues...

 

I like to think that if I have an issue that shouldn't be an issue, posting it on here might help someone else avoid the issue.

 

For example, my Goodyear SR-A tires that are stuck on an All Terrain package and marketed as All Terrain tires are pure crap. If I can make that known, maybe GM won't put those tires on anymore, but at the very least someone might read that and swap tires before they put any miles & depreciation on them.

 

I know of at least one person who's said they're swapping tires because of what they've read...I feel good about that.

 

In capitalism, the market has a voice...

 

 

Better question...why does it bother you that people complain/vent about their issues? Does it make your truck less nice to you? Does it hurt the image you have of yourself driving around in that truck?
