Some catch it in the early stages and only pay $400-1200 to get it
fixed. I've spent some time in Pontiac, Buick and Chevy forums reading
about the pain and expense this poor design has caused.
This is why GM is doomed. Not only would I never buy another one, but
when I see one on the highway I look to see what the fool who bought one
looks like.

Ditto. A friend is gong to be buying a car shortly, says anything but a GM.
Me, I will not even rent one.


Is that why I have only gotten 200,000 trouble free miles on my last
several GM automobiles?

I had great luck with my GMC pickup, but my next pickup will be a Ford
or a Toyota, if they start making a diesel.
