GM is seriously so fucking trash. Everyone I have ever known with a GM product had seriously regretted it within 6 months.

I own a 2001 pickup and the transmission went once. Other than that no major repairs in the 15 years I've owned it.

Thousands of broken sun shells in that era

I'd say their truck drivetrains are second to none in terms of quality (and wildly popular in the modding community) but the rest of their lineup is straight cheap junk.

I've put 160,000 miles on my Impala. I've had to replace a vent solonoid once, took like 10 minutes in the driveway. Also had an evap solonoid go bad. Other than that it's been oil, brakes, and tires. 8 years on and still my daily driver.

Just like every other brand, you have to know which models, years, bodystyles, powertrains, etc have excessive issues and avoid them, then hope you don't get the 1/100 that's a lemon.
