I bought GM new in 1979. Within 50K miles but after 12K miles the following defects occurred...Master cylinder broke, Timing chain broke, left front spindle dropped, front brake pads wouldn't go past 8K miles, Transmission failed, Front tires wore out in 10K miles (grossly uneven treadwear), exhaust manifold cracked, ( this is all I can remember, I keep maintenance records just about forever and kept this one just to remind me of this Detroit built and designed disaster ) All out of warranty. Gratefully it was totaled when parked, took the insurance money and bought Toyota ( also Union built ) which went 250K with only routine maintenance required. My father fought the Japanese which caused me to have mixed feelings walking into a foreign dealership but common sense prevailed and I was forever a foreign buyer with no more regrets.
