Yeah... I've owned 7 GM vehicles in the last 9 years and the ONLY time I ever hand engine/trans issues was once. And that was with a brand-new 1500 Silverado. The transmission died the first week we owned the truck. Turns out metal shavings fell into the trans-case and they swapped out the transmission over night. So I will admit that their trans/engines are pretty good and reliable.

However, that truck had under 14,000 miles on it when we sold it 2 years later, and the problems we had with it were so annoying in that time. We had panel-warping problems, gauges went out twice, horn stopped working 3 times, and the list just goes on. GM quality lacks everything except the obvious feel of cheapness.
