Years ago, when US automakers successfully lobbied Congress to set limits on imported cars, GM celebrated by caving in to steep UAW demands, paying their managers bonuses, then raising the price on their cars.
I swore then I’d never buy another GM car, and I have not.
Proof that GM is crap, in the 90s, rather than installing airbags (volvo started in 89), they put seatbelts on the door and called that SRS.
So in a side impact you were not restrained.
That turned me off to gm.
That came back to bite them in the rear when those foreign/imported makes decided to establish manufacturing and assembly in the US. Since that time, those facilities have multiplied and US makers' only answer was to move to Mexico.
How much you wanna bet they cut corners too and quality suffered. Probably about the time we bought our car from them. Important point: if they had tried to make it right, we might have continued being customers. Naw, their quality is terrible. Always has been, always will be.
