I heard it is a hunk of junk. Who made it?

A partnership between GM Canada and General Dynamics Land Systems produced the Stryker.

The base vehicle (hull, automotive) is made in canada.

Many of these problems were glossed over in the initial field trials. Do a search for M113 for extended comments.

Striker cost $2.5M vs M113A3 $300K. Some of the price differential is in systems mounted on vehicle, the remote weapons station is an example,

This vehicle was chosen because it had wheels. Another innovation by the general who gave everybody berets.

I am currently at Camp Endurance outside of Mosul and I assure you our Strykers are not a hunk of junk. They are respected outside the gates and provide us plenty of confidence. I don't mean to sound rude, but I do know exactly what I am talking about.
