After having replaced window regulators in each (4) door of my 2000 LeSabre, and having at least one door control module die, and numerous sensors and other electrical items (controls, switches, etc.), I would not trust GM to engineer any electrical system. I agree - no more GM’s for me.

I had a lot of the same problems with a BMW 325 that I had. My sister had all kinds of electrical problems with her Toyota. So much for all those claims about Toyota Quality.

But Quality has to be measured over thousands of vehicles. Anecdotal stories only go so far.

Ford isn't much better (and I like both ford and gm, at least in the past). I have a newer mustang which at 30k has already needed a throwout bearing (mfg. had a bad run, no recall, cost me 650.00 installed) sway bar links, and now it looks like it needs lower control arms (bushings going bad). Sigh. I'll never buy a new car again. Sticking with used stuff i can fix myself..
It will be a cold day in Hades that I spend 41+K on something that can only go 40 miles!
