This is less an electric vehicle problem and more a “GM cars are crap” problem. Buying a car from General Morons means you’ll get the defects and recalls you deserve.

We’ve owned 2001 and 2011 GMC pickups. Zero problems.

Tough call when the battery cells are Chinese. The manufacturing defect could be in GM’s supply chain. Good luck getting that firm to shoulder the costs of the recall.

I have had success buying GM cars by getting really old ones, and usually with a proven drivetrain. A 20+ year old Chevy Caprice, Buick Park Avenue, or Buick Roadmaster is a good bet. The garbage ones were already retired. The 350 LT-1 engine and the the 3.8 L. engine are sound. I stay away from Cadillacs because extra gizmos in old cars = $$$ on repairs.
