Today, I read that GM is laying of 30,000 people and closing down a number of manufacturing plants. Clearly, it's because more and more people are not buying their vehicles. Some are not buying due to price, some because of bad service, and others because of bad quality. I feel for the employees that are losing their jobs, but it's the decision makers at the top that should be gone. The people that signed off on bad design which led to bad quality, the people that signed off on the "ok" to go with lesser quality on parts, and the "ok" to build stuff faster with less quality checks. It's all of these little decisions that led GM to start putting out a product that quite simply does not last and is too expensive to own because of how fast repairs need to be made for stuff wearing out that shouldn't wear out as fast as it does.
This big announcement today was a result of poor quality product over a number of years. My own particular car was only 3 years old when I bought it, and with repairs, I've almost paid for it twice.
If you are a GM shareholder, and have lost 40% of your share value this year, you should be thinking about kicking out the guys at the top of the company you own.

Nice to hear that GM is having a hard time. To me its the service at the dealer thats screwing GM. The dealer does care about you or your business. They know most of the time you've be back for warranty service. I tell everyone I can not to shop GM.
What do you know about this, Mr. George? Your overall lack of consideration for people, your lack of integrity makes GM a hero in comparison. Thought you drove a GM product. Get off the internet and leave the earth. You are not wanted here.
To "anonymous". The fact that you are describing yourself as "anonymous" speaks volumes about your lack of integrity. As for my lack of consideration of people, and asking me to leave the earth....wow...bold statements. If you know me, or I know you, have some guts to identify yourself. This blog is about a valid issue I have with GM Canada. I receive 3-4 emails per month from other GM owners who have had similar problems with GM quality or service. Yes I drive a GM, at the moment. It's not easy to just sell the car one has and go out and get another. But I can assure you, the one I'm driving now will be the last.
Not sure who you are, "anonymous" but asking someone to leave the earth and questioning someone's integrity without having enough guts to publish your own name, speaks volumes.
