Nope. My GTO has been flawless for 70k miles. Only thing that failed that wasn't at my own modding was the suspension(and its known for not lasting long in these cars). I've had a bunch of GM cars in the past and they have all been great cars. I'm expecting a cluster of really expensive repairs though since the only things that tend to have issues are $1000s each and I haven't had any of them somehow.
Julie bought her GTO as a dealer demo.. it was in the shop more the she probalyl drove it. $30k+ in warranty work. She sold it with maybe 17k miles on it. HHR SS seems to be going the same way.
I think it is newer GM cars that just suck. Its like they design a car 99% of the way and then just build it without really testing it. Only way I would EVER buy a GM car again is if I got the deal of a lifetime or it was a Corvette. Otherwise, I wish we wouldn't of bailed them out and they went bankrupt like a business that isn't profitable should.
