I doubt they will ever go bankrupt, but even if they did they would still be in business but just wouldn't have to pay some bills.
 
A lot of auto makers are struggling to survive. The auto industry is saturated with too many companies, competition. I say we kick the Japanese back to Japan.

Misengineered or not, if they would have stood by their product and eaten an $800 dollar bill, it most probably would have meant future $30K+ sales. Now they can count on zero future sales from me. Repairs worth $800 bucks today isn't going to keep the doors open tomorrow. Maybe others feel the same and that's why their in the world of hurt they're in.
 
Perhaps the Japanese have figured out this simple principle, don't be penny wise and dollar foolish. Don't know, never owned a Japanese vehicle. Hopefully Ford will still be doing well the next time I need a new vehicle, and perhaps by that time, Chevy will be a footnote in history like Packard and Studebaker. They are well on their way. There must be a reason.

man,
you need competition, keeps prices low. Lets just say, if GM makes crappy car for america, and constanly having problems and the consumers has to keep spending money on it. Then If you go with a German or Japanese which has no problems or less problems and their vehicles built here... you wouldn't buy it?? I work hard for my money, I like spend a vehicle that has less problems! I was planning to buy a chevy, but they have many problems! Misfire, wiring, and no value. So I went and got a tacoma!! Right now Tacoma has dominate the Ranger and Colorado like SO far ahead. There's a reason for that... because it was built RIGHT! granted there are some tacomas will have issue, far less than gm thou... I come here and read forum on what's happening, i feel bad for you guys... *sigh*

My next door neighbor this past spring had to have the cad. convertor replaced on his less than 6 month old brand new Camry. Point being, things happen on all products. These are made/built by people and I for one understand that. Yes I am a loyal GM buyer and have had problems with a few of my vehicles from them but not one has NOT been repaired properly. That is the key, how the manufacturer takes care of you. I had a Chevy Tracker that needed $1600 worth of tranny fixes due to my lack of use and storing it for 2 winters outdoors with a cover over it in northern Mi. weather. Bottom line rust formed on the shifter which went into the top of the tranny and needed to be pulled along with the transfer case in order to put in about $300 in parts. 18 months out of warranty and I called GM telling them what was up, how I always bought GM's and if they checked the records all maintanance was done on time or before. Well when I got my $1600 bill GM had picked up all but $360. Tell me how many of those foreign car companies would have done that. I'll stick with american and another reason to is I can go to about any town in the US and there will be a GM dealer to take care of me but may have to drive hundreds of miles to find a Toyota or other Foreign dealer.

the german dealers u might have problem finding about the Honda and Toyota is pretty much everywhere. then again i live in NJ, I'm in the mecca of all of everything. We have 3000 people per sq mile. But anyway, its a shame that you spend so much on a truck and comes with so many problems, I would be super pissed cause i need the vechicle to work. Every company has problems, it just seems gm has more... but then again what do i know, I dont deal with statistics.
well, my dad had a friend had tranny fix for with within 4 yrs, Honda dealer said this should not happen and they fixed it FREE. I love gm only the Vette thou .. well just that money do not grow on tree. Spend it wisely and wish ourselve luck that it hopes it does not come with any problems!

As long as you don't leave back east you're ok but get out west where towns can be 100 miles apart and your local BMW dealer may be many hundreds of miles from you.

I recently changed my engine oil. Now do I have to reset the oil monitor system to prevent the maint. light from turning on in the future. If yes, how do I do this.
Thanks Gary
