My oldest GM vehicles turns 9 years old this year. My other GM vehicle will be 7 years old. TOTAL repairs since buying new for BOTH vehicles has been $10 (for a light bulb). Just when are these "headaches" supposed to start?? I'll probably grow bored with these cars and trade by then, although we DID keep our "crappy", "headache" of a Ford for 300,000+ miles. It did cost a tad more in repairs. About $300 over 17 years.

And it's ironic that the North American manufacturers are building vehicles that are as good as Japanese used to be, while the Japanese marques have dropped in quality with higher production rates.
