I swore off Government Motors back in 2002. After loosing $35,000 on 2 of the POS in 4 years. Bought a new 98 GMC pickup. Before it had 70,000 miles the alternator, water pump, hood latch and transmission all broke and went out. Bought the wife a new Buick in 2000. It had 7,000 miles on it when it started knocking. We took it back to dealer and they told us it was a known problem in that V6 engine. They said they would have to replace 3 pistons that were slapping. I told them I wanted a new engine not a rebuilt one in a 6 month old vehicle. They said tough shucks, call GM. So I did and they told me basically the same thing. Warranty says they have the choice to repair or replace. So they replaced the pistons and guess what it was knocking again by 20,000 miles. This time they said they had found that they would go 100,000 miles knocking so pound sand. Well another year rolls by with little crap happing like the glove box lid falling off into the floor board among other crap. Then about 36,200 miles we are head home from her mothers and go to take off from a red light and the transmission goes out. GM refuses to cover it because it is 200 miles out of warranty. 3 years 36,000 miles. Paid about $2500 to have it rebuilt and took it to a Nissan dealer and 2 Toyota dealers and none of them wanted to take it as a trade in, remember motor is still knocking. finally managed to just sell it for $8,000 to just get rid of it. So we wound up paying about $20K to drive that POC 36,000 miles. Sold the POC truck also, went to Toyota's and since then we have driven Toyota's close to a Million miles and have only replaced a water pump and a starter. Both on the Tundra I am now driving with 210,000 miles on it.
