Unfortunately for Delorean, the engineering on his cars sucked, too! We had SOOO many people get stuck in their cars when the inner door handle latches broke off(in their hands, no less)when trying to open up the doors. Some people had to wait up to 3 months to get replacement parts for their cars...

Wow - that's a long time to be stuck in a car....sorry, had to say it....been a rough week at work.

I hear ya...crappy day at work for me, too!

Actually, most of the time, we had to break the side door glass to get the people out. The inner window was the only part that rolled down. See picture!



The average wait time for parts to repair the cars was 2-3 months...as the parts came from Ireland, through customs and then to a big warehouse in Irvine, Ca...and then to the dealerships!

GM s problem is there engineers have their head in the sand # 1 they will never admit that Dex cool is junk a year ago we had four gms in my family One Pontiac Grand Am just fell apart every week it was some thing going bad Still have one 200 Grand Am Gt
It is now on it second intake gasket Dex cool eats up the gasket Last March my wife’s 2000 Lumina That just turn 30000 miles just fell apart all in two days First the radio was going crazy then the day I was take it back to the dealer for transmission problem the seat broke They tell me That all 20000 Luminas and a problem with a defect power valve and you have to pull the trans out They then tell me my warranty ran out the week before They then said it will cost 3,800.00 to fix I got in a heated battle with the dealership If they have a known defect they should have a recall on it So I left and stop by a Jeep dealer to look at a 04 Grand Cherokee I bought one that day Got a inline 6 with a 10 year 100,000 warranty Last summer when my sons Grand Am was acting up he got p--- off and also bought a Grand Cherokee with 10/100.000 then last Oct My 91 Blazer with 175, 000 miles the rear stated to go bad I can not complain with it It had been a good truck I did not know if I would rebuild the rear or replace it I happen to stop my jeep first to look at a used Cherokee I was not really looking to buy one That’s the best way to buy a car when your not really interested I ended up with a brand new 04 Grand Cherokee Columbia edition with all the bells and whistle It was the last day in Oct
Made me a deal I could not refuse every time I would say I will think about it and start to walk out They just kept making the deal sweeter and sweeter I also have 10/100.000 warranty I have all ways been a GM man but they just are not as good as they once were Heck even Hyundai’s give you 10/100.000 warranty GM has to get with the program So far I am very happy with my jeeps and I love that inline 6 that a 300.000 motor

I'd love to buy American but I'm not going to buy something that will fall apart in year one. It's too bad things have gotten as bad as they are. Outside of Cadillac, there are few cars at GM I would really buy. Uninspiring unreliable cars. It's really too bad.
