Their commercial offerings have been complete garbage since their 1991 model year. My family owned a '90 GMC Suburban which lasted 17 years and survived being struck by two 10-point bucks. But friends who bought the 1991 Suburban or any of their trucks past that point had constant issues with all kinds of nonsensical components. Anything from suspensions giving way, to door handles and tachometers just breaking for no reason.

I've often heard reports similar to this, but I've always questioned whether this is representative of the company as a whole, or the people doing the job...
I can see if individual components fail, it's the company. But if a bolt loosens, and it's isolated to only a few 10's of times per 10,000 units, doesn't that make it more likely that it was whatever employee was specializing in that particular bolt that day?
I mean, in the long run, it's still the MFR's fault, sure. After all, they obviously didn't look into it far enough to find the actual cause, and fire it. (Him/her)
PS - I used to be Union, would be again if the chance were available, so before anyone gets the idea, I'm not against the Union. I'm against lazy/unqualified/overpaid workers.
