[QUOTE="BigPoppa, post: 15303510, member: 177587"] The dealership is the front man for the brand. If a brand's dealers have poor service, it reflects directly on the brand's ability to effectively control quality. I'm so sick of buying GM products for various reasons, but I keep buying Suburbans every few years. The reason is two-fold. First, it is a rolling tank. Second, Ford quit making Excursions. I don't have a lot of options for a SUV in that size. But, every single GM product I have owned has really been a real headache in overall quality. Failed window regulators on two different vehicles from the same year. Oil leaks, leaking and/or failed power steering pumps (replaced three times on one Suburban alone). Just recently, I noticed our latest Suburban blowing light smoke under heavy acceleration. You really can only see it through looking in the rearview mirror at night. The headlights of the cars behind illuminate the smoke. You can even clearly see the heavy carbon deposits on the exhaust pipe. Took it to two different dealers and got the "we don't see any smoke" diagnosis, even after I showed them the exhaust deposits and explained it only does it under load and only visible through bright light. So I expect soon, I'll be replacing oxygen sensors and/or catalytic converters. I have a whole lot more stories about how terrible turd piles my GM products have been (even more so than the Chrysler vehicles I've owned.....Neons with the famous head gasket leaks, Rams with wheel bearings that explode and catch fire), but I don't really want to sit here and type 10 pages of forum posts. Surprisingly, my Mustangs are the first Ford products I've owned since my 1980 Mustang and they've been nothing but wonderful. I didn't previously buy Fords simply because I didn't like the interiors for the longest time. [/QUOTE]
