I gave up on GM cars in the early 2000's. I had a Chevy Trailblazer, top of the line. First snowstorm, the electronic 4 wheel drive didn't work. Brought it to the dealer, reset the module started working again. Next snowstorm did it again. A foot of snow with no 4 wheel drive. Take it to the dealer, resets the module, tweaks the codes says I'm all set. Won't happen again. Wrong. Next snowstorm, no 4 wheel drive. Bring it back to the dealer, replaces the computer module, at that time a $1000 part, luckily still under warranty. Didn't wait for the next snowstorm. Next really cold morning, about 15 degrees, tried to engage the 4 wheel drive. Nope. Traded it in.
Prior to that I had an 1988 Chevy s10 Blazer with I believe was a 4 cyl 2 liter engine, that was notorious for seizing/ crapping out. Mine did. It was so bad that Chevy was replacing the entire engine for free if it was still under warranty. Mine wasn't under warranty so they gave me a brand new $2500 engine for $1000. Sold it right after that.
Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I got fooled twice. Never again.
Chevy trucks look really nice. More than once I had my eyes on a z71 short bed extended pickup. But I'm not going to make a $50000 mistake. I learned my lesson...
