Owning a company, you are right. 1 customer having a bad experience will tell 1,000 people how bad it was, but the majority of the satisfied customers will usually comment only when asked.

Reality is right now all of the big automakers are having issues...if GM nailed the quality, they might put one of them out of business...

As a previous company owner also, let me tell you problems are always going to exist. But the real proof of the pudding is in how you handle these problems and how quickly you resolve them to exceed your customers expectations. Most people can deal with problems, but they can’t deal with are promises without dates, no follow through, and a general regard that your problem is just not that important. The companies that master this part of it are usually quite successful..

This 100% is absolutely accurate.
According to Consumer Reports these vehicles have a "5.9 to 8.2 percent" rate of major engine repairs.
The bigger problem is that GM has no idea how to fix these lifter issues. This problem has been going on for years, and got worse once they made the brilliant decision to install the lifters on all the cylinders. They probably don't care because they will be out of the internal combustion engine business in 11 years.

I worked for a large auto/truck supplier. If we had bad parts in the 1 out of 100 range, we would have been out of business in days.

There is no way ICE is dead in 11 years…USA needs ICE for military…and there is not enough electrical generating capability to replace all the ICE vehicles on the road…gotta build more than charging stations; need power plants if all vehicles have to be electric…

100% correct the ICE engine is never going away, GM is coming out with a new V8 ICE I need to find the link. Look at what Hertz is doing they are selling off 22,000 electric vehicles which is 1/3rd of there vehicles inventory because nobody wants to rent them and using the money to purchase gas vehicles, electric vehicles are dieing off and the manufacturers are seeing this.

The entire market won't be all electric in 2035, but according to Mary Barra GM will be for all vehicles up to light duty (which includes up to 1500). 2500 and up may still be ICE.
