GM Poor Quality Costs Bigly

[AXE]

No fucking shit! I guess it hurts the bottom line when you build a POS. How will they recoup those costs.........hmmmmm.......probably cut costs by lowering quality and increase prices on new models.........basically stick it to the customer.

If they took a $300 million hit and haven't even addressed 10% of these craptacular motors (which might be a high estimate), then they are looking at $3 to 5 billion in warranty claims. That doesn't include the lawsuits and wrongful death settlements. What a fucking shit show that skirt is running!

That $300m adds an additional $111 per vehicle cost, if added to all vehicles sold. That doesn't take into account inflation, increased labor costs and parts supplier costs, etc., all that will make the sticker prices rise. Not good.

Been a long while since I seen a lifter issue reported. Reddit probably has them, there's more posts about theses shitty motors there than all other media combined.

Didn't you already grenade that shitbox HC you have? Lifters wasn't it?

It may not happen, but you're still getting a new motor, cause they'll all eventually be replaced.......that's the program that's unfolding.
