😂😂😂 at least the Fords drive to the dealership under their own power for the Recall. Can tell you’re a GM guy, because you can’t see that recalls aren’t a bad thing lol at least every other manufacturer admits they have an issue, comes up with a fix, and allows the consumer to come in for the fix, BEFORE it’s an issue. Unlike GM, that just sells absolute pieces of garbage, doesn’t issue a recall, so no fix, they just throw the same faulty parts in it again, so it can leave you stranded. Sounds like job security to me lol

If you look at Consumer reports latest reliability survey, chevy, gmc followed by cadillac were all at the bottom. Chevy 4 slots above GMC. GMC 3rd to last followed by Cadillac followed by Rivian. 95% of cadillac sales are the escalade. 100% of GMC is trucks and suv's...exactly what Dustin is towing all the time.

I’ve owned 4 Cadillacs in my lifetime and ALL had serious mechanical problems. They were always in warranty so no cost to me. One had the belt tensioner pulley fall off in the street while driving. It was only 3 weeks old at the time. I would NEVER own another one even if it was free. Shoddy engineering and assembly‼️

@ If I'd been smart at the time, that's what I would have done but I thought I'd just gotten a lemon. Actually I was right. Turns out, ALL 4 of them were LEMONS! The Cadillac salesman was a neighbor and a good friend he gave me incredible deals. Unfortunately, he just wasn’t able to sell me a reliable trouble free car. Another one of my Cadillacs, suddenly began running very rough then died. Turns out all the engine coolant had leaked into the oil crankcase. GM REFUSED to replace the engine which the dealership had recommended. Instead, GM insisted that the dealership do a complete tear down replace the failed internal part. They did and I had no further engine issues.

You must not buy newer Honda vehicles. They've been putting out a lot of trash in the last 10 years. That "Earth Dreams" engine was a big decline in quality and their transmissions are terrible. The 2nd Gen Ridgeline and Pilot have had a ton of problems with torque converter failures. When the new Ridgeline first came out and I looked into one because my father had considered one, I was watching reviews on youtube and noticed a bunch had accidentally overheated the transmission without even trying. I suspected that had to be a case of Honda under-engineering the trans cooler and thought that would be very hard on the fluid. It had me curious so I looked into Honda's maintenance recommendations for the new Ridgeline and they say to change the transmission fluid every 25k or 30k miles. No wonder they're cooking converters and valve bodies. Their overpriced LED headlights were complete garbage for many years. I remember there were even lawsuits over the headlights burning out just after warranty and Honda wanted $1200 per headlight, and the replacement headlights didn't last any longer. Honda's motorcycles and other small engine products are fantastic and super reliable. Their cars have been wildly overrated in terms of reliability/quality since 2008 or so. The 2008 was a major low point. That's when Civic engine blocks were cracking left and right, Civics and Accords were coming from the factory with some of the worst brake parts I have ever seen. They would literally burn through pads and rotors in 25k miles. The paint and clear coat they were using is still some of the worst I've seen in the last 20 years. The clear would cloud up and peel off in huge chunks after just a few years. The 1st gen Ridgeline had terrible rust issues. They don't design their "trucks' to handle the gravel thrown at the underbody and the unibody was poorly designed to handle road salt. They rust horribly if not sprayed with Fluid Film one or twice a year. I'm still amazed at how Honda was able to avoid most of the bad PR for their transmission failures. They have gone through many bouts of major transmission issues and it seems to fly under the radar because the boomers that buy them don't do any research, they just remember the rock solid reliable Hondas from the 90's and early 2000's.

It always seems like the engineers get together and ask “How can we make this harder to repair?” The most ridiculous thing I’ve seen is that on some of their cars, you have to pull off the entire front bumper cover to change a headlight bulb. 5 second job turned into an hour job 😂😂😂😂

I have a Cadillac ATS that is like that. You are supposed to remove the bumper to replace the headlights, but there is a trick way to change the headlights that is a easier by taking off the tire and removing the housing around the tire to get to the headlights. Its easier, but still a pain in the butt. There are videos on KZbin that show how to do it.

Hi, excelente 360 cameras. About the break systems they suggest to unplug sensors or pieces to disable breaks. The problem that I had it’s after some dealer did that to change the sensor he broke the connector while connecting again. If the connector cracks you have to buy an expensive part because connectors are weak. So agree with you don’t touch sensors or connectors. Also great that after soap and oil you walk on the truck bed without problem, take care Dustin great video.

For what they cost these modern vehicles are not very robust. If you fill the tank too full you can damage the emission control system. If you run the tank too low you risk overheating the fuel pump located in the tank. If you avoid those problems the fuel pump control module can at random decide to quick working. On top of that are the horrible stop / start and active fuel management systems.

The only one so far that I haven't had any problems with. I maintain my car like a Porsche.

Just a tip for the Silverado and tahoes if you open then driver door and push the lock assembly in the door all the way up the car thinks it’s closed and you can leave it in neutral. Would just have to worry about the door swinging open

I don’t know why this video was so relaxing to watch. I don’t own any GM products currently but I won’t be so hard on them, every brand has its issues. In my experience, most foreign brands have the better reliability and that is troubling. I’ve wanted to purchase a domestic luxury full size SUV or truck for a while but all the issues and recalls concern me.

The GM dealership near my home has gotten those fancy roller skate things where you slide them around a wheel, push the bars together and the car essentially is on four skates. They were pretty proud of those, "With these we're able to maneuver vehicles in very tight spaces if they're not working'. I'm like, you are proud of the wrong stuff buddy. Me and my buddy got cars when we were doing a pretty sweet internship, in college. I got a $21k kia rio, 2022, used in 2023. He got a new $30k chevy SUV. Till Dec 2024, his car has been in the dealership thrice for water pumps, fuel pump and some issues with the brake system. Mine has been in dealer once, where the water pump actuator was dislodged because of a very nasty pothole, which surprisingly did not do any other damage to my car, wheels or the tires.

Interesting that you only bash GM in your videos. I noticed you also own a ford mustang as well. Definitely not a coincidence. GM is far from the worst I’d say in some cases they’re still great. I’ve owned and had experience with GM vehicles throughout my life, none have had to be towed or had major issues. As far as I’m concerned the only new truck to own is a 6.6 gas hd truck. The only truck you can get without cylinder deactivation, which isn’t limited to just GM btw, RAM uses it on their hd trucks and ford has had countless lifter failures on their Godzilla engines. Both GM and ford uses essentially the same 10 speeds in their hd trucks, which are decent transmissions.

Because GM is the only one that is regularly having recurring issues that make them die in potentially dangerous situations, have to be towed in, and can’t seem to come up with a fix. All of the big 3 American automakers have their issues, but GM is by far having the biggest issues. Everyone else is issuing recalls to get ahead of their known issues. GM just lets it become a problem, and deal with it when it gets towed in by throwing the same faulty parts in it.
@wesleygarrison6248
@wesleygarrison6248 7 күн бұрын
@ GM has had a few recalls as of late, but when certain automakers have had to have recalls for countless engine failures, you have to ask yourself why are these problems arising in the first place? A simple fuel pump module is one thing, especially compared to other brands with powertrain failure. Also, GM sells the most trucks out of any manufacturer in the U.S., so if you’re going to get a few hiccups, that’s where you’ll find them.

The day my friends GMC terrain with all of 800+ miles the engine light came on and soon thereafter every other light did. That was it. Oh and don't get me started on the 3.6 oil dilution motors.

You can even jump start some of the GM caddilac SUV well as the computer don’t seem to cope with boosters or even normal jumping. While a Toyota and most other cars can cope, even with the push button types. On thing that seemed to start them was the AAA vehicle massive charging cables. Always use a battery maintainer with those vehicles or you’re screwed.
