GM's are repairable. The insane engineering decisions Ford has been making are negativity impacting the repairability of their vehicles and their quality issues are well documented.

In fact, bad news:

Ford has 153 recalls in 2025 alone, and they're going to use AI to fix it! Yay?

I've probably owned more imports than domestics, they've all got their quirks. My 89 GMC had manual windows and an ice cold AC and to this day remains the vehicle that gave me the least trouble out of all of them throughout the years because it was so easy to work on. I regret selling it sometimes.

GM is having to recall over a million trucks for new motors, and already the replacement motors are breaking.

Ford's 2025 recalls affected 13 million vehicles. One year.
