Only Gm product I have owned was a truck. The engine was powerful. Interior was absolutely horrific. Knobs paint flaked off inside on 30k Miles. Door handles fell off, tailgate handle broke every other week.Transmission was rebuilt twice before the engine died. Truck had 145k and blew head gasket.

I am writing this in early September 2023. GM along with the other members of the big three are on the verge of a strike. I saw they were asking for what seemed like a huge raise until I found out the the starting wage of the people in this video is 16.67 an hour when fast food pays very close to the same. The average assembly worker make 18. It’s ridiculous! Support the UAW!!!!
in my work, company would supply very nice variety colors of T, polo and regular shirts with company logo on it . and wearing pants and work shoes were mandatory . professional work should come with profession looks .
They got these people dressed like they in kind at the grocery store lol. Maybe a bit of uniformity would go a long way and it could make this place and people look a lot more professional for the video. Especially if they knew they were gonna be on tv today lol
The spot welders are throwing sparks. They have a program for that it was called medar preheat then weld in a split second. It was a used because galvanized metal really throws sparks
Sadly, Amazon is paying higher wages for new hires than General Motors. Same people claiming that union members who make $12/hour are overpaid but when Amazon workers make $15/hour to start, they claim it’s a fair and just wage.
@@drofdoctors7887 I was referencing new hires, not the seasoned veterans of GM since that would be an unfair comparison since Amazon is a much younger company. Both are run by left wing lunatics don’t get me wrong.
If GM had some foresight and didn’t stubbornly refuse to change along with the times they would’ve been a force to be reckoned with. Remember, they had the EV 1, which was ahead of its time and the lessees ( you couldn’t’t buy one, you had to lease one ) loved those cars so much some went to court to try and buy them when the leases were up. Except for some cars that were donated to schools the rest were destroyed. I bet the engineers who worked on the EV 1’s look at Tesla and get sick.
They chose to try an use their old frames an alot of older stuff to build the same quality an keep them simple to be repaired unlike others who changed their products an designs so much that they created other issues. This brand does need a change an it is time for them to retool an ad some new flare to this brand. An I believe they can do it. Not sure what it will take but I am sure they can. I love all cars an these share alot of parts from their older models up until 2008 I think an newer . So it's nice when u have a wrecked one an you can find one in a salvage yard. That doesnt have like 20 different types to prevent direct bolt up stuff from your previous year models.
EV1 was ahead of its time .. because a low cost LONG Life battery tech didn't exist back then. Competing against low cost Gasoline is hard, a vehicle like the Electrovette or EV1 couldn't compete ... even today the current long life Lithium battery powered EVs are much more expensive than the average ICE vehicle .. and that isn't going to change for a long time.
Preach it brother~ they just don't get it. Many GM cars from Chevy & Buick have come out with big V8 engines & sold like crazy. Now they want to put their boring 3.6 L engine in EVERYTHING & wonder why no one wants their cars.
I guarantee you never heard the words "panel gaps" before. Funny. I have started looking at panel gaps on all cars. GM has some of the worst I've seen. It's ok though, GM will be bankrupt and out of business in a few years anyway, courtesy of tesla. Bye Bye, GM, don't let the door hit you in your garbage on the way out, lmfao.
@@frunkytowntesla Clearly blind person. As a shareholder, the more blind fanboys bending over for tesla, the better. Regardless I do plan on trading in my Acura for Tesla...that is once they get QC in the works vs the trash they put out right now. Great tech, just awful finish and I like my finish to be as good as the Japanese. I've been in GM cars that exceeded Tesla QC.
To think that people did all of this difficult/back breaking, and dangerous work many years ago. Now automation has helped save lives/increased production. There will always be the need for humans no matter how much you automate this system. Someone has to keep an eye on the crazy robots to ensure they don't get any funny ideas about taking over the world. 😉🤣
Too bad they stopped making the impala. Damn good cars. My 2011 Oshawa W body has been very well to me. Thing runs great at 200,000 miles. GM is changing and getting places quicker. Hope them well in the years to come as they learn to better themselves. The new T1XX Trucks/SUVS and the C8 corvette are a testament to change in my personal opinion
They sure are. While they did do away with the solid rear diff and the column shifter they are still solid trucks in their new form. The PPV model is loaded with new high tech features including a stop from five miles and hour. You can't be no greater than five miles an hour when attempting a automated stop.
There really isn't that much of a dress code. Sometimes it depends on where on the line you work. Some places you can wear shorts and other places you need full length pants.

@@branon6565 Yes indeed most people need a job, for sure. So tell that to your union, you know the group that is directly responsible for forcing American jobs to Mexico and China as a result of their absurd demands.

GM should close the plants in China & Mexico as poor quality control & tariffs. The Cruze (Mexico), Malibu (Mexico), Spark (China & Korea), Equinox (Mexico) & Trax (China & Korea) have so many problems with the transmissions, poor paint jobs etc. US & Canada plants are the best ones.
No Dr sysop is bad enough american worker want 35 dollars and hr is why car here in america are more expensive than foreign cars .and always breaking down bad transmission motor etc.
Mary Barra is doing what so many weak CEO’s before her at GM would not do, turn the beached whale into a battleship, cutting underperforming models/brands, developing the tech to make aqua laity and financial progress. She is preparing GM to succeed now, and to be here and thriving twenty years from now.
John Elegant ...no she is not, she says she wants to do away with gasoline powered vehicles when there are literally hundreds of thousands of driving age legal US citizens who REFUSE to own any electric vehicle, me included, she's done away with the manual transmission in 3/4 ton and lighter trucks, which is a complete joke, and besides, she's not even a born US citizen...I've owned two Garbage Motors manufactured vehicles and I will never own another one, ever, as they were horrid, worthless rigs..now I own 4 Fords and that's all I'll ever own...of course, if it was to come down to having to choose between a GM or any Asian manufacturer, I'd definitely choose GM....🤷🏻♂️
You can see the electric version of the Silverado with a USB port @11:34: correction 2 USB ports. Latest word from GM was that you not charge vehicles inside your house nor unattended. So, stare at your vehicle charging for 8 hours at the end of your driveway. This is considered a SOLUTION by GM and shows you how fucking ridiculous their management is.
You want to know the actual reason? Market research. It's what "the majority" of consumers want. The average consumer wants one of 3 colors, black, white, and silver. It's a shame you can't get them made in any color you want anymore.
@@JoePro there are custom builds where you can choose your specs yourself.the cars that they make are actually entirely random and or requested from dealers :)
If someone has a good experience in the old GM cars I have a question : Can I install the nice steel gas tank of the 1990 Caprice or Fleetwood for 1992 Caprice without problems ? Instead of the useless original Polyethylene plastic fuel tank ?
Some other factories employees are in some type of identifying outfit ……they look happier than this bunch……they appear to care and go the extra mile to produce a fine automobile, more pride …….before long the US products will outprice themselves…….and plants will close……
David Little ....I hate Garbage Motors, but any legal US citizen who would support foreign auto manufacturers by purchasing their Asian built junk is a garbage human being, just an absolute dirtbag...
@@drofdoctors7887 lol true, they still junk thou, I owned very many used ones low miles and even new ones with only 3k miles and GM denies to fix it, they are pretty good at washing their hands off if it’s covered by warranty but if i am paying for it then $7500 tranny rebuild estimate comes out really fast ! Trust me I owned more than 10, I owned a used pre-owned auto dealership, me and my dad are auto mechanics I know what i am talking about!! Even the 2019 and 2020 are terrible, we owned 3 2019 and a 2020 and all 3 had shuttering and vibration issues, I had my local GM dealer inspected them and they said thats normal! LOL it is what it is
@@JS-xk6dr you're just another one of those dummies that try to compare a low dollar GM car that's been abused to a higher grade foreign car that hasn't... it's einsteins like you that think they have it all figured, that screw themselves when it comes to buying a used car. HAVE A MECHANIC CHECK IT OUT 1ST... because obviously you aren't mechanically inclined at all🙄🤪👈
I have a 1991 Chevy Camaro V6 Rally Sport. I've had it for several years now and dispite everyone knocking it for it's dilapidated nature and V6 drivetrain, it still gets comments from car fans. Sure it's not a V8 but Its still a fun driving sports coupe. I'm not your typical car guy, I'm actually a automotive industry and engineering enthusiast and I'm not entirely bothered by shallow car nut views. They relent on my views and I just shrug my shoulders and carry on. now recently mice got into the car and chewed the harness to bits and damaged some components around the car as it sat over the winter.. something in the wiring that attracts rodents and the loss of seam sealer made room for some surface rust to have way of it's front floor panel.. But instead of giving up and selling the car I've chosen to keep it, slowly restoring it to a better state than it was in when I first got it. Eventually it'll be done an I'll have my immediate family sign the car in a chrome Molotov pen as a final touch to be added beneath the clear coat on the corner of the rear deck lid.
I don´t see any problem with these cars, seem powerful, strong, confortable. If you americans call your cars junk, I don´t want to know what do you would call the GM cars made in Brazil.
Jr cc You don't see any problems with GM vehicles?! Lol Just drive one for about 35k-40k miles and you'll start to see things break, fall apart on you. Why do you think all GM vehicles have only 35k mile warranties?! I've seen Chevys like the Cruze, Equinox engines blow at only 80k miles😂😂
@@robbyrob8349 I meant GM America. GM Brazil is called chevrolet, is very popular car bramd here. But, our cars is totally different from yours. Our cars have less power (165 hp, most powerful), while yours are over 200, 300 hp. By the way, the North America GM looks well made because it have a nice interior, most power, and also more safe (compared with GM Brazil). Our new GM car are crap, a car called "Chevrolet Onix" catches fire even when it was parked. And the worse part is that it is very expensive
Yeah i remember looking into american industry alot people working back when they start it.. now this days i see more robots them people buying cars.. and U.S still have alot cars in the junk yards and somewhere getting rustyyy or just in the garage with there covers.. but i do see my truck been built

@@ShadowBannedagain okay... you're foolish. You need to have someone do research & read it to you before making stupid comments about something you know nothing about😆😁
My only question is why GM takes a long time to fix the design then trashed it in two years? Examples, 2017-18 Camaro, and 2016-17 Equinox. I own a 2020 Silverado!
They're actually pretty good. They purposely fail and sucks up the check ball on the one of the check valves. Which can be fixed to be bulletproof. And alot of people don't completely stop when switch through the reverse band. I hate gm because they build shitty cars on purpose.
@RxBST broken from the factory yes, but $35 and maybe 10 hours of your time, I promise a bulletproof transmission if used correctly and your band don't break. Then at that point your just an idiot
Every Garbage Motors manufactured vehicle since the very first one started leaking oil, exhaust, and the motor started missin, that's been pushed off of the assembly line, has been absolute junk....
GM. What’s the story on the 8 speed transmission? Has it been fixed? What exactly was/is the problem? And it can’t just be the oil. They’ve been making good automatic transmissions for many years, so why is this one have so many complaints?.... I literally grew up in GM dealerships, and I’m driving a 2004 pickup that’ll probably exceed 250-300K, but until you stop selling those transmissions or come clean about the root cause and what you’ve done to completely eliminate the problems I’ll never buy another GM vehicle.

Can someone tell me what subsystem LOC
i could not ever do this if my life depended on it.my hats off to those who do it.
I did it for 28 years, great pay and benefits, right out of high school, retired at 48
Glad i bought an F150 !
Funny
So they build the car/truck around the engine and trans instead of putting the engine and trans in the car/truck
If I’m not mistaken this is called a unibody production style

How do I work at this factory in the United States of America
No es facil. Hay mucha gente aplicando. It's not easy. There are lots of people applying for those jobs.
Very good
Too bad you need to take out a second mortgage to buy a new truck these days.
It's a game.
The rear wheelwells are already starting to rust...
Mary Barra is doing what so many weak CEO’s before her at GM would not do, turn the beached whale into a battleship, cutting underperforming models/brands, developing the tech to make aqua laity and financial progress. She is preparing GM to succeed now, and to be here and thriving twenty years from now.
John Elegant ...no she is not, she says she wants to do away with gasoline powered vehicles when there are literally hundreds of thousands of driving age legal US citizens who REFUSE to own any electric vehicle, me included, she's done away with the manual transmission in 3/4 ton and lighter trucks, which is a complete joke, and besides, she's not even a born US citizen...I've owned two Garbage Motors manufactured vehicles and I will never own another one, ever, as they were horrid, worthless rigs..now I own 4 Fords and that's all I'll ever own...of course, if it was to come down to having to choose between a GM or any Asian manufacturer, I'd definitely choose GM....🤷🏻♂️
You can see the electric version of the Silverado with a USB port @11:34: correction 2 USB ports. Latest word from GM was that you not charge vehicles inside your house nor unattended. So, stare at your vehicle charging for 8 hours at the end of your driveway. This is considered a SOLUTION by GM and shows you how fucking ridiculous their management is.
Lol
Bring back the Impala
In my guess,it could return as a luxurious electric car when GM uses ev technology.

why? impalas were junk along with everything else GM builds
I worked at GM in São Caetano , Brazil
Why does chevy put the same 5 colors on all their cars?
You want to know the actual reason? Market research. It's what "the majority" of consumers want. The average consumer wants one of 3 colors, black, white, and silver. It's a shame you can't get them made in any color you want anymore.
It's what is popular these days.you can request a custom build if you wanted a unique color👍
@@JoePro there are custom builds where you can choose your specs yourself.the cars that they make are actually entirely random and or requested from dealers :)
If someone has a good experience in the old GM cars I have a question :
Can I install the nice steel gas tank of the 1990 Caprice or Fleetwood for 1992 Caprice without problems ? Instead of the useless original Polyethylene plastic fuel tank ?
The plastic tanks help in crash test. The metals burst an also rust ! It's better for longevity of parts an in collision.
Some other factories employees are in some type of identifying outfit ……they look happier than this bunch……they appear to care and go the extra mile to produce a fine automobile, more pride …….before long the US products will outprice themselves…….and plants will close……
GM ,I don't know about anymore,I'd Rather have a Kia or a Toyota,at least they still make cars ,at least they can sell both cars and SUVs
David Little ....I hate Garbage Motors, but any legal US citizen who would support foreign auto manufacturers by purchasing their Asian built junk is a garbage human being, just an absolute dirtbag...
Make a transmission that doesn’t shit out after 70k miles. That’d be a start.
100% transmission problems!! Nothing but junk, 2014 and up
@@JS-xk6dr can't run it out of fluid einstein. Check it once in a blue moon🙄🙄
@@drofdoctors7887 lol true, they still junk thou, I owned very many used ones low miles and even new ones with only 3k miles and GM denies to fix it, they are pretty good at washing their hands off if it’s covered by warranty but if i am paying for it then $7500 tranny rebuild estimate comes out really fast ! Trust me I owned more than 10, I owned a used pre-owned auto dealership, me and my dad are auto mechanics I know what i am talking about!! Even the 2019 and 2020 are terrible, we owned 3 2019 and a 2020 and all 3 had shuttering and vibration issues, I had my local GM dealer inspected them and they said thats normal! LOL it is what it is
@@JS-xk6dr you're just another one of those dummies that try to compare a low dollar GM car that's been abused to a higher grade foreign car that hasn't... it's einsteins like you that think they have it all figured, that screw themselves when it comes to buying a used car. HAVE A MECHANIC CHECK IT OUT 1ST... because obviously you aren't mechanically inclined at all🙄🤪👈

I have a 1991 Chevy Camaro V6 Rally Sport. I've had it for several years now and dispite everyone knocking it for it's dilapidated nature and V6 drivetrain, it still gets comments from car fans. Sure it's not a V8 but Its still a fun driving sports coupe. I'm not your typical car guy, I'm actually a automotive industry and engineering enthusiast and I'm not entirely bothered by shallow car nut views.
They relent on my views and I just shrug my shoulders and carry on. now recently mice got into the car and chewed the harness to bits and damaged some components around the car as it sat over the winter.. something in the wiring that attracts rodents and the loss of seam sealer made room for some surface rust to have way of it's front floor panel..
But instead of giving up and selling the car I've chosen to keep it, slowly restoring it to a better state than it was in when I first got it.
Eventually it'll be done an I'll have my immediate family sign the car in a chrome Molotov pen as a final touch to be added beneath the clear coat on the corner of the rear deck lid.
US always has our cute African women as the face of vehicle manufacturing videos in RUclips
Kalo saja bangsaku seperti ini mobil akan kuberi nama kartini.
I don´t see any problem with these cars, seem powerful, strong, confortable. If you americans call your cars junk, I don´t want to know what do you would call the GM cars made in Brazil.
Jr cc You don't see any problems with GM vehicles?! Lol Just drive one for about 35k-40k miles and you'll start to see things break, fall apart on you. Why do you think all GM vehicles have only 35k mile warranties?! I've seen Chevys like the Cruze, Equinox engines blow at only 80k miles😂😂
@@robbyrob8349 I meant GM America. GM Brazil is called chevrolet, is very popular car bramd here. But, our cars is totally different from yours. Our cars have less power (165 hp, most powerful), while yours are over 200, 300 hp. By the way, the North America GM looks well made because it have a nice interior, most power, and also more safe (compared with GM Brazil). Our new GM car are crap, a car called "Chevrolet Onix" catches fire even when it was parked. And the worse part is that it is very expensive
Last Chevrolet truck I bought got 8 MPG 1974 c-10
Yeah i remember looking into american industry alot people working back when they start it.. now this days i see more robots them people buying cars.. and U.S still have alot cars in the junk yards and somewhere getting rustyyy or just in the garage with there covers.. but i do see my truck been built
Now show a Honda Nissan or Toyota factory. Much cleaner and precise operation.
Who do you think GM based their factories off of? Toyota actually designed almost all modern factory practices for auto manufacturers.
General Motors was manufacturing automobiles be4 "Toy ass ota" was even thought of... dummies👈😁
The General has the most advanced assembly plants, foundries, stamping facilities, engine production facilities & powertrain production facilities in the world, Einsteins😁
@@ShadowBannedagain okay... you're foolish. You need to have someone do research & read it to you before making stupid comments about something you know nothing about😆😁
My only question is why GM takes a long time to fix the design then trashed it in two years? Examples, 2017-18 Camaro, and 2016-17 Equinox. I own a 2020 Silverado!
I love them using Aluminum for doors and hook. But the wheel wells need the Aluminum the most due to rusting. Please make the change in the future
Believe it or not this is my DREAM job but I got a felony so it's over.
The Tahoe burns oil from the factory and considered normal, junk
When you set the bar low - everything is considered 'normal'
Get rid of the robots and get our country together again the old and only way, American made
Sounds like the Terminator 2 soundtrack 4:28
Your transmissions are JUNK!!!!!!! SPECIALLY ON THE YUKON, SILVERADO, TAHOE ESCALADE, etc !!!
They're actually pretty good. They purposely fail and sucks up the check ball on the one of the check valves. Which can be fixed to be bulletproof. And alot of people don't completely stop when switch through the reverse band. I hate gm because they build shitty cars on purpose.
@RxBST broken from the factory yes, but $35 and maybe 10 hours of your time, I promise a bulletproof transmission if used correctly and your band don't break. Then at that point your just an idiot
I'm a gm guy but how come tailgate are up side down
I have a company car it's a Toyota Corolla it just hit. 206000 miles never a headache
I bought a Chevrolet Captiva, the manufacturer had a defect
Every Garbage Motors manufactured vehicle since the very first one started leaking oil, exhaust, and the motor started missin, that's been pushed off of the assembly line, has been absolute junk....
Workers only do simplistic tasks now. Robots actually BUILD the vehicles.
Why did you have history footage of old Pontiac and the jumping around you don't know what you are looking at??? bad edits too.
I make the primer for Gm
I don't want an electric vehicle or a self driving vehicle.
I don't care about zero emissions.
I WILL NOT buy one.
sry i am not watching basically a commercial for a company with ten zillion ads in between it
Ys naim..
too many ads
GM. What’s the story on the 8 speed transmission? Has it been fixed? What exactly was/is the problem? And it can’t just be the oil. They’ve been making good automatic transmissions for many years, so why is this one have so many complaints?.... I literally grew up in GM dealerships, and I’m driving a 2004 pickup that’ll probably exceed 250-300K, but until you stop selling those transmissions or come clean about the root cause and what you’ve done to completely eliminate the problems I’ll never buy another GM vehicle.
Dems claim that people just gave it away. Thanks, dems. /end sarcasm
They checkin the doors & tailgate... not checkin that trans that's gonna shit out right after the warranty is out!!
What a mess this video is, it could very nice and interesting if it was edited properly , but some knucklehead decided this was good enough....
