General Motors Corp (GM)

It is TRULY a miracle that thousands of cars don't have major malfunctions causing many deaths everyday. I was a quality professional for many years and what I saw scared me terribly.

The problem with GM and all other manufacturers (especially domestic) is all the way through the supply chain. Money rules, lives do not matter until they are your own. I watched defective airbags being manufactured and put into modules during the 90's at a GM supplier in Dayton Ohio, by reporting it I was forced to resign. These drivers side airbags (DSIR) could BLOW off the steering wheel potentially killing the driver.

I observed severely defective stampings made at another GM supplier in Dayton Ohio for steering and braking components to be installed into GM automobiles & trucks, again NOTHING was done.

The final straw was fuel filler systems made for Ford, GM, Dodge, Mercedes, and Honda at a tier one supplier in Wilmington Ohio, the JUNK that came from this plant was almost unreal. Thousands and thousands of ticking time bombs.
The fuel filler necks would split, the "flame arresters" didn't arrest anything, in fact I watched them BLOW up in testing while a FORD engineer insisted that I sign off on the design and testing as "acceptable". I refused and was fired for a fabricated reason several weeks later. The supply chain for the AMERICAN automobile industry is a deadly JOKE. I will drive my old LandCruiser that gets 14 MPG (with the wind at my back) until I have to buy another
