and even if they do get hit with lawsuits, they will just throw a bunch of money at those people that the government gave to them and they will just continue putting out vehicles with abysmal quality.
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 flowed 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.
@@rkgsdmy father-in-law drive Cadillacs his entire life . He had problems with them , but he talked like they were the greatest thing since sliced bread .
I honestly think most just Lease them (which is buying them I know) for X amount of months an boom! We get a 'Used' car for just about the same price as a (New) car!
@@flacarpetracer I leased a 2021 for the wife so I guess I'm dumb 😂 Couldn't beat the lease deal at the time during Covid - Never had any issues while we had it.
There's a reason they used to flaunt their "Voted best in initial quality"... Yeah, looks great on the lot (initially). Once you drive it, it all goes to hell...
My dad bought a 1999 Olds Intrigue brand new off the lot. He did all the regular maintenance, kept it in the garage, treated the car really well. At 50,000 miles, the engine failed. That was the last GM he ever owned and I would never buy one or even have one as a rental
As a mechanic, the whole notion of being able to get into park doesn’t surprise me. I’ve always hated working on most GM vehicles. 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 UA-cam that show how to do it.
2024 GM Pickup needing to be towed from your driveway. How embarrassing. The owner is probably going to be avoiding eye contact with his neighbors for a while,
I just dont like the engines anymore from Chevy/GM. That cylinder deactivation 'feature' is destructive. Yes yes, I know you can turn it off in the computer or replace the cams. I just think that the quest to 'save' fuel has gone to far anymore.
Im a GM guy at my roots, however... I own a 2014 F150 and a 2007 accord. I plan to "upgrade" never. Everything sucks now!..... EVERYTHING is not reliable, what a time to be alive.
Mazda and Hyundai seem to be the only ones stepping up their game these days. I'm a GM and Toyota person myself, but I wouldn't buy a new car from either one of them.
Heck idk if there is any reliable ke product in the market now a days. Heck, even toyota and honda which use to be the most reliables are joining the junk piles as unreliable with engine issues and cut tranny issues.🤦♂️
Those Insta cameras seem to work pretty well. I'm so glad I quit towing 15 years ago, this newer garbage is infuriating. Something as simple as being able to put a vehicle in neutral... You'd think automotive engineers hate tow truck drivers.
Dustin the video is real sharp , great detail. 👍👍 Can’t believe GM hasn’t addressed the towing issues with there vehicles. Especially where the new ones seem to need to be towed not long after they drive off the lot! Not to mention what they get for the vehicles. Wow! It is sickening! Nice video 👍
GM was rescued from bankruptcy in 2009 in part because the auto industry is the only major industry America has left and they have over 150,000 employees. It's looking more and more like GM hasn't learned from their mistakes.
Government Motors should be giving these away. They used TAX PAYER dollars for keeping them going. Used to be a Chevy person. I gave up then. Alas, anymore about all the trucks and cars are junk from day 1 and for sure half way thru payments.
Dustin wears many Hats, Tow truck man, entertainer, production crew, camera man, tech man, video editor, products reviewer, customer service representative and 4x4 and race enthusiast. Did i leave anything out? 😂😂
Really like the variety of angles .. it's closer to what you see while out and about .. thanks! As another benefit of your channel, I know which vehicle brands to avoid. 🤣
i’m sure all the neighbors gossiping their pickup is getting reposed .. my vehicle had to get towed to the dealership a few years ago, one of the neighbor ladies walked up to me a few days after it was towed, placed her hand on my arm and said “we are all so sorry your truck was reposeded , if there’s any way we can help please let us know “….. needless to say i had dinner delivered to my house every night that week from the neighbors who assumed my rig was repossessed , when my truck was repaired and returned the following week they started asking questions.. it was then i informed them they shouldn’t make rediculous assumptions and thanked them for the weeks worth of free meals ..
New cameras are a great addition. Here's a thought on the soap solution to make it slide easier - if you spray the soap on the back side and the front and then move the vehicle up to get soap under the tire and spray more on the back side it might slide even easier. Thanks - I enjoy the videos and all of your professionalism.
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.
Love the new camera setup- It's the way pro UA-camrs are going it seems. Nice upgrade. As for the paperweights you tow, GM hasn't made a good motor since the days of the non-AFM Vortec 5.3L V8 and the 3800 V6. But hey, they keep you in business and provide great content 🙂
I can’t believe GM cars still have the fuel pump issue in 1981. My parents had a Cadillac Seville that had to fuel pump issue and it happened to it a lot. We were driving from Connecticut to New York one time the car broke down on the highway going to New York we had to take the Cadillac to a Cadillac dealer in New Haven, Connecticut, and have it fixed rent a car drive the rest of the rate to New York. we picked it up this Sunday as you were coming home from New York back to Connecticut.
Chrysler usually last several years and over well over 100,000 miles before issues come up, especially issues that make them fail/not start. * I am a former Toyota Tech/mechanic and the dealers sister station is a Chrysler dealer right next door,my brother still works there..I owned new Toyota and Chrysler products and the only one that had issues under 80,000 miles was the Toyota, a serious issue to,the engine failed common for certain Toyota products/piston rings(car always used oil from brand new bought it new with 3 miles on it. I had a few modern Chrysler products a RAM 1500 and Challenger RT both had over 180,000 miles and 240,000 miles on the truck,no issues with them. I know people who had/have new gm vehicles and they seem to have more of issues that others..
We're a GM family. My grandpa retired from them 25 years ago. He says they don't make em like they use to. I have a 2002 Chevy Blazer 4WD 4 door 4.3L. 180k. No issues besides regular maintenance. Don't plan on getting rid of it ever. Engine or transmission goes, easily get a rebuild or LS swap it.
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.
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.
On the Silverado is you simply disconnect the battery, wait a few minutes, reconnect the battery and it will start right up. This happened to my 2020, but only happened once and never happened again.
Spray a little brake clean under the rear tires on the deck when you can't get it in park. They'll slide like they're on ice, the brake clean will evaporate and leave no residue.
Last GM car, my Dad bought a 1980 Buick Skylark Limited - one of the infamous X cars - 'nuff said. Enjoy your videos. Cameras, info, humor, insight. Thanks!!😎👍
That's why I drive BMW. BMW has a screw you can tighten to get transmission into Neutral. I like GMCs but, gave it up 8 years ago.. Dealership couldn't fix a simple flapping from a rear door. I told them where it was coming from :(
It’s like the Big 3 are competing to see who can make the worst cars. I used to say they are only building them well enough to make it through a 36-month lease, but even that may be optimistic.
This truck rolls forward with a lever? That’s incredible! Drove a dinosaur of a flat bed years ago, a Chevy top kick with cat diesel.. wish it had that feature! This truck is amazing!
Great video. Neighbor just bought a brand new Cadi and towed the third day of ownership. Come on GM! Where's the quality control and quality assurance you guys brag about?!? Time to go Mary Barra (making almost $30 million per year)!!

look at all those cheaply made Texas track houses and there just a cheap driveways. I bet those aren't even 10 years old yet and already look a few decades. Same as the cars in build quality
I like my GM stuff but I think I'll stick to my older vehicles that don't have all this electronic garbage. All these newer cars from all makers are just overpriced recycle units. On another note, love the new camera views.
Like the new cameras. Wonder if you just drug it onto the bed, in gear, and GM would cover any damages to the drive line? Their designs, their expenses.
Thank you for the warnings about GM products. I was thinking of buying a new Tahoe but not anymore. Hopefully GM won't send a gangster after you. LOL...
Thats what I love about my dads old 74 corvette a block chevy no air-conditioning no power steering and no computers just horsepower. I like the new cameras
I worked at multiple GENERAL MOTORS plants throughout Michigan as a skilled trades contractor. The 💩I seen made me put down a law in my family. NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO DRIVE ANY GM VEHICLE ! Before you even get into the gate to enter the plant, you get a contact high from all the weed smoke rolling out of the employees car windows ! When inside, the arrogance of the staff was unbelievable. If you pointed out an OBVIOUS FUBAR filling down the line, it was just OH WELL ! Moreover, some of the staff could literally not read or write ! WTF ! How does a company pay almost $40 hr to a illiterate employee ?
I learned this lesson in 1982. My first vehicle new. 1982 transam. Absolutely a junk pile. Traded for a 84 silverado. 4 camshaft, 1 engine , 2 transmission later 70k miles i was able to get out of it. I bought a ford and it became a money pit . So I bought a Toyota that I put 300k on and never had to go back to dealership. I currently own a ram 2018 1500 2 door 4x4 , a camry, Tacoma a Volkswagen bettle 11 years old never back to dealership and a kenworth t680
@GregBeaulieu-c3t my neighbor bought a 2022 silverado 4 door v8. Beautiful truck. He is a construction foreman in Atlanta. In 2 years and 75k miles later he has 1 transmission, major electrical problems n fuel pressure problems. He is so upside down in the truck he cant get rid of it. I tried to tell him but he wouldn't listen. Ive loaned him my ram many times so he could get to job sight . Sad. Life lesson for him. Its got to really hurt.
As an automotive technician...it baffles me to no end why people buy either Ford, GM or god forbid, Chrysler vehicles. The quality IS NOT BUILT IN on any of the late model vehicles. Even Toyota is suffering from poor quality. That's why finding a Tundra with the 5.7L V-8 engine is almost like finding a unicorn. Because the new turbo V-6 engines are basically a rotating grenade. The only time i can think that getting a new vehicle is worth it, is if you LEASE it. That way, you won't face the inevitable break-downs and the ungodly repair bills. You can dump it when the lease is over.
GM can't keep the fuel pump running? Can't shift into Neutral? Expensive paperweights 😂 Wonder if you can just bypass the FP module with a simple jumper Power and Ground 🤔
Cool camera stuff. I know they’re not cheap. Also it’s obvious you know what you’re doing with the cameras. Too bad GM doesn’t no what they’re doing. And I really wanted another GMC 1500 Sierra Crew Cab. That’s all I drove from 1994 to 2023. Had 2 that ran perfect. A 5.7 & 5.3. No trouble with either one. 268k on 94 and 169k on a 08.
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.
Question, certain models are either Awd or rear wheel drive, how do you know when to put dollies on the front wheels when it's AWD or just let it roll when it's RWD? Does it say either its AWD or RWD when you run the VIN when you look it up?
Dustin it's the Fuel pump control module that these dealers keep replacing, most without even doing a diagnosis or investigation, which is why it's not getting corrected.
i’m sure all the neighbors gossiping their pickup is getting repossessed .. my vehicle had to get towed to the dealership a few years ago, one of the neighbor ladies walked up to me a few days after it was towed, placed her hand on my arm and said “we are all so sorry your truck was repossessed , if there’s any way we can help please let us know “….. needless to say i had dinner delivered to my house every night that week from the neighbors who assumed my rig was repossessed , when my truck was repaired and returned the following week they started asking questions.. it was then i informed them they shouldn’t make rediculous assumptions and thanked them for the weeks worth of free meals ..
One thing I have learned from your videos is not to buy any new GM products. I’m surprised that they aren’t being hit with a bunch of lawsuits.
You got that right junk
Recalls coming
Needs to be a Class Action lawsuit on these Failed Fuel pump modulators ....
and even if they do get hit with lawsuits, they will just throw a bunch of money at those people that the government gave to them and they will just continue putting out vehicles with abysmal quality.

Yes, because something that happened to one vehicle 25 years ago is an excellent indicator of what will happen to all their vehicles now.

I’d redo that driveway before spending $70k on a new POS GM
Much better with the 360 camera. Dustin ❤
I like my GM stuff but I think I'll stick to my older vehicles that don't have all this electronic garbage. All these newer cars from all makers are just overpriced recycle units. On another note, love the new camera views.
Like the new cameras.
Wonder if you just drug it onto the bed, in gear, and GM would cover any damages to the drive line? Their designs, their expenses.
Love love your new cameras!!! They are so much clearer and brighter!! On another note, GM has really gone down....very disappointing to hear that.
Dang, that truck's frame is flimsier than the one under the 'ol Marquis. I love the new cameras. GREAT VIDEO!
Wow gm is failing there production of vehicles!
Thank you for the warnings about GM products. I was thinking of buying a new Tahoe but not anymore. Hopefully GM won't send a gangster after you. LOL...
Thats what I love about my dads old 74 corvette a block chevy no air-conditioning no power steering and no computers just horsepower. I like the new cameras
Never thought about asking a tow truck driver what’s the best and worst vehicles for reliability. Now we know who the real experts are.
Seen you going into the neighborhood and told myself that you were gonna go pick up another gm for fuel pump lol
I worked at multiple GENERAL MOTORS plants throughout Michigan as a skilled trades contractor. The 💩I seen made me put down a law in my family. NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO DRIVE ANY GM VEHICLE ! Before you even get into the gate to enter the plant, you get a contact high from all the weed smoke rolling out of the employees car windows ! When inside, the arrogance of the staff was unbelievable. If you pointed out an OBVIOUS FUBAR filling down the line, it was just OH WELL ! Moreover, some of the staff could literally not read or write ! WTF ! How does a company pay almost $40 hr to a illiterate employee ?
That’s absolutely wild!
Looked like you had a film crew with you.
I learned this lesson in 1982. My first vehicle new. 1982 transam. Absolutely a junk pile. Traded for a 84 silverado. 4 camshaft, 1 engine , 2 transmission later 70k miles i was able to get out of it. I bought a ford and it became a money pit . So I bought a Toyota that I put 300k on and never had to go back to dealership. I currently own a ram 2018 1500 2 door 4x4 , a camry, Tacoma a Volkswagen bettle 11 years old never back to dealership and a kenworth t680
Dude, that was 40 years ago.
@GregBeaulieu-c3t my neighbor bought a 2022 silverado 4 door v8. Beautiful truck. He is a construction foreman in Atlanta. In 2 years and 75k miles later he has 1 transmission, major electrical problems n fuel pressure problems. He is so upside down in the truck he cant get rid of it. I tried to tell him but he wouldn't listen. Ive loaned him my ram many times so he could get to job sight . Sad. Life lesson for him. Its got to really hurt.
General Motors and Stellantis combined are making unreliable vehicles, Great video by the way.
Don't forget Ford, they have gone to hell too.
@@jimmygarlon750they all have but Ford is more reliable than the other 2
@@AJ12-76Just wait until you need a new water pump on a 3.5 Ecoboost!
@ the 3.5 ecoboost in the trucks has an external water pump
I don't know how useful they are, but seems like wheel skates would come in handy.
The new cameras and setup are great. Good job
As an automotive technician...it baffles me to no end why people buy either Ford, GM or god forbid, Chrysler vehicles. The quality IS NOT BUILT IN on any of the late model vehicles. Even Toyota is suffering from poor quality. That's why finding a Tundra with the 5.7L V-8 engine is almost like finding a unicorn. Because the new turbo V-6 engines are basically a rotating grenade.
The only time i can think that getting a new vehicle is worth it, is if you LEASE it. That way, you won't face the inevitable break-downs and the ungodly repair bills. You can dump it when the lease is over.
Love the new cameras
Good!
GREAT new camera views!!! Much improved and enjoyed Dustin.
GM can't keep the fuel pump running? Can't shift into Neutral? Expensive paperweights 😂
Wonder if you can just bypass the FP module with a simple jumper Power and Ground 🤔
I love the camera updates.😊😊
Had a GM Impala got tired of see that "Check Engine " coming on all the time so I bought a Honda HRV Sport,
Cool camera stuff. I know they’re not cheap. Also it’s obvious you know what you’re doing with the cameras. Too bad GM doesn’t no what they’re doing. And I really wanted another GMC 1500 Sierra Crew Cab. That’s all I drove from 1994 to 2023. Had 2 that ran perfect. A 5.7 & 5.3. No trouble with either one. 268k on 94 and 169k on a 08.
Awesome camera angles Dustin. Great video!
Love the 360 cameras! Really like your camera setup and the excellent content. Keep up the great job!
great video like the new angles
Thank you Dustin, really like the new cameras! ❤
Thank You! Glad you liked them!
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.
I like the new cameras...
I love the new cameras. It’s like we are all sitting in your passenger seat.
Question, certain models are either Awd or rear wheel drive, how do you know when to put dollies on the front wheels when it's AWD or just let it roll when it's RWD? Does it say either its AWD or RWD when you run the VIN when you look it up?
Like the new camera angles.
Dustin it's the Fuel pump control module that these dealers keep replacing, most without even doing a diagnosis or investigation, which is why it's not getting corrected.
Yep. I’ve said the same thing thing throughout this whole video and all my others on the topic as well
Gopro at night is pretty bad. I had one as a dashcam, if you set it to fixed 1/100 shutter it looks better.
That was the main reason I switched to insta. Way better low light video
This GM fuel pump module issue. Is it a issue on the 3500 diesel trucks?
I know you would never do this for obvious reasons but would a scan tool help to release the E brake?
The parking brake wasn’t an issue. The transmission won’t shift to neutral unless the engine is running.
CINEMATOGRAPHER Dustin👍 Liked, shared.
Insta360 cams are dope! 👍
i’m sure all the neighbors gossiping their pickup is getting repossessed .. my vehicle had to get towed to the dealership a few years ago, one of the neighbor ladies walked up to me a few days after it was towed, placed her hand on my arm and said “we are all so sorry your truck was repossessed , if there’s any way we can help please let us know “…..
needless to say i had dinner delivered to my house every night that week from the neighbors who assumed my rig was repossessed , when my truck was repaired and returned the following week they started asking questions.. it was then i informed them they shouldn’t make rediculous assumptions and thanked them for the weeks worth of free meals ..
Love the swiveling cameras
GM is still a LONG way from dethroning the "king" of recalls..........FORD!!
Yeah ok boomer
WOW...I've never seen a worse driveway than that one! Absolutely NO rebar in that concrete at all. That's pathetic!
Love cameras Dustin!!
