It’s been some time now since GM made a crappy vehicle.

My 2002 union-built S-10 pick-up truck is one such crappy vehicle. A defective exhaust valve in the engine blew out after 35,000 miles, the ABS systenm has been troublesome from the start, and the dealership had to pull the engine (still under warranty) to just change the oil pan gasket.

Yeah, I'd say that this is pretty crappy engineering and quality control.

They make average quality vehicles, or slightly below average quality vehicles.

They charge more than average prices for them.

While there are some exceptions, GM vehicles just aren't a very good value for the money. There sales are as good as they are because of brand loyalty, and people who believe strongly in buying from an American car company.
