I wouldn't necessarily toss his claim out the window. 50 repairs needed on a new vehicle is very rare, but not unheard of. In 1970, Consumer Reports once set an all-time record for finding 52 actual repairable defects in a new vehicle....a 1970 Plymouth Satellite (their mid-sized passenger car at the time). And that did not even count the cosmetic flaws in the paint. I don't have that old article where I can copy/post it, but I do distinctly remember the article and what it said.....I was reviewing vehicles back then, too, even as a teen-ager.

And it's not surprising that a 1970 Plymouth holds the all-time CR defect-record. Many Chrysler products, back then, had quality control that, in comparison, would make the later Yugo look good LOL.

I also remember, as a teenager, in a local Dodge showroom, right around that same time (1969/1970), sitting in a new Polara (one of their full-size sedans), sampling the front pull-down arm rest, and the whole arm-rest assembly simply fell right out of the hole in the bench seatback and dropped down on the floor. I picked it up, took it over to the sales manager, handed it to him, and his face turned red as a beet with embarrassment.

For sure. I am sure the dealer has a record of these issues and complaints or fixes. I hope the news org did their due diligence to check the receipts and claims. 50+ sounds unheard of in this day and age. If it’s all warranty, I hope GM steps up. I am sure they have in the past.

It all depends on what the issues are. If I add up everything I have brought to the dealer's attention since I've had my Pacifica, I bet its 30 things. How many of those things are MAJOR? I would say 4.
