Please allow me to suggest engineering fixes: 1. All vehicles with 12v starter batteries should also have deep cycle batteries to power the accessories. Chevy Suburbans had that for decades, but some people laughed at vehicles designed to actually run and drive. That's fine. Enjoy the vehicle you picked. 2. It's my car darn it. Any and all communication with it needs to be easily read by my in plain English. I also need to be able to veto any communication, in an easy-to-use, plain English system. This second option would require legislation. The new law should apply to everything made. If the owner is also the operator, then the owner can read and veto all communications. 3. In the interest of national security, all products made must have a minimum of reliance on the outside world. Those connections that do exist must be as standard as possible. Once against, this requires legislation.Any device that refuses to operate without an Internet connection should be illegal. Phone-home DRam should be illegal. We get what we deserve. The only downside to my ancient pickup truck is that I have to clean the hybrids out of the wheel wells about twice a month.

We had an older gmc, and it was great. A newer one came from the factory with a bug that would zero the battery in under eight hours sometimes (it left the ABS on). This happened on the first tank of gas. The local chevy dealer refused to fix it and claimed our warranty was void at ~ 125 miles because the dealer we bought it from new had installed some counterfeit electrical components. (There was a factory recall for our exact problem) That was the least of that truck’s problems. Never buying a GM product again. Also, the old v8 GMC had a carburetor, but still had better fuel economy than the new v8 GMC with fuel injection and that turned off half the cylinders when possible. Our Ram is slightly better, but still pretty damn bad vs the old GMC. I’d recommend any other brand over GM or Stellantis at this point.
