In cases when a manufacturer cannot provide that piece of mind then your OWED some explanation of what will be done in lieu of it. Not vague "we got it taken care of" but something that will convince me NOT to get rid of the car because of potential issues and NEVER buy another GM product again.

I don't really know how you expect GM to give you a piece of mind other than a 100K mile warranty??
Why would they warranty their work for so long if they didn't believe it would work? Why do other foreign manufacterers warranty their work for much less?
In a mass produced environment with many outside producers of parts, there are bound to be hiccups. Do you think you are OWED daily briefings from the Oshawa plant for any potential problems that may arise? How about weekly briefings?
I make ridiculous statements because I think some of these responses are ridiculous. Of course I want a car that I paid 30-40K for to perform as designed, advertised, and priced. However, I'm not going to take a torch and start burning down GM because they didn't release a VIN range less than a week of the issue being discovered.
Take a step back and realize how ridiculous some of this sounds.
We need more of this -
