When I had my 2010 V6 I was paranoid about the timing chain, now I'm paranoid about the oil pump in my LS3... Ugh.
+1 - Obviously the deeper issue and one GM doesn't seem to want to address, at least with this owner. Modern vehicles are complicated, and it's amazing that as many things work as well as they do... but when a problem arises, they seem to go into "damage control" mode. IE what is less expensive, a redesign/recall? Or... depending on the number of incidents, case by case.

Shameful.... Of course we would expect a company with an ounce of integrity to take the high road, being that a vehicle is likely the 2nd most expensive investment us humans ever make in our lives... But as said before.. today's cars are made with a shelf life.

As far as known issues, I wouldn't worry about it too much. I think the vast majority are taken care of as quietly as possible to avoid the kind of fuss we are currently raising.

JMHO
