Optispark is all I gotta say.
Lets toss in window motors
Tranny mounts
Non-serviceable trannys in the newer cars
The Aztek
I know GM also had the side saddle style gas tank in their trucks years ago that was known for blowing too during impacts
Cadillac 4.* motors
A v6 rear end in a v8 car.....

At least GM has never had a recall because the car did not make the advertised horsepower.

There was a law suit that alleged this but it was not proven. Also Dateline NBC picked up the story and tried to do a recreation of one exploding on impact but they could not get it to happen untill they rigged a test vehicle with explosive squibs. That may be what you are thinking of.

You GM guys still hanging onto that one ?
Tires failing has nothing to do with the car no matter how the media wants to spin it. Hear about anymore roll over problems now that Firestone is gone ? Did't think so.
One more side note to the reliability issues tell me how many 80's-90's Camaros you see running around vs. the same timeframe Mustangs. That says enough about reliability.

You forgot Cimmaron
(you know the rebadged Cavalier.) Only GM would try some ploy like that.Then you have all those quality Z24's from the 90's, Berratta's, Cutlass Supreme, Lumina, Intrigue and more if you want them.
And you current LS1 / LT1 owners can not honestly tell me the rain tray at the base of the windshield that seems to be 3ft tall and the huge hump in the passenger floor is a lack of better engineering.
