Parts Delays: I'm never buying another GM
We've seen many posts along those lines, typically because of justifiable frustration over long wait times for BECM, EGR or other replacement parts.
"GM doesn't care about supporting it's customers", or "we need a class action lawsuit" or similar statements are made.
I've pointed out that GM is not the only auto maker having these issues. The main cause continues to be supply chain issues that started with the Covid disruptions.
The latest news is GM feels your pain. They have almost 95,000 partially completed vehicles in storage waiting for parts. The unsold vehicles amounted to 16% of GM's total sales from April through June. This hit's their stock and bottom line in a bad way. If you think GM doesn't car about the back order mess, you'd be very wrong. They are actively working with suppliers to resolve issues.
Need more proof this is industry-wide, not just GM? Toyota lost sales in the US due to parts supply shortages, falling into 2nd place behind GM.

That's not to say we should be happy. No one would be happy having their car unusable or limping along for 3-4 months. I'm saying the grass is no greener with the other auto manufacturers. Blaming GM for something that's global and threatening to never buy another car from GM is understandable but unreasonable.
Chip shortage leaves 95K GM vehicles unfinished in storage
The global shortage of computer chips forced General Motors to build 95,000 vehicles without certain components during the second quarter.

Hello! I have a 2017 Chevy Volt Premier and am stuck for parts. Does anyone know where I can find OE GM parts for a new set of fuel injector seals? Part Number = 12665136.
I've been looking everywhere online and calling dealers in the area, but everyone says they're on backorder or out of stock. Some websites are even saying they've been discontinued, which I would find incredibly hard to believe. I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Any and all help is appreciated, I'm getting desperate over here
