GM financial woes have begun

Is it just me that thinks GM has been using the cheapest, flimsiest, most breakage prone switches in their cheap low end junk cars for decades now? The only difference is that this time they did it with the ignition switches for a change. I don't think I have been in a single 10+ year old low end GM vehicle that didn't have at least one malfunctioning window, door lock, brake light, turn signal, seat adjustment, climate control or wiper switch broken? I remember my mothers old 84 Chevy cavalier in which the wiper would go over one wipe every time you took a hard left. Then I was in a friends Chevette that had the exact same issue. I replaced all the window switches in my Astro multiple times (first with cheap aftermarket switches then with expensive dealer OEM switches) only to have them last no more than a couple of months. I finally made my own aluminum switch plate and mounted DPDT center off toggle switches in it so I could use the windows.

I currently own a 2006 Crew Cab Duramax and love it! I will admit that I am pretty surprised that I don't have a single bad switch but half the dash lights and steering wheel lights have gone out. I figured (hoped) that maybe Chevy puts a bit better quality switches in a $50K truck?

As much as I love my truck I would never buy a GM car. In my experience doing so is just asking to be constantly pestered by little things that don't work or only work intermittently.

Anyone else have these same issues with low end GM vehicles?
