General Motors Corporation's cars and trucks account for 41.2% of the models in this year's Consumer Reports' much-worse-than-average reliability list for model years 1997 through 2004.
Each manufacturer's percentage of entries on the much-worse-than-average reliability list appears below.

However, a less sanguine view is that GM may just not be around much longer.
