Unfortunatly, I believe GM does exactly that. The rear differential whine for example, has been a problem since the 2003 model year on the CTS, and they are still building them with the defective part at the beginning of the 2005 model year. They MUST know that. There is a fundamental difference in corporate philosophy between GM, and Lexus for example.
Lexus had a few problems in early production year 2004 with a vibration in the drive shaft of their GX470 model. They were made aware of the problem, and fixed it in later 04 vehicles. My GX has a build designation of 9700G, and they started the 04 production at 9700A. That means Lexus has made enough running improvements during the 2004 model year to change the model designation 7 times. GM doesn't do that, they just keep churning out the defective ones, model year after model year.
The SRX Sunroof has been a problem for over a year, and only now are we hearing about a possible fix for it.
