General Motors

All car makers employ some kind of system to exhaust cabin air out while allowing fresh air in. But in 1971, General Motors‘ full-size fleet introduced one of the worst features in automotive history, the “forced air” ventilation system.

GM changed the design in 1972 to a system that moved the exhaust drains from trunk louvers to the car door lock pillars, allowing for insulation from the elements. Given such obvious problems, it’s a wonder the forced air ventilation system made it to production, much less became the star of GM’s 1971 TV ad campaign.
