It is telling that some here are so willing to call anyone that questions a US manufacture as a Hater. I've owned nothing but US made cars all my life. The first foriegn car I've owned was a Volvo with 330,000 on it. Never burnt a drop of oil or slipped a gear. Still have it. Does that make me a Hater?
I think I remember a little deal with Ford and some tires and the fire prone Pinto (Owned one and never got burnt). Or the brake and trans issues on the Ford pick up. Chrysler had a recall on automatic trans gear shift locks that would allow the trans to shift out of park. (Mine ran down a hill and hit a tree with my grandson in it.) Got a recall letter from them 6 months after the accident, Grandson suffered no damage thought the mini van was totalled
Check out the pictures of my front brake rotors with less than 60K on them from my Denali. So why did they rust on the inside.
I work for a global company and we no longer own the car business even though they are still built in the original plants and under the same standards as when we owned them. Otherwise they loose the name. Does that make me a Hater?
