I know what I've seen. 14 years ago I bought a brand new American pickup.
10 years ago, I dumped it, literally. Quailty hadn't gone up since the
1960's as a matter of fact I had MORE problems with the newer American
vehicle. I currently own a Toyota of the same age as the American vehicle I
dumped in 1998. I don' t have problems with the engine or the body, at
least not yet. I did with the Chevy and it was less than 4 years old.
American manufactures want their car to be less desirable so owners will buy
a new one quicker. This is part of the DNA of the American carmakers.
They're not going to ever give that up.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
I'm not buying a Detroit-3 vehicle ever again. And NEVER a F***ed Over
Rebuilt Dodge.
