It isn’t BS! I’ve driven GM cars since the 50’s and NEVER had a lemon. My current Buick is 13 years old and drives like a dream. The only service repair has been a small leak in the A/C. I’ve driven throughout Canada, Mexico and The U.S. My son won’t drive anything but a Chevy pickup. He has had three and put over 300,000 miles on each one. The cost of New Tires is all either of us has ever needed to spend.
You have been sold a bill of goods by the Japs and Jerrys. Go ahead and drive a car with a faulty steering column. That’s just the latest in a long line of recalls by the foreign auto industries. I’ll stick to US products.
My dad had a habit of buying used domestic cars typically 3 years in age. Just the point at which the problems started. He’d keep them for a few years, until the bodies rusted away or the current repair exceeded the vehicle’s value.
10 years ago he bought his first “jap trap” Toyota, only at my mom’s urging. He traded that last year for a Honda CRV. He only ever had to replace brakes, tires, and oil.
American cars are crap in general. Though some of the full size domestic trucks are okay, the Ford has made some nice progress in quality. The rest is poorly made, unreliable crap.
