My Chevy camaro Z-28 had a problem with it's axle that cost me $2,200 to repair for no darn good reason. My Ford explorer's driver's door fell off the hinges, went through 2 trannies and 2 ACs. I traded it in, bleeding it's 3rd transmission's fluid on the Lexus parking lot some time in 2002.
2009 and only 1 additional Lexus later I'll swear I won't be buying either GM or Ford again.
