We are fans of Toyota too. We gave Chrysler a try and had quality problems too. Not as bad as GM but when a starter fails after 70K Miles, it might be an indication of poor quality. We were also having electrical issues with the Chrysler and the battery being discharged all of the time. The car hadn’t reached 100K miles.
About Toyota — their low end cars have quality issues as well. I am worried that Toyota has caught the same “disease” as GM and Chrysler — cut corners and quality to save $ at the expense of the customer. I am guarded about Toyota now. The higher end cars are still pretty solid.
My best cars have been my cheapest to purchase(used). Worst...most expensive(new). Lesson learned. Doubt I'd ever buy new again(especially from the big 3...and I'm in Michigan).
From the article:
“It also has contributed to substantial declines in GM’s shares during the past four weeks.”
If UAW owns GM shares, sounds like they have a vested interest in avoiding a strike if possible. There is something else going on here.
“...If UAW owns GM shares....”
I thought they sold off their “ownership stake” which they got during the Zero bail-out. Sold it off late in his first term or in his 2nd.
I actually don’t know. I’m just going by what post #2 said.
The Locals have to arrange rental of a hall then get official notifications out to all their members as to when and where the vote will be held.
Then the subsequent tallying of the votes in each local and passing the results on to Solidarity House......
Very wise. Well start buying used because new is too expensive and a terrible value.
