Who Might Benefit From Detroit's Failings

I never owned a foreign car UNTIL ford and gm wore me out.. 2003 Malibu, sold at 44k, just out of warranty, problems like 1000's of others on the internet, brought back (3) times before 35k for front brakes that GRINDED bad, never really fixed, ac compressor would go on & off at will whether you had temp all the way up or not, intake manifold started leaking all over front of engine, that was to be a $1500 repair, but traded it in first, then, would NOT START until you sat for 10 minutes with the key OFF then ON, then it would.. Gassing up at a filling station you had to WAIT 10 MINUTES to start the sucker.. Rear window defroster STOPPED WORKING.. Need I SAY MORE.. EVERY FORD I owned NEW since 1993 had the sending units FAIL in the fuel tank, thats (4) DIFFERENT vehicles and types.. Kept bringing them back, one (5) times. They have to drop the fuel tank, drain the gas, replace the sending unit, reverse, a 3 hour job.. A service manager told me that Ford takes the lowest cost bid and that the subcontractor that makes the sending units was taking them to the cleaners and that Ford DIDN'T CARE.. How many OTHER items have similar ends..LOL..!! Had two of these fords blow head gaskets BEFORE 50k, and I DON'T dog my vehicles..WTF..

FINALLY bought a 2005 V6 Honda Accord made in Marysville, Ohio.. With 50k on it, ITS THE BEST CAR I'VE EVER OWNED, PERIOD..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... I can see putting 200k on it with no problem, just change the timing belt at 110k like the book says and water pump and drive on with oil changes, brakes, etc.. WTF.. Why gm, ford, and chrysler can't do it is THEY DON'T CARE ENOUGH at the higher levels in the company.. They can save .45 on a sending unit, so they buy them and KEEP BUYING THEM even if 1000's fail, THEY DON'T CARE..!!!! WHY SHOULD I CARE THEN.. I took a BUTT KICKING ON THAT MALIBU with the trade-in, NOBODY WANTED IT.. IT WAS TRASH.. THAT whole model was trash, THEY MAKE TRASH.. SORRY..!!!
