It had nothing to do with some guy on the assembly line who really has no say in any of these matters and who is supposedly making too much money.

Here I though my reason was why the automakers were in such financial troubles.

I own a 2500 HD Diesel (that I have towed 16,000 pounds with, try that with a Jap POS), a Jeep wrangler (6 years old and nothing has broken), a 1983 Dodge D150 work truck (still going strong), a 1949 Cady (also still going strong), and a 1997 Harley Davidson (not an American car, but still an American product). All of the above vehicles have been great. I think a lot of people think of a mid 70's quality vehicle when they think of American, but most of the new vehicles are very good.

Hey...good for you! Let's see...my girlfriends 2007 Impala (10k miles)has been back to the dealer twice for warped rotors. A fellow worker has had new rotors put on his 2007 Chrysler 300 at 13k miles, and another co-worker has had brakes replaced on his 2008 Ford Edge at 17k.

Hmmm...my Toyota RAV 4 just had front brakes replaced at 90k for the first time. BTW...I'm trading it in on a Ford Fusion AWD because they are practically giving it to me.

I think you will be happier seeing how the Rav4 is a chick car. J/K

BTW, My wrangler has 90k on it and nothing more than routine maintenance. I beat the crap out of it off road and it has been rock solid even pulling 33's with a 4 1/2" lift. Best car I have ever owned...
