What car hasn’t had a recall or a TSB? Show me one that has NEVER had a manufacturer defect? Foreign or domestic. GM at least has the balls to public announce the recall and take care of it even though there was ONE reported incident. /thread ---

I have beef with gm for never recalling the bad manifold gaskets! Other then that every car has problems no matter what you buy. ---

> [@nelstoys](#): > > I have beef with gm for never recalling the bad manifold gaskets! Other then that every car has problems no matter what you buy. If you talk to the right people, you can get almost everything taken care of. I used to be a service writer for Northtown. You call the right numbers, you can get anything (with validity) repaired on the mfg’s dime. I had tire issues with a relatives car the other day, talked to one person, had brand new ones installed at no charge. Talk (professionally) to the right person in the right position, then you will most likely get what you deserve. ---

:lol: @ “Honda rules this thread” > **[Engine problems force Honda recall](http://www.nbcnews.com/id/17689720/)** > > Honda Motor Corp. said Monday that it was recalling about 165,000 vehicles from the 2005-06 model years in the United States to deal with potential engine problems. > **[Honda to recall over 45,000 hybrid Civics](http://www.nbcnews.com/id/17054702/)** > > Honda Motor Co. plans to recall 45,335 Civic Hybrid sedans worldwide to repair a voltage converter defect that could stop the car’s engine, a company spokeswoman said Friday. [http://www.consumeraffairs.com/recalls04/2006/honda\_odyssey.html](http://www.consumeraffairs.com/recalls04/2006/honda_odyssey.html) Face it, they all have recalls. It’s how the company handles them that makes the difference. Still waiting for GM to do something about the strut rub on the GTO’s, despite several documented crashes and an NHTSA investigation. I had mine re-aligned and I’ll be ordering the parts to permanently fix it before spring. And WTF is up with VW tail lights? I almost never see one in traffic that doesn’t have a tail light out. A friend had a Jetta 1.8T and it would pop a tail light about once every 2 months. ---

The survey dropped Toyota from first to fifth place - behind Honda, Acura, Scion and Subaru - in average vehicle reliability. The rankings are based on average predicted reliability for all models sold under a given brand. so this says that the GM vehicles are still below all the jap cars…oh yea they are… GM …LOL ---
