Yep, that company is all fucked up. Their cost of doing business is too high so their engineering and manufacturing has to cut corners. Hence: crappy product. ---

So they need to replace a seal on an electrical connector? Big fuckin deal. German wiring is 100x worse. Ford likely won’t go bankrupt either. Their Euro cars are doing VERY well and are high quality. They just need to reorganize and restructure their business. ---

Ford has a real big problem on their hands with these ABS/brake system problems. All their cars share the same parts, and they’re all failing. The more insurance companies dig into these mysterious fires. I know for a while my Expedition was parked in the driveway away from the house because I had been reading about the ABS deactivation switch fires a while before the recall. Finally Ford recalled it. ---

Unions and pension plans. Pension plans are also a huge problem to American automobile companies. ---

I thought to myself, “WTF do onions have to do with it”. :nite: But yeah, unions are the major problem for GM and Ford right now. You have to make up the extra cost somewhere (design, materials, quality control etc). Regardless of where the end result is an inferior product. ---
