Their stuff isn't perfect yet. The Fusion rental had an annoying rattle in the driver's window (it had 16k miles, and it's a rental........so I was somewhat accepting).
I read ya.

My fast pass on your original post led me to false conclusions. :thumbup:

As far as Toyota's quality issues go...I'm all for more american jobs and what not, but their quality really has tanked compared to what it used to be when their vehicles were exclusively built in Japan.

Well their vehicles were also built in much smaller numbers. Any business losses some of its quality with exponential growth. But good point none the less.

What do you mean?

I have posted this before: The Big Three's problem at this moment is not the quality of their vehicles; it's the perception that their vehicles are of lower quality.

Good for Ford. I hope it continues... :thumbup:

Just that when you start producing more units, regardless of what business you're in, you usually will take a quality hit because of larger scale mass production. Toyota has become HUGE in the last 5-10 years.

Exactly!

I also hope they recover. Maybe they are learning about service and
quality now. Toyota has def had more service problems over the past 5 years as they sub out more parts to be built elsewhere.
