Another reason to buy non-big three...

Junkster, who would seriously rather buy a Hyundai before a GM

 

Don't GM vehicles come with 5 recalls as standard equipment?

 

Nah, that's the option package. Dealers typically throw it in for free.

 

Wow, 1.5 Mil...
I wonder how long before they're no longer #1 auto maker..

 

 

Big three now includes Toyota

 

Maybe in but when us say Big 3, we mean the US automakers.

 

which one did toyota surpass?

 

True... I should have said the Detroit three...

Junkster, who believes Toyota passed up Chrysler

 

Yup

 

Wow 1.5 million. Ouch.

 

I thought they also passed, at one point in time, Ford.

 

 

Sounds like good ol' GM to me.

 

GM drivers:

 

How can Cadillac be at the top of the quality rankings with stuff like this? I guess the AARP crowd that buys those things just take sutff like this for granted.

 

thats a lot of cars being recalled!

But has Toyota passed DAIMLER-Chrysler?

 

Lexus outsells MB here in the US, so I would say yes.

 

Just another example of how GM and the other Detroit manufacturers keep R&D expenses down by letting the purchasers do the product testing.

 

That's only a small slice of the total pie - I'm not sure that Toyota outsells Chrysler, especially with all the minivans, 300Cs and Dodge Magnums they're selling lately, not to mention all the fleet sales.

 

Hmm, I better go check what badge is on the front of my TSX. Maybe its in the shop so much because they mistakely placed a GMC logo on it

 

The actual reason why these cars have been recalled is not too different than our rear light wiring harnes fix. I guess it can happen to anyone.

 

First GM recalls over a million cars. Next it recalls itself out of the IRL. I wonder what'll be next to get recalled?

 

Its only one problem, I'd hate to think this being Acura and people accepting it as one problem.

Being the largest car manufacturer means that when there is a recall, it will be large. If Honda actually recalled those trannies that were prone to failure, it would have reached the millions. Guess thats why they extended the warranty and denied the problem.
