I'm not understanding this, either. Don't give up on the domestics just yet. You bought a first year production car, which is always risky, with any make.
Just got done working on a 2001 V6 Passat, 34k on it. Both horns have been replaced so far, the rear brakes are near grinding, and it has an eternal problem with some dashboard noises. That, and you can't even imagine what it's like servicing under the hood.
Freind's father's 03 Honda Pilot went in last week again for a pulley and belt "unattatching" itself. This was after a CAMSHAFT problem last year right after he picked it up. Inproper torqueing at the factory, which resulted in cam timing thrown way off.
There's more I'm sure if I think hard enough, but my point is that when you see the whole market, foreign and domestic, you see that there's not a huge gap between domestic and foreign quality anymore. But, it is unfortunate about whatever problems you've been having with your car. It's frustrating, especially when you've gotta make that big payment every month...
thats part of the point I was trying to make in the other forum. The gap is closing, domestics are as good as the imports and imports have more problems than ever before, but Peoples PERCEPTION IS stuck in the late 80s when GM made junk and the imports were winning people over with really good cars.
