Are you suggesting that Japanese or Korean cars do not experience problems like you’ve experienced with some of your US cars?

They do, and with pretty much equall instances if you spead out reliablity reports across an entire line.

Ford makes/has made really succesful models and some with issues sometimes. The same goes for Toyota (the Tundra comes to mind quickly).

Dirty little secret here…I used to work a multi-line Japanese dealership when I was younger. I witnessed every kind of crazy failure you can think of, we never wanted for work in the service department, these are machines.

Still I would never say they build junk, that would be dumb, these are machines.
