Turns out that in 30 seconds I was able to find that your example of why US cars lack quality seems to be a very common problem amongst Toyota owners:
All it takes is a tiny bit of effort to refute the commonly accepted idea that US cars break and Japanese ones don’t.
There is an undeniable favoritism towards Japanese cars in this country. That search above shows that lots of Toyota owners have all sorts of problems with their dash lights going out when they apply the brakes, turn off the headlights and at other random times.
Name any trouble you’ve had with your US car and I’ll show you plenty of people who’ve experienced something similar with a Japanese model.
Odd thing is that the Japanese drivers often ignore the problems and brush off minor annoyances with a Honda that they’d chastise a Chevy for. Why?
