GM recall 'linked' to 303 deaths
Michael Moore said so and he was right.
US auto makers trashed their own brands selling crap for decades, losing both the global and the US domestic markets to people who made decent cars.
Notorious during those years was Lee Iacocca, who rescued Chrysler, ruined by selling junk, after a government bailout entirely through an ad campaign to convince America what a kick-ass leader he was and what a great job he was doing, turning Chrysler around.
Detroit continued to make junk throughout his tenure.
Only within the last decade has the reputation of American cars been recovering.
This is not going to help.
I drove a four year old Ford Galaxy in college, for a while, and it was already unreliable scrap.
The only other American car I ever had was a three year old, low mileage and well kept Chevy that began to fall apart, complete with peeling paint, almost immediately.
Five year old Asian cars are as reliable and good looking as you could want.
