acura -- these things turn into a ****ing match because the average consumer knows nothing about which he/she speaks, especially when it comes to cars. this is obvious on the bitog website. you state "... they're probably outsourced...". of course they're outsourced.yet, the automaker and assembly workers are always to blame, even though bad parts are the real issue. there are probably some people that think that the air bag parts are built in some corner of the assembly plant.
many threads on bitog echo the ignorance of many posters, especially since the big 3 bashing started late last year.a few of my neighbors are good examples.one has a 2 yr. old honda that had a power window regulator die.of course, honda's are now [censored].another has a 2 yr. old hyundai that had a bad brake rotor. hyundai's are now [censored]. another has a 1 yr.old focus that had a bad battery. now, ford's are [censored]. of course, these issues have to be the fault of the automakers, and the assemblers.i ask them how these issues are the fault of the assemblers. i get no reply.as stated earlier, the average consumer knows nothing about which he/she speaks. of course, the automaker has to be held accountable, but the consumer should see the reality of the situation.but, all of these stories are entertaining.
the fact is that ALL of the automakers get bad parts from vendors, from time to time. that's the way it is.the companies get parts from all over the world, and sometimes they're not all perfect.it boggles my mind why the average consumer cannot understand this.
