And when customers turn away take money from the government because we can't let them fail because it would be dire for the economy. BAD BUSINESS all around.
Yes Toyota had rings problems and yes they didn't handle it well, and yes they had the sludge monsters but when you consider the volume of cars they sell and all the models of engines they have had it's small in comparison to the GM blunders of issues over the decades and now. Again no OE is perfect and will have it's issues but then there are patterns that emerge and GM has problem child written all over itself. Albeit they are much better than the junk they were turning out before.
When i get a V6 4 Runner in for head gaskets, Or a 4.6L/5.7L in for a starter.......I smile ear to ear! Toyota owners are WILL spend the money to PROVE their superiority!
