Re: Warning!! Dangerous design flaw in the 2006 Jeep Wranglers!!
You're not alone, Japanese new car buyers share your experience with their
autos as well. Nippon vehicles do have their problems but, for some reason,
you don't hear about them. A few examples:

got caught up in this one- that's why I'm aware of it.)

http://www.mycarstats.com/auto_Compl...Complaints.asp
http://www.my3cents.com/search.cgi?criteria=Toyota
http://www.consumeraffairs.com/autom...nsmission.html
I speak from some experience, as one of the more troublesome cars I owned
was a Honda.
I firmly believe that the Japanese cars of the seventies and eighties shook
the Detroit auto manufacturers out of their lethargy, but now most American
cars are of comparable quality. In the here and now, the Japanese automakers
need to be looking over their shoulders at the Koreans. Just my $.02

Re: Warning!! Dangerous design flaw in the 2006 Jeep Wranglers!!
The east has got the desire to work for a pittance and exploit their
children if necessary to promote themselves to a basic lifestyle we would
all turn our noses up at. The west has the short termism to invest in
building factories for them to do so. The only thing the east doesn't have
is the financial regulation and the R&D knowledge. Guess what - we are in
the 2nd industrial revolution where knowledge has never before been ------
so easily. In short, we are all f*ked until they all catch up with us and
lose their competitive advantage. I'm glad I wasn't born recently.
