  Indeed, even worse consideeing just last week they recalled a ton of vehicles because of faulty airbags, and a month ago issued another recall for 12V batteries catching fire

    There's always recalls going on, so it's not indicative of anything when they happen.

    I've had 3 newer cars from 3 brands in 3 countries, and all 3 had a recall of some kind. In each case they just bring it in and fix it...

      I’d much prefer a manufacturer that issues recalls over over one with a perfect track record. No one is perfect. At least one of them is acknowledging and fixing their mistakes.

      It’s when they don’t do the recalls like Chrysler with their Pacifica minivans. That van has so many problems and the customer ends up paying for the repair. The harness corrosion behind the bumper, The grille shutter, hybrid coolant pump, electric ac expansion valves and I just had one with a crank position sensor code with the hybrid charging system making an awful racket with 9000 miles. Most of the problems I listed are usually under 30k miles. I didn’t even get into their other vehicles. There’s a reason Consumer Reports listed them as one of the most unreliable.

        Really good point.

  Or rather bad press for Daihatsu, who this is actually about.
