So you are saying the 10 times my Focus was in the shop was an illusion? That when the tow truck driver said it was the FIFTH Focus he had towed that week with the SAME ignition problem was all lies?
People didn't make up "Fix Or Repair Daily" just for fun.

Your stories just prove what American cars are all about - no consistent quality. For every one they get right, 10 are wrong.
And this implication that someone is unAmerican for criticizing American cars is pretty low. Bet your Focus was made in Mexico.

Guess you'll have to explain why the American auto industry itself admits 1978 was the year they produced the most unreliable cars in their history. And why Consumer Reports is littered with American cars and truck that are "used cars to avoid".

<<The Chrysler minivans have long been recognized as the best, most reliable mini vans made>.
Sorry, but EVERY rating agency has listed them as used cars to avoid. They have NEVER been reliable vehicles, EVER. Your friends were lucky since everyone I have ever known who had one regretted it like mad.
