I know how you feel. My Ford was giving me many problems a few years back with multiple transmission issues and more than a few engine problems. Now I can afford to get my family some gifts this year because my Honda isn't eating all my funds. =)

We had the same experience with a Japanese car several years ago and switched to Ford and GM. Never a problem from either of those brands. We also totally disagree with commenter 17:57. Putting 14,000,000 Americans out of work would totally destroy our entire economy. Schools need to require courses in economics. Fortunately domestics are currently outselling imports by about 2 to 1, so apparently not everyone is sympathetic to destroying our way of life.
