Holy cow. This is from yesterday:

Chrysler Group has ordered a recall of 349,442 cars and SUVs from the 2008 model year to fix faulty ignition switches that can move out of position and potentially could lead to the engine shutting off while driving and air bags not functioning

Are they building these things with offshore labor?

:smoking:

I work in quality in the automotive industry and it would blow your mind how shoddily these things are put together.

You have unions trying to get every nickel they possibly can and you have companies trying to make their stock price as attractive as possible. None of these things are conducive to giving a damn about the consumer.

Yep, here at BMW they care only about one thing, not shutting the line down. Let's build them as fast as we can. 1 car every minute.
