Maybe American manufacturers should build shit that works and doesn't need a mechanic every 6 months or less. If Ford and Chevy cars held up like Japanese cars they probably wouldn't be in this mess. That's why so few people want American made anymore, they're built to break.


This is an old myth that needs to be buried

Wife and I own both American cars, always at the mechanic. Since not buying American but used all the same, wife and I are rarely at the mechanic. Anecdotal I know, but it wasn't a myth in my case. Maybe saying they're built to break is extreme but they're definitely less reliable and break far more often than Toyota or Honda to name a few. And yes every manufacturer makes stinkers but why settle for anything less than solid reliability, which American makers can't seem to do unless it's a truck or muscle car.
