Oh my god! I hope my Nissan La Festa is not part of this recall! So far so good! Just cross my fingers?

good when sales are down, storing in warehouse is cheaper than keeping them in Show-rooms.

Oh pleeez... They'll now book full repair and recall costs for every unit while they get back less than a third. That's lower taxes and money funnelled into some account in gondwanaland.

"April 2005" ? Why were these cars allowed into the market place ? The design flaws here are serious ! "Engine stalls and faulty brake lights" ? Anybody know of any deaths or injuries caused by this scandal ?

Designers and installers make mistakes but at least they've come clean. I remember a time when Japanese manufacturers would never fess up and issue a recall unless caught trying to cover up with a 'service action'.

dontpanic They only come clean when they're on to another scam. How the hell does anyone expect the Big 3 to compete?

They came clean in the 1990s when the transport ministry sunk its teeth into Mitsubishi. After that Honda, Nissan et al started to be more open.

The US big three (though for how much longer no-one knows) could always have competed by producing vehicles of equal or better quality, they chose not to invest. Thats a scam in the US thats gone on way too long.
