'05 Ford Mustang GT's have Defective engines!!!...

[Hottie]

I think the offical first build date for 05 stange is early 05, so the problem fixed WAY b4 the first production stange roll off the plant. Learn before you slam.

Elightenment. I require it.

Dyno testing enthusiasts were pissed when the auto RX8 only put down ~197 instead of the factory claimed 240.

if you drive an auto rx8 you deserve 120 horsepower

Ha! The short memories of ATOT's Nissan fan-boys amazes me.

Forget about this infamous recall back in '03 that affected 2.56 million Nissan vehicles?

Ornery, we both know that domestics have a higher frequency of recalls than imports. Their quality is lower, documented across the board by any number of third party analysis groups, including JD power and consumer reports.

The only "imports" that have higher quality than domestics are Honda and Toyota, but most of Toyota and Honda cars sold in the US are made here. If you believe that expensive European imports are more reliable...you're quite wrong. Imports retain their value better, it's about perceived quality that import suppose to have and the rebates offer by domestics that drive down their value. When you buy a VW Jetta, you think you're buying a reliable car, it's interior is better, it feels solid when you test drive it, but when you get it home, it's another beast all together.

I believe by imports, Skoorb was referring to strictly Japanese cars. Everyone knows that VW reliability is crap.

Kohler High-Pressure Toilets
There seems to be a big problem with the Kohler high-pressure toilets. Best case, they don't work very well. Worst case, they explode and flood the house. In neither case is Kohler very interested in helping to solve the problem.

Yeah, sure, that's EXACTLY what he meant. I'm glad you're a mind reader. Oh, and when I say I like import beer, I'm sure you know I mean the good Japanese stuff and not that crap german swig as well!!!!

It's okay, Nissan is quickly on their way to becoming the new GM. Nissan 350Z ~= Infiniti G35 ~= Nissan(J) R35 Skyline ~= more forthcoming.

Sharing parts between divisions leads to more people with their hand in the development which leads to more confusion in development which leads to defects and hillariously kitbashed vehicles that won't sell.

STFU. First off, it's designated as the V35, not R35 Skyline. Also, the current 4-door and 2-door V35 Skylines in Japan are selling a hell of a lot better than the R34 did. The part of your post that I bolded just proves how stupid you really are. Nissan already proved you wrong years ago.

I mentioned this in the other thread, but the next generation GT-R will be based on a NEW chassis... so, once again, come back when you know what you're talking about.

omg, (a hahah) thoses models are ugly anyway ;( Sad, my little mustangs are sick.

 

[sniperruff]

well this happens to ford almost every time they introduce a new car. you can praise ford all you want but nissan, toyota, honda, and even hyundai do not have such a high frequency of recalls everytime a new car comes out. the thing is ford doesn't really fix everything immediately until a couple of years (read: ford focus fuel pump)

 

[kitkit201]

If you havent looked at Ford lately... dont bother...

Honda recalls 600,000 vehicles for transmission defect...

Interestingly, although recalls are common for all makes (more so for domestic cars though), mostly the American designed vehicles are the ones with safety related problems. The recent Ford GT recall for defective control arms, the same type of recall for the C5 Corvette a few years ago for defective control arms, and the latest recall from Chrysler for faulty ball joints. There are more.

Anyway, about sludged engines - I'm finding lots of sludged Dodges and Jeeps with 4.7, 5.2 and 5.9 liter engines in the wholesale business. I mean a ton of them. Way more than any Toyotas I've come across. The difference is Toyota is owning up to the problem, Chrysler is still blaming the owners for not following the service schedule.

And Hondas. I was in a Honda dealership a little while ago - there were twenty stalls in the service bay. Nineteen of the stalls had cars in for regular service (oil changes, brakes etc...), the last car was in for a transmission replacement because the owner had run over a parking lot block.

Hey, even it was a warranty repair for one of their oversized trans cases it would have been cool. If that's all that goes wrong with those things and they're fixing them under warranty than it's all good as far as I'm concerned.

Try going into a domestic car dealer service dept sometime. Those guys have engines out, or are replacing in-tank fuel pumps - major repairs. It just speaks about the quality...

Interestingly, I think we both may be right. The internet seems 50/50 split between calling it R35 and V35. I can't read Nissan's Jap website, but I've tried. The concept shown at the Tokyo Motor Show seems to be referred to as the V35, while the production vehicle is R35. It's still ugly as goatballs, and it definitely LOOKS like a 350Z that a 3 year old took crayons to the blueprints for.

Even on the Tokyo Motor Show highlights page on Nissan's international website, I can't find a single mention of the exhibit for this particular car in 2001 (or any year, for that matter.) The Skyline line is also totally missing on the Japanese website's lineup page. Perhaps they don't want to talk about it? Also, the "production" photos of the GT-R are IDENTICAL to the non-GT-R coupe. Of course, the concept photos looked the same, with the exception of the taillights, which were off a R34 instead of a G35.

Find me evidence that says otherwise.

Edit: And when did I say I was talking about the GT-R model, anyway?

 

[Ornery]

This topic isn't about "domestics", it's about one small issue in one part. All "domestics" are NOT the same, and all ricemobiles are NOT immune.

 

[CFster]

Was it coincidence that both of your links pointed to foreign cars?

In any event, all domestics are the same - poor design, and crappy build quality.
