Steering still vibrates at 70 mph, after changing over 3 sets of tires, and numerous balancing. Lexus rx300: I had to fight with the great Toyota motor company to fix silencer vibration so bad that it would be booming and irritating at idle speeds. For 6 months they refused to fix it since there was nothing broken to fix. I had to threaten to take them to court for them to fix it. Every now and them all the lights(VSC, TCS, check engine, etc) on the dash will start blinking. Will go away after 24 hrs. No idea what is causing it yet. Mazda6: u r right about the recalls. But that was not because it was unreliable. Not in my case. Reliable in my case means that the car does leave me stranded in the middle of the road or does not have any safety related issues. |

The simple fact of the matter is, as someone else pointed out earlier, other than a few outliers brandwise, the difference between a very reliable car, and a very unreliable car are often negligible to people who actually know cars. But to the public at large, they see the stats and buy based on it. The key to any car, at all, is to keep the car maintained properly, do the proper maintenance on it and address any problems it does develop quickly so that they don't become bigger issues. This makes some people mad because they don't understand why they have to replace an air filter or get their transmission flushed. Tough crap. It's a highly complex machine with thousands and thousands of parts. It's gonna have maintenance. |

Just like to add, I did have the transmission flushed a year before it failed. Followed all the maintenance as suggested by the dealer. Crap in, crap out. This car has given me more problems that all my previous cars combined, which were all fords. Sorry if that upsets people with emotional feelings towards their car.

Replying to: moparbad (Sep 05, 2008 2:29 pm) Are the subscribers to CR not representative of the population at large? Is there some trait or demographic that is inherant to CR subscribers? I understand what you're saying but doesn't any survey automatically exclude some members of a population either by the number of surveys sent or by the "types" of people that respond? |
