Replying to: cooterbfd (Feb 16, 2008 5:33 am) allowing the faulty condition to remain and then take it to the dealer would confirm this condition and expedite the analysis and repair.

Replying to: dinof (Feb 15, 2008 5:28 am) great, new North American 2007 Car of the Year" As with most new models (regardless of the maker) , the second or third years are the sweet spot for quality and better deals. |

Replying to: vanman1 (Feb 17, 2008 2:13 pm) new car just can't resist that brand new model that no one else has as yet. But just as you say, it takes the companies a few years to work out the bugs....................and then guess what : just as they finally get that model working just right, it's time for the next generation of that model and we start all over again. You just can't win..............especially if they will not honor their warranties.

Replying to: vanman1 (Feb 17, 2008 2:13 pm) problem on most American cars or foreign cars assembled by American Companies is the workmanship. Our workers no longer take pride in a job well done. All they want is the money and benefits; which is the main reason GM and others are attempting to buy out all the union workers and replace them with people who will realize that if they do shoddy work, they will be replaced and not have a union to protect them !

Replying to: dinof (Feb 17, 2008 5:27 pm) and benefits; Hey Dinof, It's hard to give you an ear full since you can't hear this anyway, unless your using that goofy microsoft text reader thingie. LOL I wouldn't say that the American workers "don't want to build a quality car" or "that they can't built a quality car" but rather they aren't allowed to build a quality car. Between the Unions wanting to get the highest salaries for the workers, and the stock holders demanding higher profits so they can have bigger dividend checks each quarter there isn't time to build a quality car. Every sub contracted component manufacturer has the same issues as the mother corporation. So every part cost more than it is worth and was made with the minimum allowable quality that will get past the inspectors. Until we eliminate the stock owners and the unions and are willing to pay a lot more for the same car, we will continue to build poor quality cars that you and I can afford. Secondary reason is of course the big car builders want you to have to buy a new car in about 4-5 years. No reason to build one that will last much more than that now is there? Of course you might be 100% correct and I may be all wet

Replying to: phaetondriver (Feb 17, 2008 7:37 pm) that would last at least as long as the car payments .......LOL.

I own a 2007 Aura XE. I started the car the other morning and my whole dash cluster just quit working. (no lights or gauge readings) I have had no problem with this car before this occurred and was actually considering trading it for an Aura XR next year. Has anyone else had this problem? It has an appointment Thursday morning at the dealership.
