UAW On Strike

[Eric66]

Many Subaru and Toyota are made in Lafayette

No, Toyota has plants in southern Indiana and Kentucky (as well as other US plants). We quit building the Camry in Lafayette almost 10 years ago. Strictly Subaru since then, Legacy Sedan, Outback, Ascent and Crosstrek. After Camry and before the Crosstrek we were building the Impreza Sedans and Wagons.

Lemon Law Issues with the 2019 RAM 1500 | The Lemon Law Experts

Do not wait until you are in an accident as a result of safety defects in your vehicle. To take that first step in getting rid of your Ram lemon, call us today!

I've had two, both have been flawless. Every manufacturer makes lemons!

63k miles on my current Ram and I barely drive it, so it'll be good for a long time to come.

If it I get a problem child, I'll toss it and buy something else.

My '16 F150 had frozen door latches which was fun! Ford resolved it but when it hit 2yrs old and 60k miles it was time for something new.

Life is too short to deal with vehicle problems.

There is no full size pickup that compares to the Rams interior. GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate looks nice, but no reason to part with $80,000 when I currently put 3,000 miles a year on my truck.

What do you drive?

I barely drive it

That's the key to success with a Chrysler product.

Honda Ridgeline, Toyota 4 Runner, Honda CRV, Toyota RAV 4

My last chevy silverado crew was before I (we) taxpayers were forced to bail out the auto makers in 08.
They were deemed "too big to fail" by the people the auto makers were donating to.

Same here. We just retired our '06 2500 Mega Cab for a '24 2500 Mega Cab. Just need to get around to selling the old one.

No idea, I've got a Ram in the garage, so I only know enough to poke a close friend who drives a Tundra (and is on his 3rd)...

How many GM engines with DFM/AFM should have been recalled?

They build a solid truck. Well, before Stellantis. Hard to say with the new Hurricane...

That's the key to success with a Chrysler product.

My first '19 was when I was driving 30k miles a year on my personal vehicles. Still, flawless.

But, IMO, something that sits and isn't regularly driven is more likely to have problems than something that's used frequently.

You didn't answer, what do you drive?

No idea, how many?

 

[Bosshoss]

How many GM engines with DFM/AFM should have been recalled?

Maybe as many as Fords 3 valve engines or powerstroke 6.0 or Ram Hemis with the tick or Toyota’s with bad engines or frames or Nissan’s with engine or trans problem.
They all can make some bad ones.

At least Toyota is paying to replace the engines.

No idea, how many?

A lot, but no recall.

Sure, some just made more bad ones than others, some took responsibilities, some didn't.

A lot, but no recall.

I've never had one, so no idea.

Since '04 I've had 5 Hemi's, a Ford 2.7, and a Ford 3.5. My 3.5 in the '14 F150 ate a turbo in the first year but aside from that, no issues.

I drive a lot and run them hard, but take care of my stuff. My current Ram is the exception that rarely gets driven and has the battery tender on it. As much as I love to drive it, it's hard to not drive the free car everywhere!

So your problem is with the UAW?

How many GM engines with DFM/AFM should have been recalled?

Let's start with 3/5th's of them

 

[ljk]

So your problem is with the UAW?

They are not? The money can go towards hiring better engineers or using better materials or better QA or paying the UAW, but not all of them at the same time. UAW got paid, quality of the product is going to suffer.

So non UAW manufactures shouldn't be having any issues right?
Most of the problems listed above are not UAW level problems but are problems that are design level problems(not a UAW person or team) or manufactures going with the lowest bidder for parts.

Did I say that or you?

It's not like they have the money left for higher bidders after paying the UAW.
