Consumer reports hates American workers

"To supplement laboratory testing, the survey research department gathers the experiences that hundreds of thousands of our subscribers have had with products and services through an annual questionnaire. Those results are the basis of our well-known auto Frequency-of-Repair index and other product-reliability reports."

Apparently the American consumer hates the American workers. (products)

Don't forget that many of these vehicles are built/assembled in NA.

Either way before purchasing any large item like a car do the research first!

Pretty with bells and whistles isn't always the best.

Meh I'm on my 4th consecutive ram . First one is still running has 350000 on it . People can bash dodge all they want . They make a decent truck for less than a Chevy . They are not ugly like fords

As to consumer reports. They have been hating dodge since at least the mid 90s. Mopar had a lot of rough years as a result

A friend of mine has a Dodge 3500 and it died on him coming back from California. Second time in less than a year it has died on a trip.
I have owned one in the past as well and never again.

Sounds like a personal problem

Personally my husband and I prefer vehicles built in Japan - more reliable. But we have a sedan and a hatchback. My Toyota Matrix has seats that fold flat (though I'm thinking you'll probably need more room that it has).

My best friend has a Hyundai Santa Fe and it has done more than it was supposed to be able to and is still running.

Agreed. I have a Tacoma and it runs like a dream and takes me everywhere I need to go. I spend a lot of time in the mountains. If I won the lottery I would still be driving this truck.

Interestingly enough, the Toyota Matrix was built in Cambridge, Ontario and the Tacoma's are built in San Antonio, Texas and Tijuana, Mexico.

Our last vehicle was a 2008 Ford Escape and we drove it for 7 years with no major problems.
We weren't fussy on the design of the new ones.

The back seats folded down flat with room enough for 2 sets of golf clubs and 2 push carts. Lots of room.

LOL, that was one of my CWO's favorite sayings when I was in the Military.

Is that what you are paying her to take it off your hands?

It's a standard and I'd never be able to handle it.

I did test drive a Buick Enclave today. 2006. Anyone got any experience with those?
