Consumer Reports

[Justin Bimmer]

So I was reading the latest issue of CR and in the auto section they had a little side article about how cars that are recalled does not mean they are unreliable or unsafe. The ONLY reason why they wrote this was because St. Toyota has been falling to the nasty recall bug the last few months. NEVER would they have put that in there and used GM or Ford as an example. P.S. WHERE DO YOU WANT THE WIPER SWITCH -- either its on the stalk and its "too busy" or its not and "hard to find"

Have they yet to mention Honda's grenading automatic transmissions? The Odyssey minivan is especially prone to this. My neighbor's Accord is on its 3rd automatic tranny. But that's just a routine maintenance item, eh?

Heh. And the banging sound they make as things fly apart inside the case is musical in its quality; unlike the sound of an exploding tranny in a "domestic" vehicle. :lol:

I think CR is an insult to journalism. Blatant & unsubstantiated BULL$HIT!
