Cars Trucks

Why won’t the U.S automakers understand the reason they can’t sell cars/trucks is because they’re bad quality?
I mean, who doesn’t know the joke about Ford.

Don’t even get me started on GM vehicles.
When will they understand that they can’t compete with overseas companies as long as they continue to make lemon cars. Poor quality vehicles…
Times changed……..US automakers didn’t.
It’s the best example of lousy leadership you will ever find. They hoped the name would sell the vehicles…..what they didn’t count on was foreign cars being better quality and the public expecting that quality for the outrageous price the auto companies charge for the vehicles.
Some execs should have been fired years ago……they did it to themselves and continue to do so.
Most people I know who went from American made to foreign did so for the quality, not the price of the vehicle. People will pay for quality……US autos just don’t have it!
For Mike: I was a true blue Chevy person. Never owned anything but Chevies. When I went from a full size van to a mid size SUV, we went with a Ford Explorer. I had it for two years and it was in the shop five times. I was left stranded because the motor wouldn’t crank after having the vehicle for 3 WEEKS! The back seat was so hard and uncomfortable, everyone complained about taking the vehicle anywhere long distance (I’m talking over an hour!) It was the first vehicle I had ever owned that I didn’t keep for 10 years.
I traded for a Nissan and now everyone is happy………and after two years, still no problem. I went with Nissan because the package included things i wanted and couldn’t even have the option of getting on a Ford or GM product. People are not going to spend $40,000 on a vehicle that they don’t like or doesn’t have the options they want. All vehicles cost a lot. Consumers just decide what is worth the money they are paying out. If you find it in a Ford or GM, I’m happy for you. I couldn’t.
