The old brand loyalty thing...again, I see. Why I ask myself.

BTW, ALL manufacturers are having difficulty with airbag malfunction...including Ford.

Here's an example.

Even more interesting Ford airbag recalls

Why would you leave your brand out of the spot light? :h

Chrysler Recall

Chrysler is not my brand. Never had one. But I'm certainly interested in considering one, next time I buy a new vehicle.

Just have had Ford, GM, Toyota, Volvo and VW in my near 50 years of ownership. Mostly GM, Ford and VW.

My point is...ALL vehicles are experiencing big recalls, not just GM...but all of them. I felt your focus on GM...alone..in a thread dedicated to a GM truck winning the MT truck of the year...was a brand loyal move. I could be wrong and please correct me, if I'm wrong, but that was my interpretation.

You will find that now and continuing in the future, federally mandated recalls...from all manufacturers will increase....due to regulatory authorities playing hardball, with increased fines and penalties, to any manufacturer that fails to heed and implement recall procedures.

I believe as a result, of increased enforcement and potentially stiffer penalties, there will be a lot more Ford, GM, Mopar Honda, Toyota, etc...recalls. IMO, there's nothing wrong with recalls. It's good for the consumer if faults are publicized and repaired by the manufacturer responsible.

Sounds like me to some point...never owned a Dodge/Ram pick up truck until middle of 2010, though I have owned Chrysler cars, but before I ever owned a Dodge/Ram truck, only trucks I ever owned were all Chevy's....Cars?, Toyota, Honda, Jeep, Volvo, Renault, Nissan, Chevy's, Buicks, and again, Dodge and Chrysler's all from 1968 through today. Also forgot a couple of Mitsubishi's in there an a Mazda....never owned a Ford...not that I didn't want one, loved the Thunderbirds and all the Mustangs:)....just never worked out...

re-call's, from all I've seen over the last 10- 15 years has hit them all...I've seen them on BMW and Mercedes to name a few and we're just talking about the lowly "Big three here":B
