Chevette-nuff said! GM's attempt to get into the economy car market, and to
be cheap enough, everything was under-built.

damage due to defective bolts WORLD WIDE 7/1990

Goes along with my feelings about Japanese cars.

Suzuki Motor Corporation has determined that the Eiger automatic ATVs

ATV's? You have to be kidding. Are we going to count Briggs and Stratton,
also?

My dad had a mid 70's Plymouth that broke 2 cranks in about as many
years -
last time he ever bought a Chrysler product. Don't know if there was ever
a
recall, or it was just covered under the warrenty.

Plymouth had some major issues, during that time. Feel safe to say that
they would not be in the running for aircraft engines, AFAIAC. Was that by
chance a K car engine? Fiasco, from the word go.
