Unheard of? You best do some Googling. This has been the way since at least the 60's.

Here are a few of the best ones from over the years..... 1978 Ford Pinto, 69-71 GM engine mounts, 78-80 Ford F-series and so on.

It is cheaper for these companies to pay out a few court cases than pay out for recalls. They WILL ALWAYS lay low until they are forced to do otherwise.

Today just look at all the lives these cars are taking or endangering due to unsafe vehicles and the makers know it, but are only interested in how much they can make.

It's a complex machine with literally hundreds of different parts that could fail and leave you in danger. On top of that, it's at least 8 years old.

So yeah, thank God everytime you make it home safe and get over it.

Never had a car with so many problems? You haven't had many cars then. I must admit that my GP is one of the best cars I have ever had.

I have been in the automotive industry for almost 30 years now, and trust me, what you see now is no different from the past/present/future. The only thing is that in this day and age, you hear more about it, and of course we have more vehicles on the road. This is how it is and will be probably for the rest of our time.

To me, this recall is a joke. Of course a leaking valve cover can cause a fire. How many POS vehicles are on the road with leaking valve covers? And never have fires? Keep your vehicle maintained and you won't have fire!

And sorry I mis-interpreted your statement of " This was unheard of until today's time". Seems like I read and replied correctly from this side of the screen. Thanks for making it clear what you meant the second time around.

Endangering lives how? You mean like Toyota's "unintended acceleration" that turned out to be user error 99.999999% of the time, but that wasn't covered by the media. Or GM's ignition issue? People need to learn what to do in case when situations arise while on the road. The problem is people panic and make bad decisions that could cost them their own lives, or worse yet someone else's.
