Ok , Now my neighbor's daughter was killed in a relativly minor pinto rear end collision and the bumper collasped and punctured the gas tank and she is gone at 17 years of age burned up. She is gone !! Ford denied any negligence in engineering design from a legal standpoint.
All consumers are not perfect, (tire inflation)tread separation, sidewall failure,etc. but when the jaws of life are prying someone you care about or their body from the vehicle it tends to stir up emotion.
i would never buy a fireblown tire ill stick to michelins.
Now the auto companys have never made a perfect vehicle or they would never wear out or break. unforseen happens.
wonder why my service manager said the 10 model dodge comes with these severe filters now if they are not needed? whats 800 a month for sixty months when its in the shop waiting for parts for mickey mouse preventable BS that should be preventable at a minor costing revision.
We have no control over fuel quality at the pumps and it kinda like rolling dice,just lookin at a pump filter sticker now?
The quicky mart is dicey,and money is tight fuel is at 2.70 a gallon here, but i will install another filter set .
Every Cat, Cummins, Detroit,Volvo,Mann, Mercedes,Atlas diesel engine/industrial,construction,OTR, or marine has a or multiple inline prefilter water separators, before the engine secondary filter, every boat has one for each engine, marine fuel is subject to more condensation due to storage and transport tank issues which is a perfect example why they are installed. to protect equipment from parts failure, Ask any master mechanic or fleet service manager.
Building trucks is all about controlling costs and keeping a competitive price point with the competition not about protecting the consumer, you get what you pay for and nothing else .
Selling parts and labor is keeping the few dealers alive that are struggling in this economy to keep and retain the best qualified mechanics who earn real wages to pay bills . its not there fault. But production designs, cost cutting, accounting affects all vehicle quality longevity and durability it is not a perfect world and attrition is evident.
