The head of DarCars dealerships, which sells about 8 different auto
brands, including Toyota, Nissan, Ford, Dodge, Chevy, Kia, and Volvo,
said none of the American companies has ever been nearly as quick and
responsive to a recall. In comparison, Ford "fixed" one problem with
transmissions shifting into drive or reverse due to vibration or door
slams by sending out warning stickers, rather than make any real
repairs (no, I don't excuse idiots who fail to use the parking brake).
