They had the fit and finish QC types you mention, nearly as many as the line workers, each with the ability to stop the line at any moment to correct issues, pretty cool but I'd be nervous to be the first on my shift to hit the panic button. |
Yes the majority of the plants I have been in were U/CAW plants (not gonna say who they are but there are 3 of them and they are Big) but a couple were not.
Have spent quite a bit of time in some plants for a company that we all know well and yes their damage/QC issues are some of the lowest there is. But "lowest" and "none" are two different matters.
My whole point is simply that things happen, they get fixed and nobody knows (nor cares) in a vast majority of the cases.
In the OP's case something happened the dealer fixed it and everybody that are getting all bent of shape over it just don't seem to understand this is run of the mill crap.
I would be overjoyed to know I had a dealer that stepped up to the plate and said "we screwed up and are fixing it" instead of one that said "well...ummm... parts are gonna be a couple more days sorry".
