Peter, I agree that this is serious & should not have happened but I also would say that it's not a "horrific build quality" issue that others accuse American car manufacturers of.
And for the record, our last three new Chrysler products, a Dodge truck and two Jeeps have had zero manufacturing defects & the newest of the here is now a little over one year old! But our youngest Son's new Honda also had no defects. Except for the occasional reported Quality issue, modern cars are amazingly defect free. Anyone reporting "horrific build quality" issues against any major auto manufacturer, particularly an American manufacturer, is delivering a huge load of horse sh*t!!!!! That's why I challenged Curt to "go to a Ford, GM and Chrysler dealer and find any new car build quality issues & then report them, in detail, to this list!". He won't be able to.

Qualifies as build quality issue to me, bad design and known to be so, but shipped anyway for the dealer to fix when the customer complained.
