In my experience, ALL new Domestics (with some exceptions) are total POS's
My mom had a Chevy Venture that had the engine replaced after 30,000 miles under warranty, and shortly outside of it's warranty, started leaking coolant from the upper intake manifold again (which was what the original recall was for)
ECM had to be replaced because of a short in the Cam pos sensor circuit.
ETC: I could go on for hours.
And I love Chevys, which is sad.
My dads old Contour did pretty decent as far as maintenance went, but had the transmission rebuilt once and had a reoccurring trans cooler leak. Not many complaints there.
His current '08 300 Touring is by far an excellent car with no problems. It's easily once of the nicest, and smoothest cars I've ever driven.
