As an aside how much has social media influenced the relationship of manufacturers to the customers with poor product reliability?
How many of the 1930's 3-wheelers are still running? And perhaps by definition of history they were the "good-uns". They survived because they were good and perhaps give us a false sense of the quality in the 1930's.
The "bad-uns" may have dropped out long ago, but in a time where customers could not compare stories and the responses of the MMC to their complaints.
Doesn't make it right or wrong, but just another level of complexity of modern-life that manufacturers have to cope
