I know I know I knooooooow Just joshin' around...

That's a fairly attractive automobile.

Yeah, let's trust Bosch to clean up diesel... They're the ones who made whatever components for VW to "pass" emissions.

I'd upvote you but I have maxed that out apparently. So, here's this: ??

So should be Silverados stalling out in 100 degree weather or using breaks if you turn the steering wheel all the way. Let's criticize them then for not recalling and only making TSBs for it. You can find any specific circumstance for any part failure to become an injury if you want to. Nah. You can find and post if you'd like though.

I never insinuated they were the top dog. Just that everybody has them so it isn't something you should hold over one company that much more than another. Not really. You said GM recalls more and Toyota avoids things like this with TSBs while GM is also using TSBs. I completely agree with everybody that they(truck tailgates) should be able to handle a substantial amount of weight but I don't think it should be a SAFETY recall.

As little as 150lbs isn't a small amount, imo. That just doesn't seem like the kind of thing for a safety recall, imo. Standing on the tailgate probably already has warnings and such saying you probably shouldn't be doing it anyway. This sounds equally as dangerous as a tailgate falling off. It's for the 2017 Silverado.

Honestly, the seat bolt potentially coming lose is more serious than anything with a tailgate. Brake like seems more serious but if you're in an accident and you get rear ended at least your seat belt is working. Recall vs TSB

Those probably don't deal with human safety, I'd assume. Something can fail on a car and them want it fixed without being a safety recall.

Yeah it definitely is not tucked in like the E and S Class' are... I like the theme. It's simple and clean to me. As long as one of the screens doesn't go out, lol. Granted, if any screen on any car goes out you're in big trouble, nobody is excluded from that group!

To me it doesn't really look like it's on that dash as much as it looks like an extended instrument cluster like a scaled down S or E Class.

I thought that was a very neat number as well.

So I'm supposed to doubt companies who have a lot of recalled vehicles?

HATCHBACKS FTW!

Correct but that's anything but dirt cheap for a car that size.

Wow, they have gotten similar with this new gen of Camry.

This is floating to you? So it should be roomier than the CLA while being a tad shorter overall(assuming it is largely in part of longer wheelbase)?

I converted the length here to what's on MB's US site and our current CLA is an inch longer overall. This thing not in "L" form must be TINY!

Yeah, 7 inches seems like quite a bit as well. Nice.

I wouldn't call anything with a starting price in the US of $32,700 "dirt cheap".

Leaving the factory the Tacoma did indeed have a rust free frame.. Point being, you should dislike all auto companies if you think a few recalls make a company look like they don't know how to engineer their vehicles. Should GM have coated their frames better to not rust as well? Nah, we'll turn a blind eye to them..

For a massive loss.. I'm not sure if that's really paying it back but yes, it was "paid back". And shouldn't simple things like using the correct bolts or correct welding? "General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and 2016 Cadillac Escalade, Cadillac Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Sierra, GMC Yukon and GMC Yukon XL vehicles. The front upper control arms may have inadequate welds near the control arm bushing." It happens. The important thing is these major manufacturers are taking care of it. None of them are innocent so there's no good reason to hold one above the others.

That's like saying you're completely turned off by the whole GM ignition switch situation which is way worse of a recall. I don't mind recalls. Every company has them and they're taking care of a problem. Interesting article in 2016 when we were in peak recall times. http://wardsauto.com/industry/best-and-worst-automaker-recall-rates
