Doors That Catch Fire... Brakes That Fail and Accelerators That Stick. Oh My.

Wow... Chrysler recalls nearly 600,000 vehicles. Gee, ya think?

Seems like Chrysler has taken a page out of the success saga that has been Toyota- but it took a page from one of the later volumes. Wha, whaaaaaa.

(Okay, bad joke.)

But I'll tell you what isn't a joke (well, it actually was a joke...) I sold Chryslers about six years ago now- and about the only thing that differentiated us at all (in a positive way) were two cars- the 300 and the Town & Country minivan.

Forget the 300- it was a fad.

Without those two vehicles then, in 2004/2005- Chrysler didn't have a product. Now, one of them- the Town & Country could develop a short in the automatic sliding doors- that could catch fire.

Just what you want to hear when you're thinking about a safe family van.

Jeeps Wranglers which brakes may fail- and Dodge Calibers whose accelerators are going the way of Toyota's.

But now Chrysler is run by Fiat- and I like the fact that they're instilling that Fiat quality they were renowned for back when America drove Fiats.

Okay, that was also a joke too. But the joke isn't funny anymore. Time for some Morrissey.



Chrysler- try not to kill yourselves.
