Why has the United States made awesome weapons of war but defective untrustworthy cars?
I guess defective war equipment is corrected or replaced with better items at tax payer expense. No lost profits for the manufacturers of rifles, jets, bombs, missiles, ect, when up grading and perfecting them. But automobile makers do not want to stand by their products for the most part, and fix defects in design or craftmanship. The owners are left hanging, with the repair cost. Why is there much more trust in Japanese, German, and Korean built cars? What has the American auto makers done wrong? Are they too tight with their money to repair defects on their own? We have to hire lawyers and get class action suits to make them do what is right when defects show up. Example: the Pinto, the car that burst into flames at rear end impacts due to a design flaw that Ford knew about; the poor transmissions in Dodge full sized trucks, ect. The USA beat the Japanese, and could still have done it with out the Atomic bombs, but yet Japan and China are currently kicking the butt of the United States by taking almost all of the manufacturing jobs and buying up America piece by piece. How can a country survive if it's people lose all manufacturing jobs and Tech Support jobs? I mean any job that can be done by computer can be sent ANYWHERE in the world where the pay is low and the worker's benefits are non-existent. An high ranking executive officer went on Dave Letterman's Show and admitted, (with out being asked), that the United States Auto makers made lousy cars in the 1970's and 1980's. I am not making this up. It is most likely on You Tube by now or some other internet source.

Your opinion of defective untrustworthy cars is ridiculous and completely made up by you

Yes it's sad for Americans but happy for the Japanese. So its all down to whos who. =]

Because we've mis-allocated our budget to super high-tech war machines that we will never get the opportunity to use, rather than basic necessities like body armor for our troops. Did you know we have a device that uses microwaves to cause intense pain without actually doing any physical damage? And it works within a 20 foot radius! Isn't that useful? [end sarcasm]

the american military and it's equipment are not all it's made out to be. special effects from hollywood are nice but this isn't reality. it's been 8 years and they can't stop rock throwing muslims.
5 :
Car manufacturers make these cars so they are supposed to break down so then people come back and buy new cars from them. Its their type of business and your right, it is ridiculous and pathetic. It just shows that that is how America is now days and if anyone thinks that America is the greatest country on earth still then they have another thing coming. The only good thing about America is being able to say what I just said with going to jail or getting assassinated.

The weapons manufactures are nonunion.In addition they have the ability to refuse those workers with a criminal history.Better workforce= higher quality outflow.
