Chrysler to cut 2000 jobs in Canada
"They can't make and engine or transmission that last, and people who
work hard for their money are shopping around"
That's a quote I heard on the radio this morning.
Is this true about Jeeps? Are Jeep transmissions not lasting? It seems
to me Hyundai trannys were the faulty ones in the industry. Somebody
jump in here and re-assure me.

Re: Chrysler to cut 2000 jobs in Canada
There is no doubt Chrysler has some reliability problems. The last
several years they have focused on "cute" instead of reliable. I have
been a MoPar person since 1970 when I purchased my first Plymouth, and
maintain quite a few older MoPars that I wouldn't trade for any other.
Regretfully, they abandoned me in 1989 when they ceased production of
Rear Wheel Drive cars. Their Front Drivers are considered throw away
cars by the repair industry. Jeep managed to escape the "bean
counters" until Chrysler was taken over by Mercedes a few years back,
however all of their newer products have abandoned the "Jeep Concept".
They are slapping "JEEP" stickers on anything with wheels in an
attempt to sell "cutsie vehicles" to the same city folks as the Hummer
H2 and H3.
As for staff reductions, I am sure Union Contracts are responsible for
forced "over staffing" by the Big Three here in America. However, I
will not purchase anything vehicle that does not have a GM, Ford or
Chrysler Logo. Everyone needs to understand that just because honda,
toyota or hyundai may be built here, the PROFITS go back to their HOME
country! Every time one of your neighbors buys a non-domestic, they
are hurting us and our children!
Sorry about the "rant"!

Ummmm. You're probably not aware that the Ford Five Hundred -- soon to be
rebadged as the Ford Taurus -- is built on a Volvo frame.
