Well it was a brand new supply chain of parts from the US that created issues as well. So even if we gave them the benefit of the doubt that they did have a quality MFG process and a fundamentaly good product design, the third party suppliers of parts could not meet their standards.
I mean things like lug nuts rusted after a year, drive shafts had to be replaced multiple times and other drivetrain issues, power window motors went bad, even the engines were crapping out prematurely.
It took 3 model years for them to clear up all the problems.
