Not a criticism at all, just a fact. Bought a very defective new Camaro years ago, replaced it with another GM product after 6 months. This is just one example, in 67 years most everything I ever bought on a continuing basis I've had defective ones at one time or another. You correct you have the right (luxury) "well maybe", of not using them, no problem, go for it.
Comparison ridiculous? Well thats your opinion.
I really guess what I was trying to point out was just because a company has a defective run, and we know they corrected the problem, then why not purchase, but as you point out that is your choice.
