Mitsubishi is a bad one to judge by. Aside from this, there's: In what was referred to as "one of the largest corporate scandals in Japanese history", Mitsubishi was twice forced to admit to systematically covering up defect problems in its vehicles. Four defects were first publicised in 2000, but in 2004 it confessed to 26 more going back as far as 1977, including failing brakes, fuel leaks and malfunctioning clutches -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_Motors#Historical_troubles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_Motors#Historical_t... Basically, I don't trust them further than I can throw them. Besides, this latest scandal goes back 25 years, and we definitely have made large strides in fuel economy over that time. (Though much of the gain has been offset by things like increasing vehicle weight for safety & comfort)
