You're demonstrating the problem with speaking overly generally.
I too "find it within the realm of acceptable that a $30,000 car would have issues that should absolutely not be present on a $100,000 car". If, say, a plastic piece on the dashboard tends to develop an unsightly crack over time, that's more ok for a $30k car than for a $100k car.
But some design issues should be present on no car; not a $30k car, not a $100k car, not a $5k car. "The car sometimes accelerates on its own" is one of these.
- notaustinpowers 3y agoYou're absolutely right, it is unacceptable for any car to unintentionally accelerate. But one of these issues being "our cheap floor mats move" when compared to "our $100,000 truck's fake pedal covers are made so cheaply that they break" showcases this disparity a helluva lot more.
- mort96 3y agoIt's certainly more embarrassing for the $100k car than for the $30k car, but neither is "within the realm of acceptable".
- notaustinpowers 3y agoTrue, I misspoke regarding "within the realm of acceptable". That's on me
- hermitdev 3y agoI have a hellcat redeye, approximately one of your $100k cars. I've thoroughly enjoyed the car in the nearly 2 years I've owned it. But, I'm barely over 6,000 miles, and I've killed 2 batteries and just had the starter replaced and a loose ground (fixed/replaced under warranty). The loose ground may not have been a factory defect: I had to have the wiring harness replaced after some rodents chewed through some of the wiring...
- FireBeyond 3y agoDodge probably also isn't a paragon of quality. And I will preface this by saying that Audi isn't without fault either, but my also $100Kish RS 5 has in two years had two issues: a battery failure (determined to be a battery fault, not a vehicle fault), and improper drainage in one of the doors, leading to an accumulation of water, that had a tech advisory to add an additional drainage hole.
