The 100,000 mile cliff is disappearing now. Build quality of American cars rose rapidly in the mid-2000s - for example, Ford repair rate declined nearly 50 percent between 2004 and 2009[1]. I remember reading somewhere that this was driven by accounting improvements that arose from the Enron scandal but I can't find the source now.
