Settle Down!

Even though we all want perfect cars, even the BEST for quality have a certain number of defects per car or per hundred cars or whatever. Think about the number of parts etc, and for every one to be perfect is close to statistically impossable.

I'm not saying this to say that you shouldn't be dissapointed because your new car has an issue, but really, it's not like you're in the hospital or anything.

And I've been in one over a MC accident, so this advice is from someone who knows....

It's driving me crazy. I've had more problems with my '05 MCS in one year than all the cars I've owned put together. As neat as the car is, it is an inferior product.

I'm very interested to hear about this wheel bearing problem. I think my car has a bad one, but I'm not sure. Can you explain a little more or give me a link to a thread that talks about this issue?

Thank you.
