It comes with no surprise that US automakers are once again reporting lower numbers, lower sales, slashing expectations and are generally feeling rather glum.  We are surprised on a daily basis at the number of quality issues in lemon law cases from Ford, General Motors and Chrysler. So no wonder their numbers are down.

The cases come in all shapes and sizes, from leaking roofs, to transmission failures, to electrical malfunctions.  You name it, the big three make it, and make it poorly.  Overall, U.S. auto sales in the first quarter tumbled 8% from a year ago and the Big Three continued to lose market share as their sales fell even more than their competitors.
