Look back at all of the recalls and the failures of major components in just about any manufacturer's vehicles and tell me that their "rigorous" testing works.
Here are some examples of major failures.
1. Navistar 6.0L Powerstroke engine failures
2. Navistar 6.4L Powerstroke engine failures
3. Ford 3.5L EcoBoost - carbon buildup/misfires
4. Dodge 45RFE transmission failures
5. Toyota 2.4L engine failure - excessive oil consumption
6. GM 5.3L excessive oil consumption
7. GM 4L60E transmission failures
8. Ford 5R55W transmission failures
9. Nissan Jatco CVT Transmission failures
10. Honda Accord transmission failures
11. Mini-Cooper transmission failure (lifetime transmission fluid) -

12. Cadillac Northstar engine failures
Should I continue or could it be that the manufacturers really don't know what kind of failures they're going to have until the vehicles see some use on the road?
