A window motor that acts up, and the rear defroster doesn't work. I guarantee both are foreign made electrical parts.
And there you go. I have owned 7 Fords and haven't had any issues. I wouldn't touch a Chrysler made product with a 10-foot pole. I feel about the same with GM, but they are definitely way ahead of Chrysler. All that said, I'd buy a Toyota, Honda, Subaru, or Hyundai before any of the aforementioned.

Yes, they have. Again, though, they're in a position of their own making, both in public perception as well as actual product performance.

Again, I have no real issue with Fords.

You're probably right, but do you think these components would be better if they were American-made? Electronics, traditionally, have been the foreign (particularly Asian) strong suit. All components like those will have some inevitable failures, either based on time or just the incidental defect in production. It happens.
