Crap? I suppose it depends on your perspective, but what the OP is referring to are a slew of poorly maintained cars that happen to be crossfires. A major contributing factor to this are people like myself who took their cars to the dealer to get fixed and realized, too late in my case, that the dealer is the wrong place to go for these cars. I eventually ended up selling my car because of the dealer's complete disregard for my car. My crossfire used to be a nice vehicle but when I got rid of it, I was happy to move on.

Contrary to popular opinion, anyone who advertises their car as dealer maintained probably has a current or near future basket case on their hands.
