cough cough* if this were a Toyota article I would expect the replies to be something along the lines of... "It doesn't say any have actually happened, therefore the article is crap!" But since it's a Chrysler article, I expect the following reaction "Not surprising, Chrysler is still in the gutter in terms of engineering."

Is that why the Dodge Viper ACR beats just about every car on earth around a track?

actually I think it would have been the opposite. Everyone would run to bash Toyota and 009 would have submitted the article.

The Range rover! are you mad! That does NOT even come with off road tires or locking differentials in the front and rear axles or have any where near as much ground clearance or the approach and departure angles! For Christ sakes man the Range Rover comes with freaking Running boards that will get ripped off in Green level 1 or 2 most trails I go on!

It's not bad engineering it's lack of attention to detail and some quality control issues after the fact...the engineers are not to blame as much as you think!

No crashes or injuries related to this problem and the assembly line workers found and noted the issue along with low volume. Nip it in the bud.
