Aston Martin Recalls 75% Of All Cars Produced Since 2007

Isn't this a second major issue with a Chinese supplier? I think the first was much more widespread with airbags in Hondas and Toyotas, but I could be wrong.

That was American. Get your facts straight.

This is the reason why the European cars are unreliable.

And yet, there are morons on this website who think Lexus, the maker of the most reliable luxury cars in the entire world can not be put in the same sentence as Rolls-Royce and Bentley. I wonder how many Made in China parts those overrated Euro junk use?

I'm sure BMW and Mercedes use a lot of Made in China parts, as their car quality itself is as Made in Germany as Made in China.

I'm glad Lexus is no longer worried about the whole sales figure, but rather, trying to establish themselves as the true luxury brand, something even better than Rolls-Royce and Bentley.

I bet those Euro worshippers are crying in their beds, as they did not know Aston Martin used Made in China parts Hahahahahaha

Can someone please raise some funds to have this guy's mental health evaluated? seriously

Aww don't cry now.

And the truth hurts, doesn't it? I know it does.

I would much rather take Lexus, which is the pinnacle of luxury, and at the same time, shows the true Japanese craftsmanship.

....than taking this overpriced Made in China junk.

The Japanese should just make a supercar that costs 200k, and we all know they will make the best supercar in the world. Starting from NSX, now GT-R and LFA.

Do you know which car is Paris Hilton's favorite? It's her Lexus LFA. She said so in one of the videos on TMZ.

But that's strange. Why not her Ferrari? Or Bentley?

Because I bet she also knows how unreliable, and overrated those junk really are, as she drove them.

And Paris Hilton is actually quite a smart individual as well. She is not as dumb as people think she is.

And not only that, LFA is truly a remarkable supercar as well.

Many Euro worshippers bashed LFA for being a Lexus, but if it had the badge of Mercedes-Benz (with Made in China parts in it LOL), I bet they would be all over it saying how beautiful the car looks. Hahahahaha

Wow I feel sorry for the Euro worshippers :(

As if Lexus/Toyota doesn't have reliability issues? Stuck gas pedal anyone? Witnessed one of those first hand. Women on her way to drop her kids off at school came barreling down the middle of the road, missing my mirror by a few inches, only to find herself crashing into 4 other cars of parents taking their kids to school. The only way she could stop was to crash head on into a woman with a 20 year old Volvo, who was so upset about losing the car she had so long. This all happened right in front of an elementry school where other kids were crossing the street. Some were taken to the hospital, but fortunately there were no major injuries.

And what did I tell you? Who was the supplier of those gas pedal parts? The American company. When do the American companies ever care about "safety"?

Ever wondered why the recalls only happened in the United States? And not in Japan?

So you blame Aston Martin for buying poor parts, but not Lexus/Toyota for doing the same thing. I get it now

You are not very good at logic I see.

Let's see. What did Aston Martin use? COUNTERFEIT, once again, FAKE, MADE IN CHINA parts.

Meaning? It really shows how poor, or cheap Aston Martin really is as a company.

And what did Toyota/Lexus do? They make their trucks in the United States (When GM, Ford and Chrysler build their trucks in MEXICO), and Toyota has done a lot to create jobs in the United States.

And what did the U.S. company do? How did they repay them? That's right, they screwed Toyota/Lexus over. Did Toyota use some "fake" parts like Aston Martin did? No.

And 75% of their cars is pretty a huge number as well. How many Toyota/Lexus cars were affected? Not a large number. Why? Because mainly the recall is for the American models, and not the Toyota/Lexus cars from Asia.

Seriously, if you are not good at using your brain, it is wise not to reply, at all.

Btw, why didn't Toyota/Lexus just simply build the cars with tons of Made in China parts? That could save them tons of cash? Why didn't they?

And by the way, how much is Aston Martin? Do you know? Oh wait, don't tell me you don't?

Do you think a company should sell their cars for 250k, when they were built with cheap parts?

And to add some more, Toyota/Lexus already paid billions of dollars for this. They at least took responsibility.

Did you know AUDI had this gas pedal issue years ago? What did Audi do? NOTHING.

Seriously, think.

When you pay something like 250k, you expect it to be engineered well with good parts.

You do not expect it to be using some Made in China parts in it.

Look at Lamborghini Veneno. It is just an Aventador (Which is already way too overpriced. But they know dumb rich people would buy it anyway haha) with chrome and funny looking design on it and they want 4 million dollars for this piece of garbage. And there were buyers, obviously.

And yet, Lexus does not make you pay tons of your hard earned money, and Lexus does not get you stranded, even. And right now, it is beginning to become the "best" luxury brand in the entire world.

But BMW, Audi and Mercedes are now competing against each other in order to sell more. Their goal, is to become the new General Motors. Produce more cars, cut prices, use more Made in China parts, but try to make the design look pretty, so that the buyers wouldn't know how badly engineered those junk really are.

When Japan had that big earthquake on 311, the German automakers were going nuts, as they were using many of Japanese parts for their cars.

Conclusion: luxury European cars = Overrated. Overpriced. Made in China quality using the actual Made in China parts.

Japanese automakers = The real automakers that care about consumers, and see the consumers as human beings.

Lexus, always.

From the guy who says the Lexus is better because its Paris Hilton's favorite car LMAO!
It's just the justification I would expect.
Its one idiots opinion justifying another idiots claims.

I think this qualifies as an epic fail.

Don't feed the trolls, gentlemen.

I respect Aston Martin for doing the right thing and getting this notice sent out immediately. But here's the deal.

75% of Aston Martins sold does NOT equal the millions that were recalled by Honda & Toyota. Honestly, if Aston Martin sold millions of cars, they could care less what they would have to do because they'd be rolling in ridiculous amounts of dough.

My problem with the LF-A is that is really overpriced for what it is. It's an engineer's wet dream. And that's fine. But not for that price. The GT-R is still a severely overpriced Nissan with launch control issues and a company that won't back it's warranty. At least with my AMG if anything goes wrong, which it usually doesn't, I know it's covered without question.

If I were to buy a mainstream car, I'd likely buy a Dart or a Charger. At least they're American made. I'm over appliance cars, aka the Camry, Corolla and the Civic.

And one more thing. Currency manipulation. That is all. Don't forget to tip your waitress.

currency manipulation Fed style with QE, if you really ant to talk about manipulation look at the Koreans, or look at the Germans hiding nehind the Euro!

I have a DB9 and the dealer contacted me already about the recall. Its one of four cars I own - I've had it a year and driven it 900 miles. Next time you goto an autoshow - bribe the guy/gal at the Aston booth to let you sit in one. Its really one of the most sublime cars out there. A bit dated perhaps, but sublime nonetheless.

No, I didn't buy it because I expected it to be as reliable as a camry. I bought it because it is beautiful and the parts that you touch are all hand-made. As Jeremy Clarkson of TopGear has said...if something is hand-made and British...you are not buying it for durability.

This recall won't take any sales out their hopper.

An embarrassment.

For the likes of Aston Martin to select dubious Chinese suppliers is an absolutely joke. Whether or not Porsche/MB/Bmw does the same is in question, but clearly Aston has lost some goodwill here.

Paris Hilton...

I have to say that I don't get it. If someone purchases an Aston Martin, I would at least hope that they got some reliability with that hand-stitched leather.

I mean, that wood and leather hand-crafted interior isn't quite so great if you're taking it in while being stranded at the side of the road.
