Do these lists only include American engines or are all manufacturers considered?

I had the Chevy 2.2, it wasn't a bad motor, got great mileage in my S-10. My grandfather has a 2.2 Turbo Dodge Caravan, and he loves it.

I had a Vega for my first car - what a turd that was!

I think the only real reason you see all US made engines or US desigs even is because the japanese track record is simply so much better overall. I really cant think of any failures in the jap products that arent attributed to stupid.

A magazine like Popular Hot Rodding bagging on American motors.......Who woulda thought?

1974 - 1983 was the darkest period for the Big Three. Total crap quality all across the board. They were still stuck on the mentality that Americans would buy whatever they built.

The only japanese blunder I can think of is the recent camshaft failures in the toyota tundra. It was a small amount of failures and Toyota took care of them.

Other then engines, Toyota has a campaign running right now to buy back tacomas at 1.5X blue book if the frame has significant rust on it. There is a VIN range thats affected. I forget what it is.

Even before I read the article, I had picked out 6 of the engines involved!

My Toyota was part of that, although it was not rusted....Here are the related links on that:
