I'm from Detroit (Motor City). As you know we make alot of the cars, as well as the parts that go in them here. Thats one good thing about living here. If you're ever fukked up, and down bad you can hit the plants and make some good money. I've never worked for the big 3, but I've worked for a few Tier-1 suppliers. I've transported cars as well.
-- I've never worked for the big 3, but have friends and family who do. Ford, and GM has this issue, but not like Chrysler. I've seen countless videos of people drinking (str8 out the bottle) on the line. Not to mention other drugs(alot of pill heads, weed of course, and coke )Matter of fact there's people who serve liquor in the plant. So your car was must certainly built by some folks under the influence. There are like 3,000 people on one shift, so if you have a GF/wife who works in a plant its a good chance she's getting fukked by a nikka on her shift.
-- I worked for supplier called brose. They make seats for different cars. For example, I was on the line that made the seats for the wrangler(gladiator too), Ram 1500, Acura MDX, and a few more. I dont know if you guys know but your seat staying together in an accident is one of the things that keeps you alive. The screws and bolts that hold the seat and motors (that make your seat move) come with a special adhesive that holds it together. Everything is hooked up to computers as well. So all u have to do is put the screw is and it does the rest. If you get an error, you're supposed to discard the screw and use a new one since the adhesive is gone, BUT my co workers never did that. They used the same ones. Also if you got 3 errors on one seat you were supposed to scrap it. BUT THEY NEVER scrap them. They just by pass the computer. So I'm almost positive some people have gotten seriously hurt or maybe worse because of people who care more about numbers and money.
-- I also worked at a place called TREMEC. They have some of the best transmissions around. They make transmissions for the McClaren, Mustang Shelby 350, One of the Maserati's, and customs ones as well. When I was there I was making the transmission for the new mid-engine Corvette that just came out 2 years ago. If you have this car I'm about 85% positive you will have issues with you're transmission issues at some point. People were driving off the lot and the transmission was failing immediately. We would only be able to make 2-3 parts (if that) a day before an issue would shut the line down. I played UNO more then I worked there. None of the engineers, and higher up could figure out what was wrong. GM was threating to come take over at a certain point. I left because I couldn't take stress that went on with that place. 7 days/10 hour shifts sometimes 12. My body was starting to shut down. Haven't stepped foot in a plant since.
-- Transporter-- Your car already has a bunch of miles on it before you bought it(yes brand new) Once it comes off of the line there's a group of about 10 people (depending on company) to move your car to a lot where it has to pass inspections and wait to be shipped. These yards can be 10 mins away, or it could be a hour away. I use to transport F-150s(Mustangs, and Lincolns too). They had the Coyote 5.0 engines in them so when you throw it in sport mode its pretty much a big ass Mustang. We use to race all day every day. if we went to a big lot we was doing doughnuts in your shyt. Somebody probably got fukked in your shyt as well( its been stories of customers finding condom wrappers after leaving the dealership). And yes we smacked your shyt around ( thats why your order was delayed) Not gonna lie I came nd smack a couple times but I held it down. My co-workers couldnt do the same. One last thing. Them big yards with 100s of new cars sitting in them have the keys inside and are unlocked. Sometimes the title.
This just a few off the top of my head
