I didn’t hear anyone dispute that this announcment was a way for SF to swing their weight around the public forums,as they appear readily proud to do. (Big doesn’t necessarily mean good).
As an IA, I compete with the so-called “Big Red” every day. I match them by price, and blow away their watered-down coverage forms on a regular basis.
I would suspect you responders sticking up for SF are inside people at one of their closer competitors who employ captive agents that peddle their limited product portfolios.
I am auto agent, Texas. Brother has 2004 Prius…Also has St. Farm. exited car in driveway…car kept going slowly…jumped into vehicle…slammed on brake…car accelerated drastically into garage, crashing into other car pushing into and thru back garage…12000 covered 14000 uncovered…at the time 3 years ago, there were web articles about similar losses…St farm took under advisement..no action…so, I gather they have been collecting info…This makes sense with their desire to “take over the world” mentality…lowering standards to get production up to snuff…and still be electronically superior
I own a chrysler 300c. It is a 2006 and has only been in the shop for a leaky transmission drain plug. I get 25 miles to the gallon on the hwy, and 13 in town and it has 348 horse power. First non GM car I ever bought and still have no problems now, or in the past.
Japanese auto buyers are part of the economic problem in this country since the 60’s and always have something negetive about American cars. Keep our dollars in this country and tou will see better products. Send it overseas and you will see what you get for a cheap price.
I would buy an American car….if they wern’t such huge pieces of crap. I have gone through 3 Ford’s and a Chevy. They all sucked! The gear shifter on my 87 Ranger kept on popping out of the socket everytime I went into 3rd gear. Still under warrenty, I took it into the dealer and they said they fixed it but the third month into it, the shifter started getting loose again. Finaly one day it just popped out of the socket and left me stuck in 2nd gear.
Fords are the biggenst pile of junk on the road and I’ll never buy one again.
My wife and I have 2 Toyota’s and just bought a 07 Honda Civic this weekend. My Tacoma has just over 215,000 miles on it and still runs as strong as the day I took it off the show room floor. Our Accord has 165,000 miles and still going strong. No major problems or shop time at all.
I don’t get it, we can build a space shuttle but we can’t make a car worth a sh*t.
Don’t get me wrong, I think Toyota makes the best foreign car out there, but are they really better. I know someone that loves their toyota and says it’s run great and it’s the best car, blah blah blah. Well the funny thing is, he put a new transmission in it, outside of warranty. Been in the shop a couple of times for problems. I own a Honda Civic. Motor runs descent but the rest of it is junk. $400 for the power window, $400 for the power door locks, $250 for the oil pan leaking, $100 for upper motor mount, back door lock still needs repair, timing belt is due, should I go on…? Owned Nissans, motor problems in truck, major rattles in both, especially the Armada. Transmission lines have leaked twice on Armada and never took it off road, back window defrost broke, brake problems due to rotors for over a year until they recalled them, radio recall, third brake light stopped working. Seen other Armada’s on the road and their’s don’t work either. Bought a GMC truck. Owned over a year now. Great truck!! I might take it by the shop just so it knows what one looks like. LOL So when people say Foreign is better, asked what they’ve had repaired. A transmission is pretty expensive and I’ve known Honda Van owners that have had new transmissions put in. I do agree with the one poster that said, they were good before American’s put them together. Out of all the foreign vehicles I’ve owned, the only one without a problem was the Japanese based Honda. So buy American unless you find that diamond in the ruff Japanese built one. Look for the J in the VIN.
For years the BIG 3 made hunks of junk. I remember seeing rusty cars at dealerships. When more and more people started buying Toyota, Honda, Nissan, etc., the BIG 3 came to realize they need to improve thier product b/c consumers have options now. I prefer to buy American, but in the end, all I want is a car that’s reliable
If they thought it was so important, why wait two years to say we told you so and the gov’t did nothing? Get real Kip, everyone is tired of State Farm’s BS
Allan, I change the oil every 3,000 miles and get all my work done at the dealership as they know the cars best. Oh, on my civic the check engine light is on 90% of the time. They think it’s something with a sensor in the gas tank area, so if I want them to pull the exhaust, gas tank and tear it apart to replace the sensors, I can fork out more hundreds of dollars. I take very good care of my cars. Actually when people would see my 2000 Civic they thought it was brand new, well until recently now that the paint is fading badly (garaged park and covered at work).

TXlady and CY, they do write separate policies for each auto in certain states.

Makes me think twice about wanting to ride The Bullet Train when I visit Japan next year.
