I can clearly see why the new 5 is on that list. My co-worker has a 530i and already had power steering problems.

Thanks flip for inlin'ing the pics.
It's basically a gallery of all modern European cars.![Egads!](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/pat.gif)
It's funny that the filenames of those car images all end with "feat". Yep, what a feat that is.

Your co-worker's 530i steering problems may be related to the complexity and electronics of its new Active Power Steering system............I responded to that in detail in an earlier thread.

I hope that they find the problem on her car, whatever it is.

this is so sad
the ultimate driving machine...
the ultimate trouble machine as well. and i love BMWs so much. but the 3 series is still good apparently...
and as long as the Mercedes Benz SL series is still good. i'm happy. i wonder how the CLS will fare.
never cared for Jags, and the Freelander was a joke anyway. shame that the Touareg is on that list--i like that car a lot.

All this doesn't prove anything, many americans and other rich folks around the world are still going to continue buying these unreliable vehicles to make their manufacturors even richer. Euros can get away with just about anything. Toyota, Honda and Nissan must be very envious, I'm very sure they wish they could overcharge on unreliable vehicles and never really have to worry about losing their customers. If Lexus' record even takes a small dip, I wonder how many of y'all will jump ship or what a field day the press and the anti-japanese fans will have..
