When we're talking about car companies not standing behind their products, Mitsubishi always comes to mind. Back in the early-ish 2000s they would send "spies" out to automotive events to record VINs of Evos which were attending - even those in the parking lot not participating. Warrantee work would later be denied. I somewhat understand the concept of denying warrantee work when they can prove that the car was not used in a sanctioned manner...but then, what else is an Evo made for, if not to have the snot flogged out of it? It really sullied my view of Mitsubishi.people as into their cars as Evo owners will talk, and talk negatively when something like this happens.

On the flip side, my parents had a pair of VWs leased new in 2000. The dealership was very gracious in going above and beyond to stand by the vehicles they sold. If I ever had any doubts about getting a VW (and I do), that dealership did VW a huge service by crafting loyalty. I wouldn't have hesitated to take delivery of a VW from that dealer.
