For your Mississippi plant has now screwed you for at least 3 years!

Four of the five vehicles made there landed at the bottom of the Consumer Reports reliability list.
That wasn't the kind of publicity then-Governor Ronnie Musgrove had in mind in May 2003. That's when the first vehicle rolled off the one-point-four (b) billion dollar plant's assembly line.
What many car buyers are hearing from Consumer Reports, a publication of the nonprofit Consumers Union, is to stay away from four vehicles produced at Canton -- the Armada sport utility, Quest minivan, Titan pickup truck, and Infiniti Q-X-5-6 luxury S-U-V.
Each was rated below average in reliability in a study released late last year.
A spokesman for Consumer Reports is calling it a wake-up call for Nissan.
Nissan says the flaws do NOT affect vehicle safety.
, most of the problems occurring in vehicles today are related to the electronics-which is typically an automated process. The other problem is that everything other than engines aren't built worth a damn anymore, they're built with a "just enough" mentality to improve efficiency.
