I totally agree with the original poster. As I have said before If you buy a new car you don't expect it to have 4 wobbly wheels and a dodgy engine when you buy it. You certainly don't expect them to say "ok, come in in two months time and we will put some test tyres and a test engine in it until February and then hopefully we will give you the real thing then. By the way though a new model comes out in September!"
That's FM in a nutshell!

You might not expect it, but that's exactly what does happen. When you buy a new car, a new issue of a model or a entirely new production vehicle, you run the risk that the car is full of bugs. For example, an old issue of a popular car had, when bought as new, the possibility that the stereo would short out; the air conditioning would fail; the brakes would leak fluid; the brakes would fail; the passenger air bag would randomly deploy; the exhaust would drop off; the chassis crack; the engine to rattle and the fuel tank to corrode. This was on a new model of a car that had been in production for several years.
And this is common.
So the manufacturers 'patch' the vehicles until the next issue of the model, where they hope to have ironed out their bugs.
Car analogies don't work.
(Never buy a brand new model of a car and expect it to be perfect, and when buying used, check with the AA for all the recall notices issued on that model and vin number.) </BLOCKQUOTE>
