      British Leyland comes to mind for the granddaddy of all terrible mergers. In hindsight, Queen Elizabeth, herself, should have forbade its creation AND forced the existing British Motor Holdings to disband and restore Pressed Steel and other captive entities to individual corporations as they were before. Harold Wilson was among the worst PM's and contributed his part to run British auto manufacturing into the ground.

    Toyota Motor is recalling 381,199 Toyota Tacoma trucks with model years 2022 and 2023 in the US over a brake performance issue that increases the risk of a crash.
    The problem stems “welding debris left on the ends of the rear axle assembly during manufacturing,” which may lead to an axle shaft separation, Toyota said in a notice on Tuesday.
    The auto manufacturer said that affected customers will be notified via mail by late April 2024.

I've been charging my car in my garage for almost 6 years. I've also been charging my phones and laptops inside my house for the last 20 years😮 but none of them have caught fire.

    We already know what the results will probably be of this possible merger, since it has happened before. Nissan being the sad example. Over the years I owned 4 Nissan cars and trucks. Mainly because Nissan cars at one time were on par with Toyota and Honda for design and build quality and reliability.
    Then in 1999, Renault bought/merged/acquired Nissan (and Mitsubishi, and Infiniti).
    Nissan quality, is now on par with Renault quality. Now I own Toyota and Lexus instead.

      So far have had the hi-pressure hose PS replaced, valve cover gaskets, CVT axles done.
      Not sure how much the Nissan-Renault-Mitsubishi partnership impinges on Nissan's actual engineering of their vehicles, but I'll never buy one again unless they start focusing like Toy/Hon on mechanical engineering and reliability vs looks.
      Nissan's Jatco CVTs are still crap after 20+ years, yet Toyotas and anything later than gen1 Honda CVT are close to bullet-proof in comparison. Nissan has known this for decades, and has spent hundreds of millions on extending warranties to help band-aid over the fact vs just doing the right thing and engineering something respectable and attainable as witnessed by Toy/Hon.
