Indeed. I was getting gas recently and the guy across from me filling up his new 25 Sierra AT4 said “Good job choosing the Ford. This piece of **** blew the bottom out of the engine in month 3. Can’t wait to get rid of the piece of ****”.
Some people say they’ll never buy another Ram, others Ford, etc. A bad reliability experience with one product shouldn’t keep you from buying from the same brand but if customer service to fix the issue is crap it should.
Honestly just accept that if it’s human it’s going to make mistakes and if it’s a machine it’s going to break down. Negotiate a good warranty when purchasing.

This is my thinking and why I'm considering a lease over owning.
Drive it while under warranty and return it when the warranty runs out.
For us vehicles are just to go to work and back and the occasional errands.
 
My Toyota dealer has a small row of Tundras waiting on engines . Eight of them , all thirty to sixty kms and kaboom. Allegedly the engine manufacturer was missing a step rinsing out machining filings during assembly and they eat themselves. Your now seeing ads for used trucks saying “ engine swap completed” . Yikes , but they are fixing them .

I drove them all when I ordered my truck. The Sierra was my second choice and what I really didn't like about it was not the fact that their was quite a few lifter failures (I joined a few truck forums and it wasn't just an internet rumour of the issue) but that the lifters were in such short supply that they would wait until the lifters went bad, replace the lifters only on the bad side, then send the truck back out. Many owners lost their truck for weeks/months waiting for the lifters to be fixed only to have to lose it again months later when the other side went bad.
