Failure maybe rare, badly programmed and inherently faulty is another ball
game entirely. I will *never* buy another French car of a certain make. A
particular vehicle that I owned wasn't wired up correctly and repeatedly
indicated fault codes that could not be resolved by three main agents, in
turn. It was actually dangerous and elicited the weirdest most
unpredictable behaviour.
