You are correct. The Mexico plant does have its problems, but the overall problem lies with globalization, outsourcing, and ultamately the VW management. Mercedes has major problems with the quality of the plant in Alabama. I was stung with my 2002 Mercedes.
I still like the way VW and german cars feel and I probably will stay with a German engineered car.
I also have a 26 year old Classic Mercedes (Germany) and it starts every time I turn the key. All the parts, windows, locks, clock, etc. work perfectly.
