I'm pretty sure if you personally drove a new car off the lot and the door fell off you would not believe that quality were unchanged from your prior impression of that car company.

Just because it's happening to other people doesn't make it okay to hand-wave away safety.

And by the way, so far NTSB believes it's not a fabrication error but an assembly error. NTSB suspects 4 bolts were never screwed in.

As a layman, no. Were I looking for more than a Twitter level of analysis, it would be an indication for investigation. Not grounds for conclusion.

More directly, even as a layman, if I were to use that anecdote as grounds to condemn the state of car manufacturing in summa, that would be irrational.

Source? Last I saw, they couldn't find the bolts. It takes lab work to ascertain whether they ever existed.

NTSB are doing that lab work right now in Washington D.C.
