Apparently you are the one confused, if that is what you believe. ALL manufactures make some that fail, even that report shows their subscribers report one per vehicle in five years.
On of my relatives now owns my last Lexus V8, a 1997. It has around 90K on the clock. He just replaced the power steering pump. The pump alone cost $1,5000. Another of my former cars, a 1999 Mustang GT convertible, is owned by a neighbor. It has over 100K on the clock and it is all original, including the power steering pump. Surly you do not believe I should come into a NG and say all Lexus' have junk pumps and Mustangs are trouble free? ;)
