Oh yeh! I have a great one. Brought my wife's brand new VW Polo home from the dealer and the first time we wound down the drivers side electric window it stuck open to the sound of strangling cable. It spent its first night on my drive with a plastic sheet accross the window.

I have a real problem with the perception of German automotive quality, they may have built better cars in the 70's and 80's but other manufacturers are now up with them (and I include Alfa/FIAT in that). German mass produced cars are heavy, overpriced and unimaginative.
