No,I'm saying that if you need to have skills in order to put something(a vehicle) right(make it safe) when it's brand new,then there's a problem. If Cig were reporting that the paint scratched easily,decals were peeling,and it got some rust the first time out in the rain;then that's life. It's a low-level product. But he said he needed to fix the brakes when he got it home. No excuse for that.
You can't expect something cheap to be high quality,but there's no reason it should be unsafe.
