– What is “Ship it Quality Syndrome” in reference to buying a newer used car?

212 viewsOther

I just purchased a 2021 Honda with 20k miles that appears to have a bad starter. I did my research on the vehicle and purchased from CarMax with an extended warranty, but it looks like I might have a lemon.

BUT – I asked in a forum if anyone else has had this starter problem and someone replied “oh the good ole’ ship it’ quality syndrome.”

What the heck does this mean? Is this just a troll?

To “Ship it” means to send it out from the factory, dealership, whatever. The implication is that they’re ignoring spending the time to do it properly and just sending it out with problems. At which point it’s not their problem anymore.
