Whilst EAs were poor cars, they didn't intentionally set out to kill you unlike the XK.

As you would expect, each model Falcon up until the end was always better than the prior one (even the AU was better than the EL).
We had one warranty claim where the driver nearly died after picking his EA up from Adelaide to drive to Hamilton.
Running his car in on the trip home, nearly got rear ended by a semi.

No tail light bulbs had been installed, his car coasted to an unplanned stop after dark on a Fri night...

Does that count as dangerous?
Its certainly not what I'd expect from a brand new car built by a company with both QC and QA departments
