btw kudos for bringing up these questions to your rabbi, but really you should be able to figure them out yourself , and obviously get a second opinion
If you were a "SUZUKI" lover and loved everything "SUZUKI" stood for , but heard startling stories about factory defects and shoddy parts, the last person you would want to go ask to verify the validity of these claims would be the "SUZUKI" dealer..
p.s. replace suzuki with judaism, christianity or oreo cookies
