Well quoting people who won't use something because they "heard" they were bad isn't proof of anything except the power of gossip. I can probably find you just as many who can quote how they've used Fram for a lifetime and never a problem. Probably more.
I think the instance you're talking about is a case of one defective product and Fram chose to fix the problem. Stuff happens, even with today's more rigid quality control. But you only saw the customer's side of things and his perhaps biased version, not the whole story.
I don't work for Fram or really care if the company lives or dies. But your anecdotal explanation of why Fram is a bad product simply isn't supported by actual facts.
I had a Bandit years ago and was on their forum regularly. There was one of THOSE guys, you know, an engineering type. He tore down all the filters and posted pictures of the insides of the various filters. Most were the same or similar, the Fram was made of mostly cardboard, visibly inferior. The stories of Fram's being junk are legion. You buy all the Fram's you want, I won't be buying any.
