If robot machines build cars today why are there so many recalls.
I think the manufacturing car companies are trying to save their dealerships by keeping the service departments open to scam the public on repairs suggested through falsely diagnostic tests, as a fear tactic to collect money fraudulently from their own car sale customers.
After all who could ever sue a Robot, right!

Is this a serious question? There's a lot more to manufacturing a vehicle than the part where robots do assembly, which by the way has been going on for over 50 years now. Robots can't make up for deficiencies in design and materials when companies are making things as cheaply as possible.
Robots don't design the cars and the parts; robots just work in part of the assembly process. The issue with low quality cars is the horrible designs and engineering behind them (or better said lack of engineering).

robots do some tasks. There are still many humans involved in the making of vehicles. Robots don't decide what materials to use and where to cut corners. Robots don't build airbags either.

car companies don't really care about the dealerships. They just sell to middle men.
keeping the service departments open
dealerships make most of their money on service, yes.

robots don't run companies. This makes zero sense.
Robots don't design piston rings, etc. Some human designed the piston rings and the robot made them. Robots don't problem-solve; if the engineer royally screwed up, the robot who made the piston rings or whatever, screwed up as a result.
Artificial Intelligence can problem-solve. We don't design cars using AI.
Agreed with @chucktobias
Just like Jatco transmissions, they are build to exacting standards. They are assembled correctly according to what the plans were, they get a very consistent failure rate because they were designed horribly. Then again, maybe they designed them so poorly so that people have to keep buying new ones.
I remember back around 1993, my uncle told me that the car companies keep making them worse, so people have to keep buying them. He wouldn't believe how true that statement is now.
