a lot of Japanese cars are built in the U.S. now by Americans.
Wonder if that will affect reliability.

So far, it hasn't. Quality (or lack thereof) is a management issue, not a labor issue.
A commitment to quality requires everyone to be involved in noticing and fixing little problems before they become big ones. And often the people best in place to notice the potential problems are the people doing the assembly work. Ford, for example, made great strides a few years ago, but failed to maintain them because they thought 'Quality is Job One' was a quick-fix,
If workers are told to shup-up-and-do-as-they-are-told quality (among other things) will suffer.
