Ford Recall # 09S09

[Crunchie]

tg, I don't think Ford accepted bailout money.
They just screwed the small dealerships, like Anderson.

You must remember, Ford is a corporation. So their main thrust is to serve their shareholders, i.e., make a profit. If that means screwing dealerships, then they are performing their job properly. That is why we have HFCS instead of sugar in our soft drinks, artificial food coloring and chemical preservatives in our foods, etc. It's all about squeezing out that last penny for the bottom line.

The "car guy" told me that no vehicle (vehickle) had a problem before it hit 50,000 miles or 6 years.  How would anyone test for that ?  I axe you.

Now, on the other hand, if we KNOW some particular vehicle (Explorer) is prone to switch deterioration, and in fact the percentage of failures is really remarkably low, like about four-hundredths of ONE PERCENT (0.0004) of vehicles built experienced the failure (so far), would it not be likely to figger that as one's vehicle gets older and older, without failure, it is less and less likely that it ever will?
