My issue with Ford is not that they build a crappy car once in a while, but
what they do about it. My swearing off of all things Ford came with the
treatment I got with an '87 Sable. This was when "Quality is Job 1". (Still
waiting to find out where on that list building cars comes in). I won't go
into the long list of things that went wrong with that car, but when they
contiually misdiagnosed a problem until the warranty was over then washed
their hands of it, I washed my hands of them. If they can't own up to their
mistakes, they aren't worth dong business with. It really made me sick when
they bought Jaguar.
