Ford tried to deny my buddy a warranty replacement of his broken engine
mounts on his Contour SVT because "The front tires are more worn than the
back - You must have abused it." Keep in mind that this is a fairly heavy
FWD that is marketed as a performance car. After about a week of going
through the corporate ladder and bitching to anyone who would listen, they
replaced them under warranty. He promptly sold the car and replaced it with
a ferrin' car.
