Kysor shutter recall, I'm so done!

Today I took her in to have the Kysor harness recall performed.
Really, how can they keep selling this car with all of it's issues!
Obviously, Ford has no commitment to quality engineering.
Looks like I may need to start car shopping again.
Last chance, Ford!

From what I understand it was a relatively small batch. Look at the recalls all the other companies are having, then continue to say how bad Ford sucks. I'm not a Ford fan boy at all. This is my first Ford since my first car (81 Granada) back in 1996. I never planned on buying a Ford, but was in dire need of a new car and this is what I was able to end up with quickly. That said it's the best car I've ever owned even with the couple ever-so-minor recalls and TSBs. Ford has been on top of their game with getting [some] of these issues handled quickly.

I drove a Prius the other day. I was really impressed with the handling, and getting 150 mpg at 85-90 mph is AWESOME! Plus people kept giving me looks as I passed them, so of course they thought the car was amazing! I think I'm gonna trade.

Then leave already.

Do you think you are special from having issues with your car? Take a spin around other car forums of new cars and see that they have issues too. Ford and this Focus are not the exception.

It seems that you just wanted attention so why don't you just leave if the car is giving you so much trouble?

He will even input random google searches when I am not looking. Last time it came up with some porn sites.

I blame the cat for that too!!

How'd it go with your wife, that whole permission to one-night a pornstar or two?
