I'm sorry I don't not believe Mr. Wagoner. Sadly Ford management is proving to be as stupid as GM's. American Automotive Industry is like the Menendez borthers whining that they are orphans. GM screwed the pooch with Delphi and are now reaping what they sowed.

I watched my mom take her Chevy to the shop THREE times for the same recalled part when I was 12 and have not bought a GM product since. Ford lied about the cruise control problem on my F-150 and when they finally did the recall, the recalled part went from being availble two months (November) after the recall was announced to 'we might have it in February'. I know 'bad parts happen' but geez Detroit, do not rub my nose in it.

Would that be the same Delphi GM was being hammered to dump in 1999 because it's not their "core" business and didn't provide shareholder value?

I watched my mom take her Chevy to the shop.... Ford lied about....

Ok. I've owned three late model Chevy's, two with no warranty work in 120,000 miles (sold one, still counting on one) and had one 30,000 warranty engine problem on the other, fixed in two days, loaner car, no problem.

So your in depth research sample is canceled out: point to Detroit.

I'm in the same boat as are MANY others. "Slap me once, shame on you. Slap me twice..."
