Speaking of Ford, this all reminds me of the Ford Explorer drama from a few years back. Wasn't that the only other government intervention in the past few decades?

This is the price of being an early adopter. I dont like the idea of buying a new car in the first place, but I doubt I would ever buy a new car in its first model year. The truth of the matter is that ultimately the final stage of product development is always going to be the initial production run.

you've got to be kidding me... did you actually read that post you quoted, or just saw it was long and had lots of asterisks?

that guy is obviously gay. complaining about the direction of the wiper switch? wow.

the only legitimate issues i see are with the transmission, and it appears they haven't figured out a perfect fuel curve for all climates. sounds like the normal progression of a first year model on its way to a competent sports car. as many have already stated, anyone who buys a BRAND NEW model, particularly a company's first offering of a specific genre, should be prepared to deal with inconveniences.

my biggest complaint of the tucson i had was the service at the dealerships. the truck itself was great.

Ford might be a little more sensitive to "fire" issues than other companies after the Pinto ordeal. We did a case study on them in a business ethics course in college; it is one of the most commonly used business ethics case studies out there and not because Ford was proactive. It does seem that they learned a lot from that experience though.

i drove the genesis coupe and liked it for what it is. i wish theyd just put the 4.6 v8 from the genesis sedan in it...they say it won't fit, but where there is a will there is a way. the sedan is really nice...drive one if you get the chance

Eh my mom has a 2010 and its been nothing but perfect, and she has already put 25k miles on it.... I will say Fifth Gear is kinda notchy but all other gears are fine. We haven't had any issues similar to these yet.
