said by sam64:If 7K miles of bad driving did this one in then it certainly speaks to the quality (or lack thereof) of their builds.
Ford's place in this is that they built the car - I can understand a rental with many miles on it but 7K miles is almost new.
GM is not my favorite either - but their cars do seem to fare a little better esp. when they have so few miles on them.
Chrysler is pure junk. I have had a car made by them too - nice looking but basically porr quality junk.
Fair enough. My point is if Ford DIDN'T build cars of quality and/or a better management, why didn't they require a bail out from the Government?
