    1. Take a hint. Your diatribes could use a little humor.

  3. Who is no longer on the payroll for. This type of thing has been going on for years. The company keeps repeating the same mistakes over and over. I stopped buying Fords this reason,
    I had an F250 pushed around the dealer lot for two months while they waited for gears to rebuild the transfer case that failed three weeks after purchasing.
    I had a bobcat rear axle problem that took three months to get parts. The car was undrivable for that time.
    This is stuff that gives Ford the reputation it has.
