Listen up Ford, I'm looking at a diesel Grand Cherokee. Much better mileage for day to day driving, MUCH better torque (especially when you're out West in 10K foot elevations) and REAR WHEEL DRIVE based.
Agreed. Trucks are the same way. it's completely ridiculous to have to spend 40k+ for something decent that you'll feel bad about using as an actual truck!

Sorry to hear Gary, and you're absolutely right. The world does suck sometimes.

That's horrible. We had two dogs that were poisoned years ago. Some people really suck.

Sorry, Gary. God rest his soul.

I don't understand why people poison pets.

Why is it that **** all seems to happen at the same time? Been thinking about another car, have to buy a lawn mower, had to put a radiator in, and now one of my HVAC units at the house has crapped out.

Ford recalls 435,000 cars to fix rust, seats

April 7, 2014, 4:35 p.m. EDT
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Ford Motor Co. /quotes/zigman/264304/delayed/quotes/nls/f F +0.06% issued two recalls Monday totaling nearly 435,000 of its cars and SUVs to correct a couple of fundamental problems: rusty subframes and faulty seats. According to the Detroit News, the biggest problem involves 386,000 Ford Escapes, model years 2001 through 2004, whose subframes are prone to rust, especially in the 20 states that use salt to clear icy roadways. The rust can cause a control arm to break loose, which in turn hampers steering. Ford says it knows of one crash from this problem but no injuries. The other recall covers about 49,000 vehicles equipped with seatback frames that fail to meet federal safety standards. Models affected in the second recall are the Ford Escape, Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, and C-MAX models made in 2013 and 2014. Ford shares closed 1.2% lower Monday at $15.94.

I'll let them go on the first one. That was old Ford. New Ford should know better than #2!
