Just heard on the news about the lates recall on Ford vehicles
including my 500.
Battery cable might rub on a frame member. Must mean a box member as a
unibody has no frame and.
Gas tank might fall off; SNORT! WTF?
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Looks like Ford needs to go back
to the "Quality is Job Number 1" program.

Make a habbit of reading recall notices for all manufacturers and it
won’t seem that odd.

<MBA> No, CEO stock options is job number one and let’s cut as many
costs as possible. We’ll worry about recall and fatality costs on the
next balance sheet. </MBA>

Quality has been Job None at Ford for many years now. That’s why I
sold all my Fords and bought a Chevy.

Ford apologist will be along to tell you all about how it’s not a *real*
problem, it’s just a PR stunt, other carmakers have problems too, etc.
