Driven a Ford Lately? Not if You’re Boycotting

I too was unaware of Ford’s policies. I’ve owned two new Taurus wagons and both have had transmission problems in under 70,000 miles. That’s just not right and they are expensive repairs.

Conversely, I had a Probe that was bulletproof – I gave it away after 183K and 12 years because I wanted something new. The only repair was a clutch and a water pump.

Since the kids started to drive and it’s got to be automatics, no more Fords for me. Three Hondas, no issues yet.

Ford can give their benefits to whomever they like, gay or straight. If they want my business, they need more reliable cars. Since it takes a long time to rebuild a reputation, that means long warranties. They are in a deep hole. I hope they survive.
