An answer to mlong119......Are you saying that because another car company has the same issues with the windows down that that is alright,well then you are part of the problem should your wife not be complaining that she can not enjoy the Honda with the windows down? Perhaps when the car companies decide vacation rentals in florence oregon to produce their cars with only am radio stations you would think that is alright also? By the way I traded in a 2012 Fusion (it was an ok car) on the 2014 and I did not have to wait to get good gas mileage......Did you not know that the model year 1955 is over ...We do not use break in oil anymore,do you know why? But perhaps you are correct, one should spend $28000 on a Ford and not complain the the car can not be enjoyed! Ford, Honda or whatever! I'll bet you are one of those that does not mind all 10000 tv commercials vacation rentals in florence oregon while you are trying to watch a program...It is nice not to be a complainer but !!!

91 F250 4 x 4. Rebuilt the entire drivetrain at 201K. No problems, just turned the truck into a purpose built vehicle. 400 HP, gobs of torque, 4.56 gears, monster lift, 37 tires, fully done trans with billet converter, etc. 95 GMC 2500 Light Duty (6 lug). Rebuilt the 350, 4 bolt main engine and 4L60E trans at 265K. Neither had ever been opened for repairs. The inside of the engine was so good, the builder at JMS racing engines didn't even have to turn the crank. It polished to spec. Trans was completely worn out, but than again, the truck has been used in construction it's entire vacation rentals in florence oregon life. 07 Dodge 2500 4 x 4 Hemi. 80K. No power train issues but minor trim issues. 08 Mazda CX9 Grand Touring, 80 K. No powertrain issues but the cabin fan relay keeps going out. What do all of these vehicles have in common? All Factory scheduled maintenance is done ON TIME, using factory parts. It really vacation rentals in florence oregon doesn't matter what you are driving , you have to maintain it properly. Unfortunately, most people do not. They just drive the crap out of them and fill them up with the cheapest gas or fuel available. I will agree on the point of foreign vacation rentals in florence oregon owned companies getting vacation rentals in florence oregon killer breaks and subsidies to open US plants. vacation rentals in florence oregon Has anyone noticed that most of these plants are largely opened in rural area's that have high unemployment rates and little or no union presence? Rural towns will give away the farm just to get ahold of the local sales tax benefits. Employed people spend more money in the local economy. I know for a fact that a small town in west central Missouri vacation rentals in florence oregon turned down a transmission plant for a Japanese car maker because the demanded price was just to high. As a result, the area unemployment rate is still well above the national average. These companies will not try this is places like Detroit. Even with a ready workforce in place, the unions make too many demands and the city has nothing to give away except debt. There are a few FO plants with union workforces, but trust me when I tell you, the limits of union presence are predetermined even before the first bucket of dirt is dug out for the slab. So are the limits on taxes, if they pay any at all. As for those of you crying about foreign companies buying out everything, if you own it, make it more productive instead of selling vacation rentals in florence oregon it. Of the 3 major employers in the town where I live, only one is completely US owned. That company is owned by a group of private investors who stripped out all the dead weight, instituted lean manufacturing vacation rentals in florence oregon concepts and is now making record profits. If you don't own it, gather yourselves together large numbers and bring the issue to your elected officials. FO corporate profits should vacation rentals in florence oregon be taxed at a matching rate to those of American owned companies on foreign soil. Investors that buy, break up and sell for profit should be taxed for every job lost. If your elected officials will not take action on the raping of America, than vote in someone who will.
Anything made by man is subject to breakdown. My complaint about American cars is the fit and finish. Body panels that don't line up, emblems applied crooked, ie no attention to detail or a lack of pride in their work. When my dad bought a new American car he would go over it with a fine tooth comb looking for problems and he always had a list of things he wanted fixed. When he bought a Toyota he was totally frustrated because he could not find one thing wrong with the car and my dad was a stickler vacation rentals in florence oregon to the max.
I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT MY 2014 FORD FUSION,HOWEVER MY OLD FORD'S AND I MEAN OLD FORDS WERE KNOWN FOR SOME OF THE BEST FIT FENDER TO HOOD,DOOR TO FENDER AND TRUNK FIT IN THE WORLDWIDE INDUSTRY, WHERE THE ASIAN CAR COMPANIES GOT THEIR FOOT IN WAS THAT THEY MADE BETTER ENGINES...CLOSER TOLERANCE BETWEEN THE PISTON RINGS AND THE CYL WALLS ETC. THEY LASTED LONGER AND HAD BETTER FUEL MILEAGE. THE AMERICAN CAR COMPANIES G.M. AND FORD(since italy now owns the other one) ARE DOING A BETTER JOB NOW BUT THEY LEARNED vacation rentals in florence oregon FROM SOMEONE ELSE! BUT A SPADE IS STILL A SPADE, FORD YEARS AGO WAS KNOWN FOR ONE OF THE BEST FIT BODIES IN THE AUTOMOTIVE WORLD.....ALTHOUGH I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER FORD...I HATE THE WAY FORD IS ADDRESSING (LACK) THE PROBLEMS ON MY 2014 FORD FUSION...SEEMS SAYING WE ARE SORRY YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH YOUR NEW FORD IS THEIR ANSWER!!! NO MORE FORDS FOR ME!!!
My company buys used minivans and crossovers usually with about 70,000 miles we drive them for about 300,000 miles before disposing. Have always bought American products, Ford, GM and Dodge. With proper maintenance the seem to have no problems. Key seems to be maintenance.
KEY SEEMS TO BE MAINTENANCE? YOU ARE CORRECT TO A POINT,CHANGE THE OIL AND FILTERS AT INTERVALS vacation rentals in florence oregon AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR AUTOMOBILE IS INDEED THE WAY TO ENJOY IT FOR YEARS AND MILES...HOWEVER WHAT ABOUT WHEN IT IS NEW AND COMPANIES SUCH AS FORD WON'T TAKE OF PROBLEMS OTHER THAN TO SAY 'SORRY YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS I WILL TELL YOU I WON'T HAVE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT OIL CHANGES ETC. ON MY 2014 FORD FUSION
