I will reiterate my thought here - one accident per year (no numbers given

Lets be serious, if there is a defect, it would be nice if Ford fixed it, however, one accident per yearis not a problem worth any special effort.

I cannot see how counting accidents has any bearing on the subject...how many failures were there? Perhaps there were 100,000 failures.


Only in war is collateral damage acceptable. A single accident is not acceptable.


Oh, Brother.

And if it was your brother you would agree, RIGHT.
