    I really hope Ford addresses this issue properly, and soon. Even with the known problems, I still want one.

    I had heard that most of the issues were tied to a certain production run. Not sure exactly of the timeframe though.

    That would be the same people who refuse to buy import but do all their shopping at walmart.

    I was surprised to see "made in Japan" on my 6 disc changer in my f-150 king ranch When I looked at it the other day. I really didn't care, not like things are going to change. Days of buying USA made only are history.

    Every part on cars today are made in some other country. I dont think I've ever seen a sticker on a part that said made in USA.

    I guess the A4 in the GTO was a quality piece ?

    I haven't seen one last 36,000 miles without a rebuild.

    All Internet hype.

    Seems to be associated with 1 group of trannys.
