It's funny how some of you speak of these recalls and customer services as if you OWN one.  Guess we really can't win 'em all.  -SAV

I agree with both Rara and yourself that Ford's response to the issue has been very well executed. The actions were concise and quick. Bravo.
However, I wouldn't call potential control arm failure "nothing too major", especially on a high performance vehicle.

LOL. Yeah, I knew all along, but I wasn't gonna drag someone elses name out. I just wanted to be damn sure everyone knew it wasn't us. Its a shame that the car has been plagued with a few early problems, but Ford has done a commendable job of handling it.
BTW, how was your holiday?
