So they all do that, Big business and their greedy cost cutting in the last few years is what really did it. RIGHT "Visteon" employees?????

My brothers 98 F-150 4.6 V-8 does it! It's the nature of the beast.

My apologies to the Visteon folks, my poor wording or lack of finishing the sentence.
How do I say this, Visteon was only doing what Ford (starting with the CEO & down) asked. Cut costs or else. When Visteon designs & engineers a good working system Ford's bean counters still jumped in, "too much $, cut some more & more & more."
There's a company in my area that makes sensors & controls for the big three and being a friend of the owner, that's the gist of his comments. He had to tell Chrysler he would no longer supply an particular part, "if he cut the cost anymore it won't function or have a high failure rate. A few weeks later they came back and excepted his price. One on else could even come close to his price that Chrysler wanted cut.
All about the bottom line not about giving the customer a good product.
Again my apologies to the suppliers out there.
