I wonder if J.D. Power included Grabbers TSB thread in their review. :grin:

FORD=FAIL, for all the TSBs on the 07-09 GT500.

I figure their exposure on all the Tranny TSB's was over 50 million to fix them all, so they paid for it.

That said, the initial quality of the 09 Escape I got my Mom was fantastic.

Do you think that part of the issues with the 07-09 Shelby's could be that we (the owners of these cars) pay a little more attention to detail than the average car owner and tend to drive them a little harder that the average driver? :2cents:

No, not at all, they were just engineering and quailty control oversights. IMO

Many GT500s are driven like Minivans and many don't get driven much at all, so I would not sip that :koolaid:

OK, you got me. Stick me in the arm and I'll bleed blue. :busted:

Here's a broader view on American car quality (http://editorial.autos.msn.com/article.aspx?cp-documentid=1149477&icid=autos_0430&GT1=22009)improvement/rankings in segment.

When the Fiesta comes in it will own the sub-compact segment. Now if the Fusion 'update' can knock off the Accord, Ford will be in superb shape. ;-)
