Ford Brake Glitch

So Toyota is not along, I knew Ford was not too far behind. I heard the rumors about the brakes on the Fords but was not official.

The only thing with the Ford brakes is the feel... not that they are defective or anything. They just got some feedback from the owners and that's one thing they didn't like so Ford is changing some things on those cars to make the owners happy.

Nothing like the Toyota story.

You know...I understand the car manufacturer liability issues surrounding the events being reported by the media. But its the kind of pouncing response the news media has been doing with these issues the last couple of days that isn't exactly going to help our economic recovery. Its like someone said in an interview that there has been car recalls for the last 30 years or more that impacted hundreds of thousands of folks that the media hardly paid attention to...why the sudden rabid response and consstant coverage??

Its almost as if there is something greater and above all this that is lying in wait to keep the US economy in a destabilized status state. Everytime our economy begins to show some small signs of starting to recover the news media suddenly pounces on some large widespread issue that starts getting people fighting and distrusting each other. Sales plummett not only with the impacted manufacturers but across the board because everyone is being put into a panic about business losses due to the operating costs going off the charts due to the recall logistics. Then the business start to report unprecendented quarterly lossess and then after that massive layoffs and shutdowns....

A couple months ago it was H1N1...now its this...

I cannot help but think something is running amuck in our country and its NOT something that originated from within our borders.........mmmmmmmmm.......
