Such a shame for such problems. I hate to say the bottom line is something called mass production and cost restraints. Don't get me wrong, we would all like to buy that perfect automobile that is bullet proof amongst everything else. I purchased a 2001 edge with all the goodies, and love it. It has been trouble free, gets respectable mileage for what it is, and most importantly, it is made in the usa. I treat my ride with respect, and I don't expect it to let me down. As for recalls, praise the lord for them. Don't forget that once upon a time we would never had heard about those deficiencies. You know, even those great Toyoto's have problems, and i'm not just talking about the rust! I wander if you could get one of those foreign cars replaced under the lemon law, or tade assist programs, and don't tell me they don't have problems. Take a deep breath and appreciate the warranty on you're vehicle.
