Ok, so I guess what Ford is doing for this guy is good. My bad.

I don't underatand why American car makers continue to turn a blind eye toward their foreign competition. Other than the 2008 MKX we own, we have 2003 Honda Accord. At 66,000 miles, the transmission was slipping when it was shifting from 3rd to 4th gear. I took it to my local Honda dealer ( I should mention that I bought this car from a used car lot, not from the said Honda dealer), and they gave me a loaner car while they replaced the transmission with a factory rebuilt transmission (not a used tranny, a factory rebuilt tranny). They admitted that there was a problem with the transmission in that model year and just replaced it. No hassles, no problems, and 20,000 miles later, I've not had a single problem. There was no replace this, replace that...just replace the whole shabang and send me on my way. Total cost to me....$500. They only charged me a discounted labor rate. The loaner car was free (4 days), and since they had to take apart the front suspension to do the job, the cost also included a four wheel alignment. Why can't American car dealers treat their customers this way? I can say this much...when it comes time to replace my Accord, my next car WILL be a Honda. They earned that.
