RE: still having technical difficulty

I have to agree with you Jim.  They would also be ahead of the game if the
were more innovative.  With Ford moving plants/jobs south of the border, no
hybrids or truly energy saving vehicles with wiz bang "gadgets" like on
windshield mapping, or collision avoidance, there is little incentive to buy
"American" in the auto industry.  Most of the electronics are no longer
built in this company, so it gets very difficult to monitor quality
standards.  Of course, that is just my opinion.

Doesn't that crank you up? I had a motherboard replaced once by a defective
motherboard. And they wonder why GM and Ford are in trouble.
