If only there was some way you could contact me directly. Via satellites and portable handheld receivers...

I can believe the Focus was craptastic. People say Ford is a front runner for reliability, but I dunno. I still hear about issues on their new cars a lot. Debilitating electronic issues with the Fiesta, radio is tied into the ignition... Genius. Still hear probs about Ford gas truck transmissions.

Since they're recent increase in popularity and production, their QC has fallen again. They have several vehicles in the Top 10 for reliability issues.

It was a 2014 with 10 miles on it. Didn't get to test the passenger door since I was the driver on the test drive.

The brakes, I suspect, may have been from the mechanic who went to gas it up. When he got back, he came blazing into the lot and the car reeked of brakes when he pulled up. Definitely wasn't the same after that.

The other things happened the next day when we had it all on our own.

So much for PDI on the dealer side, eh?

Drove a Hyundai, brand new back in the 90s. Came back smelling like burning metal.

Shannon's Santa Fe was a nice vehicle until the head gasket blew. Good price and had a pretty good mix of power and fuel economy. We might have looked at another Hyundai possibly but their SUVs were not large enough for what we wanted.
