I have never been a Ford man until I bought a 2004 F250 pickup. Best pickup I have ever owned, still going strong at over 100K. The Escape I bought for my daughter, was really surprised something like this would bail at under 70K. Really anything but this. If the American Car industry was so proud of their products, offer a 7/70,00 like they did in the 60's. I will never buy another foreign car ( well maybe an Acura ), so this little problem ( if you call $1500 a little problem) is all I have to spend on my Ford's, I guess I'm pretty lucky. I had to pay $500 for a tail light lens on my Mitsu 3000GT!
