So much for F.O.R.D., as in Fix Or Repair Daily!
Of course, it’s not like there aren’t Ford and other manufacturers’ vehicle recalls, including Ford’s much-publicized, “Hey, your F-150 might spontaneously combust while parked in your garage!” one which affected our 2001 F-150 Supercrew 4×4. Still… it’s a reminder that even my much beloved Toyota (1992 Toyota Corolla DX, still going strong and probably will until gasoline costs $9.99 per gallon) has issues with vehicles now and then.
