Mike,
Funny you should mention that, I worked for ford a few years, and I performed
about 10-15 of those recalls, but also along with those recalls was a subframe
recall, and a headlight switch recall that I perfomed also, so if you do own one
of those vehicles you want to make sure to have all of them done. And yes the
warranty work does not pay the technition crap. It sucked.
