Well the ford dealer had the car for about 3 weeks. I have been driving the VW and our econoline. Sometimes one is too small and other times what we have is too big. My minivan was grounded by ford.

After a heart to heart talk the service manager there declared the car un grounded and gave it back to us to drive. I think the only thing they did was run the engine some as my mileage was not as good as usual.

He said that they have a subframe on order, it sounds like they more or less sleeve the subframe.. My hopes are fading.
