[QUOTE="OLE442, post: 1028556, member: 64972"] Yes, like I've said before.....there are some items on my Sport Trac that I have paid to fix myself that are design flaws/poor design that Ford should have caught before they were produced and fixed or at least, recalled them and repaired for free...JMHO. A tranny shouldn't crap out before at least 100,000 miles IMO. Manifold issues, where a new design was made after a couple years of producing the vehicle just to cure the problem should be a recall and a free repair IMO! Plastic radiators, breakable two piece spark plugs and a couple other things are not acceptable IMO. An if these types of things happen with other makes, they too should be fixed. Makes you wonder if this is why most manufacturers go with a 3 year warranty....to avoid repair costs to them and sell extended warranties to folks who like to have major things covered at least for the time they are making payments on the vehicle. It sucks that you really have no choice but to fix your 2010 Adren Todd! Most folks don't want to buy a 2 ton vehicle that can't move itself. Just to sell it you have to fix it and if you're going to keep it, you don't really want a cut rate tranny shop to do the repairs. You are really more maintenance upkeep minded than most folks also so if it can happen to you, we are all at risk! Good luck with whatever choice you make! [/QUOTE]
