So you join the forums to make this one complaint? And what are we supposed to do about it?

Hi welcome to the forums, it sucks when you dont pay the extra for the extended warranty doesn't it. I would still keep pushing it with Ford though, unfortuntately I am not sure if saying you are going to go get a chev is going to get you any sympathy around here.
