I wonder why Autospies does Not make posts for the following recall? Every auto company has defect but the main thing is that they fix the problem.

@HughJass,

as I much as I like Ford the most out of the Big 3, Toyota and Nissan employ many U.S Citizen at their auto plan. Do a search and you will know what I mean.
