In the Toronto Star (the one who won’t print the truth about the F150) today, there was a small article titled: GM to accept ‘lemon’ claims”. Seems that our ailing GM will accept future product liability claims, which will allow it to move on with its financial packages.
Now, I know there was some pressure for them to do so but, here we have an auto manufacturer on the ropes and they are going to protect the consumer from lemons. Unlike Ford, who won’t do a thing about the leaky windows (except not notify owners and make them pay for repairs to burnt out electronics). Myself, I am tending towards a Toyota truck (at least they are honest on recalls) but I have to give GM kudos for doing this. At least one manufacturer is seeing the downside to shafting the consumer. At some point in time, those in support of Ford will see how bigoted Ford is towards those of us stuck with a Ford lemon. Thank god old Henry isn’t around, otherwise he’d have me picked up and shoved into one of his forced labour mills, like in WW II Germany.
But I must admit I had my chuckle last week when Ford put out an ad in the the less than ethical Toronto Star. The ad shows a lot of 0 percent items for the latest Ford and states: “THIS SPRING, KEEP YOUR MONEY”. Based on mine and the experience of others, yes you might save money up front but you can expect to pay through the nose on fixing things like leaky windows and burnt out electronics, as well as blown spark plugs and leaky rear windows. Thank god they will let you save money this spring so you can support them in the fall with the bills.
