3/4/2011 - Brent Deakin
I own a 2001 Crown Vic. I am happy w/ the car. I am unhappy w/ how Ford has handled recall items re: the car only because the car is older. I keep it very well maintained.
The 2011 Chrysler 300 is looking pretty good right now.
I would prefer buying another Ford as overall it has been reliable. That said, a recall should not have an expiry date as this is the fault of your engineering, not my driving or maintenance on the vehicle.
