So sad, I have to go into Charlotte tomorrow and sit around while they fix the fuel filter.
On the plus side, the guy on the phone says that they will wash it for free too! I'm so lazy 
P.S. No spoilers in this thread har har!

Isn't the Focus close to setting a record in recalls?
From what i've seen.. they don't treat their customers very well during recalls either (Ford spacificly). I donno about dodge. [ 01-02-2004: Message edited by: diadem ]
Apparently, if you're stupid enough to not push the lever fully into park (If you can't do THAT, you shouldn't be driving anyway, but), and leave the car running, it's possible that it could roll backwards.
What stuns me is the fact that they only do recalls if the cost of the insurance payouts would be more then the cost of recalling them. Soo... Who would be stupid enough to make all that crap happen.. AND get run over in the process?

ACES! Another post by Azizza:

Not really, IT sounds like they screwed up useing a wrong sort of metal to make the caseing, ot didn't coat it. In costal areas that thin metal will rust through pretty fast, plus winter hitting and all that salt on the roads. This reminds me, I need to change my Fuel filter..Danm pos ford

Umm Most cars use lot of polymers now adays. My only complaint about Saturns have bee the size. Ad theNew L300s are nice and roomy.
Oh and Pke. Yourerigt. I wnt back and read more closely. [ 01-03-2004: Message edited by: Azizza ]

I thought you said they were good cars... Even I haven't gone through THAT many yet. 
But yea. Recalls are fun. My dad's truck has had a few, and my mom's car has a few out too. Both are Nissans. Pretty solid cars too, neither has failed yet in the past 3/4 years of ownership, and my dad's put nearly 80,000 on his 00 Frontier.
Back on topic, Saturn is the only division of GM that's goal is exclusivly to be AWESOME to their customers. They want to have a good product, and treat their buyer's like kings. That's their goal, because of it they hadn't turned a profit a few years into their production. I don't know if they have yet, but my guess is they are. GM would have axed it if it wasn't returning something.

Obvious safety issues have to be recalled, if they don't it's criminal. As for that recall, My guess is you car is a Subaru with a recall on the pawl, which made it so the parking mechanism didnt actually engage. It isnt because of stupid drivers, with the exception of you Slick, it is a defective machine and poor quality control that is at fault. [ 01-03-2004: Message edited by: Pyscho_Pike ]

Because she got a new one ever two years or so.
