I'm guessing I've driven hundreds of thousands of miles in Ford products since 1995, including Mustangs, Escapes, and Explorers, and that's the only problem I've ever had. Everyone talks about the "poor quality" of American cars; I just don't see it.

As for the new Mustangs, they look nice, but that's not my thing. It's retro thing and I'm just not into it. I also hate the way the interior looks on the newer Mustangs.
