Ford Tops in Vehicle Residual Value

[Trample the Elderly]

I own a Ford Van. It isn't fuel savvy but I don't care. Old ladies have a knack for running into me. Ford has a long track record of having a serious beef with the Gov going back to Henry Ford. So that's cool in my book. I've had a Hundai before and it was a good vehicle as well. Automobiles in general these days will last a long time if you keep up with them. I usually jack mine up with K&N filers, top off the line fluids, and check on them constantly. I wish Ford would manufacture more autos in the US. If Congress put some tariffs on autos not made in the US maybe . . . Perhaps the UAW would stop trying to kill the golden goose too?

and by the way....
Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. said today that it would recall 2.3 million vehicles for sticking accelerator pedals, in addition to the 4.2 million Toyota and Lexus vehicles already being recalled.

I'm not saying all trade unions are bad. Many of my relatives are union. I'm just saying some of the UAW's policies make the companies they work for uncompetitive in the US and Canada.

What does a recall have to do with a union? Remember the pintos also known as the rolling bombs or the chevy truck with the side sadle gas tanks which also blew up when in an accident. My Ford has had 3 recalls but I never took it in. If I'm correct those recalls you posted are to just add something to hold down the drivers floor mat. I only own US cars and just making a point.
