I think American car companies still have a long way to go in terms of their attitude toward the customer. Someone at work today was telling me aoubt his problems with Ford. He bought a longtime service agreement and had some brake word done on his car at the Ford dealer. Even though the dealer stamped on his receipt that it was covered by his warranty agreement, and gave him a second piece of paper attesting to that, Ford now claims that he has to pay because the Ford dealer used re-manufactured parts in his car. Note that they didn't tell him they were doing this at the time and they in fact authorized that it was covered. He's gone through all the levels of Ford and finally got a customer person in Detroit who told him to forget it. He finally told this guy's supervisor that he was going to write a letter to the Texas AG, and they backed off and said they'd send his case back to the local Ford people to look over again. And they wonder why they have a bad reputation. -- Doug Andersen hari@Sugar.NeoSoft.com
