It's gonna go soon once Ford finally gets it right at the service bay. Probably hencho en mexico but i have not verified that. First & last Ford for me. (oh, and I am ignoring the carbon monoxide issues that appear to be growing in these...)

Dodge makes zero cars that interest me enough to overlook their high corporate NHV standards.

Meanwhile my 175,000 2005 Pilot keeps moving right along.

Huh. Not sure where to turn.
My 06 Explorer likes brakes because of the stupid invasive AdvanceTrac system (plus my towing) but otherwise no real problems. Surprised the newer one is treating you that way, as I looked into them a lot last year as you know, and in speaking with all the shops around here they have never seen any major problems (although the windshield is very expensive to replace due to the A-pillar design). My mom's Traverse has been great.
