  I agree we have reliable vehicles yet the ongoing maintenance exceeds patron support

  The problem with fords CEO, they believes that they can redefine the market. F150 is not a luxury &nbsp;car model.<br>It is work horse of light construction. It has to be cheep, reliable, affordable, mass produced.

  We really have too many car manufacturers. We only need a couple of three maybe four brands and that’s enough.

  Its sad to see people spending thousands of dollars to &quot;fix&quot; the cold start rattle. &nbsp;Buy a bottle of Marvel Mystery Oil and add about half of in the larger engines and drive it at least 3 drive cycles. &nbsp;In Canada it may take 4 or 5 drive cycles. &nbsp;MMO has been around nearly 100 years and well proven. &nbsp;My cold start rattle went away in 3 drive cycles, &nbsp;means morning start and another start to go home is one cycle. &nbsp;I was not going to replace any parts &nbsp;because they are not worn out, just a little gum on a very close fitting locking pin that needs to be cleaned off. &nbsp;Good Day

  From YYZ. Electrics are not ready for prime time, all I can say if you bought something electric is, live and learn, and i know you either got too much money or slow learner. &nbsp;To be efficient in most shops, for every two mechanics, you need 3 hoists, so a car can sit there and wait for parts. That is not a mechanic short. If trades are so easy, then we all be walking around with licenses. In the early 80s when I started an apprent. as a electrician, (The $80,000 tool cost turned me off auto) the very rough completion rate was about one in ten, seven years later. now you are telling us it is half of them, that if true is a huge improvement. I say auto body shops have even bigger shortage of technicians.

  Mechanics don’t want to work on computer problems. Not only do these pieces of junk have mechanical problems they have massive electrical issues they should be getting the same pay as IT technicians plus mechanical engineers pay. This scrap metal they are producing now is not worth the time it takes to look at. Avoid buying this garbage just try to keep your old vehicle running!
