Re: Anybody wanna see a ship sink?
I understand they haven't been there forever and that they don't choose to put the warnings there. So by this logic, should Ford (or any company for that matter) put a warning on a Pinto that says If you get rear ended in this vehicle there is a 85% chance you'll die in a fire ball.? How many Pintos would have sold?

Re: Anybody wanna see a ship sink?
Just one search for Auto Coverups led me to this..
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp...nguage=printer
Mitsubishi covering up defects with brake systems and steering columns.. 6 executives arrested.
Also I believe I remembering watching something back a while. That the problem with the explorers.. Was a combination of the angle of the suspension and the strength of the tires.... The angle of the suspension put to much stress on the firestones causing them to blow. However other tires did not.. So i dont really know who to blame here as the tires were not really a problem on any other car... just a bad freak combination..
Another thing.. The ford freestyle AND the Chrysler pacifica and the leading vehicles for rollover.. 13% chance of rollover.. so ford isnt the only company putting out unsafe vehicles...

Yes! and Dodge for their shitty seat belts, and Toyota for their unsafe front seats, and Mistu for their Roll over prone Montero's, etc. etc. etc. That's the point. Every one of them has put out a dangerous car. Some of you are just too naive to realize that the others knew they were dangerous before production also.

This was your answer to why you hate Ford but not alcohol and tobacco companies, but now you say everyone knows that they are bad. So which is it?

Re: Anybody wanna see a ship sink?
but montero's, isuzu troopers and sidekicks, jeep wranglers and liberties, and amigos all have a sticker stating "this vehicle will roll over if you take a sharp turn." and anyone who owns a supra or m coupe will only lose one gas cap while owning their car, cause you'll remember doing it everytime you put gas in it from the recoil of going to the dealer for a new one.
