Oh, that's right....... Bad mouthing Ford is a violation of right wing political correctness because of the whole bailout thingy. My bad. Next time I'll try to be more sensitive to your delicate feelings.

The bailout saved tens of thousands of jobs. I wasn't happy with how the dealer reduction was done tho.

Challenger. And, yes, but it was just one. The timing chain. It seems that under hard acceleration, customers complained of a guide that could break loose and lodge between the chain and sprocket causing catastrophic damage. According to the shop manager at the dealership, it really wasn't all that common outside the drag racing crowd. Basically, you had to be abusing the hell out of it on a regular basis. But, it was at Chryslers expense, so I chose to have it done anyways.

One recall notice in six years. The rest has all been routine maintenance.

So far, that's all.

Oh, BTW....... The engine was built in Mexico.

Yep. Although there were some reductions of workforce regardless. A case of worst case being reduced to only so bad.

Chinese, Japanese and S. Korean barriers to American products seem to be a
recurring topic of Trump. What is the reality to these assertions?

Very strong barriers in the case of Japan. I'm sure the other two have barriers as well, possibly with more holes....

Surprising in view of our long post war association with Japan.

She put 30,000 people out of work when she was CEO of HP.

Think of how many she can put out of work as President of the United States.

So, in other words..... She is just still a notch above Trump ...... Which, of course, isn't saying much.
