The Open Roads Forum has been interesting reading the last couple of years. It does give people a place to vent their frustrations with dealers and warrantees. We bought from La Mesa in Tucson and people said beware. We were treated fairly and thought alot had to do with the salesmans experience. Everyone has their storys about warrantees and we laugh about some of ours when we look back at Ford's extended warranty on our Explorer. I noticed a noise in the front axle at very slow speeds and agreeed to let to a Ford engineer find out what it could be. Two months went by and I would see the enginner driving around the city loaded with test equipment. After rebulding the front axle completly they gave it back to me with the same noise except a little louder. Everyone was quiet about the lenght of time and the engineer was no where to be found. Serveral months went by and a chance meeting of a friend of the engineer one night at a dinner we found out he had died of a heart attack and so the dealer put the car back together and said it was fixed. I was always treated very well after that and glad I kept my mouth shut about the lenght of time. The noise never went away and found out it was in some explorers and some had no noise. We have friends who are worried that GM is going to leave them out in the cold if their engine develops pistonslap. GM needs to step up and extend the warranty period for workhorse owners.
