ctrcbob Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Thanks Waldo. I saw that on Yahoo the other day. I don't think the Camry was on the list of recalled vehicles, but I would think it shares components with the Corolla. Maybe they'll have it figured out by the time we buy. It seems to me that the mainstream media didn't give that recall as much coverage as it does when the domestics have a recall. Wifey's side of the family all drive Hondas and they swear by them, so we'll research Hondas too. Whatever I buy, I'll keep this forum posted as to how reliable (or not) it is. Funny how your wifes side of the family swears by Hondas. The worse MODERN DAY CAR I ever owned was a Honda Accord EX, the best one they made, in Marysville Ohio. Car must have been made on a Monday or Friday, because I had everything go wrong except for the engine. (Never had problems with the engine). Transmission was crap. Moonroof leaked water on me. A/C was not worth a darn. CV Boots leaked. (other problems also - too many to list). Worse thing was when I would go to the dealer to get something fixed, the dealer would say, "sorry but we have not been able to replicate the problem", or "never heard of that problem before". Then one day, I was talking with an area Service Rep, who told me, "oh, we have a fix for that now". Got that last thing fixed, and when something else went wrong, TRADED IT for a Camry. That Camry never saw the inside of a dealership in 97k miles. Refused to buy a Honda since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachboy Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Darn British made 1.6T engines <grin> So far, no problems with the 2.0T Spanish made engines. <ha> Does Ford actually BUILD the Spanish made engine, or is it outsourced from another manufacturer, such as SEAT? I saw the same "country of origin" label indicating that 2.0 engine being Spanish-built in the 2013 Escape, and that made me wary about buying. Spain isn't exactly known for automotive excellence 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Production will move to Cleveland in 2014. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green.cubic Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Any word on when the next Sync update is coming out? I'm hoping to see some sync applink compatibility built into MFT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
