that's the one that requires you to peddle the car correct? LOL :shock: Or is that the model with the squirrel on a treadmill under the hood. ;)

isn't it so strange when you get a loaner and its a joke of a ride? When I was going through some previous car fixes, I kept getting stuck with a PT Cruiser - over and over...4 cyl. It was pathetic...I really grew to hate those rides more than before I even rode them. I was in it once this winter for about 2 weeks. I couldn't wait to get the KJ back. I felt like I was riding around in a stage prop. Just a shell of a car with no giddyup!! :P

you would think we these loaners they would be trying to upsell you, not give you a POS. I know with my mom's Lexus, whenever she gets a loaner for a day, it the class above hers, or a new model if one just came out. Try to get the customer to spend a lil more next time. Maybe for us they should give out rubicons as loaners :D ummmmm why is the loaner full of mud?

I know! Truely I was hoping they would set me up in a KK so I could see what they are like in person (WOO! Rental Jeep Wheeling!). The Focus drives like a riding lawnmower only squishier. I am counting down the hours till I get my Jeep back.

I remember bakc in the day my parents had a '93 Dakota that gave them SERIOUS issues. it kept dying sporatically and the stealerships couldn't figure out why (all under warranty). Every time it was in the shop, my parents got the loaner car...a Spirit. the Spirit sucks serious major (yadda yadda yadda)

When that Dakota got traded in 3 years later for an Exploder...said Exploder went in after about 6 months with a transmission issue (which is what happens when you abuse a 5 speed Exploder off road...). Got warrantied, and the loaner was a Crown Vic.

I think Ford stealerships typically treat their customers better than ChryCo stealerships. Either that or Fords break down so seldomly that the Ford places can afford nicer loaner cars because they don't get miled out as much;) (insert evil Ford guy laugh)

I hate Focii. a girl I know has one...she's had it for about 5 years now and it's got 150,000 on it. I swear it's got more squeaks and rattles than my nearly-300k-mile Trooper did, or anything else I've owned for that matter.

At any rate...is this engine issue being solved by warranty work or what? Either way, GOOD LUCK!

It was kind of a tongue-in-cheek joke;) As many people complain about KJ balljoints...at least they got recalled. every pre-02 Exploder, Ranger of any year, or pre-04 F150 I see with more than 60-75k on it either has loose factory balljoints, or aftermarket ones
