"It's not,". "It's a stability and handling problem." Last month, Bridgestone Corp., manufacturer of the Firestone tires involved in highly publicized 2000 and 2001 safety recalls, agreed to pay Ford $240 million to settle claims. Meanwhile, Ford has had court awards go against it in other rollover cases. Ford executives told Congress that rollover problems associated with older models of the Explorer SUV were linked to Firestone tires. But Kaster said Ford engineers testified during the trial that they knew in 1989 that the vehicle's chassis needed to be widened and lowered. "All of the statements on this topic have been sweeping statements ie. juries are idiots , judges are idiots ,there just greedy etc.So if you are going to dish it out learn how to take it!Please tell me how many posts do I have to make before I can express my opinion?

I guess they take offence to being called "Idiots"...And yes I do watch Media Watch, the main thing they slam reporters on is exactly what you've done, not getting thier facts straight.I dunno how many posts one has to make here berfore your opinion is considered valid, I'll let you know when I get there Anyways, Welcome to the forums!
