In all serious I looked into Holdens service to see how they compare to ford (I love fords car but service/warrenty really disapoints).Try looking up the sticking clutch issue on VE V8 commodores. Basically a know problem for 3 years and only just getting a fix now. I think they are upgrading the clutch slave to the old VZ one as the new (cheaper) one couldnt handle sustained high RPM. Imagine haveing a problem for three years and getting nowhere.

Ford can't fix the effin base of my drivers seat though, they have had it four times and it's still f##ked.
