This kind of stupid 'factory' screw-up - and some dealers casual disregard for the paying customer when the company makes a mistake - is one of many reasons that Ford is sinking and not that many folks really care much, anymore. It's pretty hard to remain loyal to a car manufacturer that (a) makes far too many crappy cars and (b) stiffs the customer at the local level. It's almost tragic to watch a once-great American carmaker go down due to continued corporate and local incompetence and mismanagement.
