In ten pages, I don't recall seeing one member who actually benefited from warranty repairs at close to 100,000 miles. Or one that lost out because they were driving a Ford with a 60k mile warranty instead of a GM pickup with the 100k mile warranty.
Think about what you have said. Do you really believe.....really believe that no one....no matter the vehicle....has never benefited from a warranty repair....in that 40,000 mile period between 60,000 and 100,000 miles ?

The reality is the warranty repair costs exceed the incremental sales generated from this program. Initial perception may look bad reducing their warranty period but probably a move that needs to be made to stay competitive on the cost side with the other manufacturers.
