I am not sure just how mant GTmanual Coyotes have been sold to date, but out of the 32 known and recognized cases by Ford divided by the number of Cyote MT GTs sold, I am wondering if this even fits the six sigma failure figure?

Sorry, the actuary in me is just making me think too much

yeah I would like to see what the data actually shows. I would also like to see some of their driving styles. From some of the videos I've seen on youtube....some just beat the **** out of the shifter to try to get it in gear. That could also be though that they are already ticked off beyond belief.

I just checked and the complaint list filed has grown to 72.
