Hah badass! An Earthshaker to boot congrats!
On a somewhat related note: I had a similar issue with a 2010 Ford Fusion. Complete trash. I had rental cars (free of charge under warranty) more often than I did the fusion. Nearly got creamed on the freeway when transmission failed yet again and said enough is enough. Should have lemon law'd the POS but was just fed up and didn't want to drive it anymore; traded it in for a PriusC and loving that little car. But it doesn't fit a pin lol
