The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it had opened a preliminary investigation in the Taurus cars from model years 2005 and 2006 after receiving 14 consumer complaints alleging incidents of a stuck throttle resulting from cruise control cable detachment.

A preliminary investigation is the first step in a process that could lead to a recall if regulators determine that a manufacturer needs to address a safety issue.

The 2002-06 models were junk

“The build sheet is the wish list of any racer: lightweight high-revving dry-sump LS7 engine; carbon-ceramic brakes; integrated coolers; true aerodynamic downforce, and a significant reduction in curb weight. This car could only come from Chevrolet, and could only be called the Z/28.”

Actually, Spook, even I would disagree with that statement. I know plenty of people who still drive one with reasonably high mileage. When properly maintained they last just fine.
There was a minor rust issue with my friends 02 Sable thanks to NJ's liberal use of salt products, other than that standard upkeep has been limited to a replaced alternater just last week and some rotted brake lines, which isnt too bad when your car has over 140K miles on it.

So out of a gazillion made, they are INVESTIGATING a few hundred K.

Would I defend that?
Nope.
Let them investigate the shit out of them.
And if they find something.
Fix it.
