This device is apparently intended for installation in new cars. In essence, it is a sensor in your car which would signal any nearby police if you had been drinking."

Ever hear of Ford? Explorer's are top heavy with bad tires. Windstar's wipers overheat and melt or burn. And there's a about a ten year period with dozens of Fords where the ignition might just turn your vehicle off.

How many people died before Ford recalled anything? Do you think they'll care if you get pulled over frequently? Just because they have a lot of money doesn't mean you should trust them.
