Laurie sent a message to Mark Fields – President and Chief Executive Officer of Ford Motor Company email address that said:
Dear Mr. Mark Field's,
It would be wonderful if you read this. I want a person of your caliber to sincerely think about what it is like to live a life like ours. Please don't scan it dismiss it. A little understanding thought would be greatly appreciated.
We bought a 2002 Ford Explorer in 2006. It broke-down within months. We couldn't afford to repair a transmission. That is unexpected should be running at peak performance at 40,000 miles. We live week to week. TD made an offer through the Recovery Dept. We took the deal but the Ford sat for 2 years because we were unable to pay the repair. We ran into the Great Recession, no running car, lost our home to greedy lender's jobs were scarce. We couldn't rectify the home issue but we are working on it everyday. My belief values are Ford should make this right. The bank expected the loan to last the life of car or until it was paid in full. What are working families expected to do? They work hard, pay their bills, live honest but are taken advantage of. The rich get all the FREEBIE'$ the swag. I think it is disgusting. They have plenty, can afford to buy anything keep getting. To many families scratch to come back around to a living. Security equates food, clothing, warmth a roof over your head. We have never in OUR lifetime had a new car. We share an older car now. My husband does the repairs needed to save money. This car was a gift to my husband for serving his country. Ford Motor Co. is 1 of largest automotive companies in the WORLD. Net worth is $65 Billion. I think you should honor FORD's Name give back to people like us. That would be an amazing gesture would help to restore our faith that good can still happen. The Ford is still in our lot broken down as TD wants far to much for the title. I hope this e-mail finds you finds you well. I look forward to your thought's on all above.
Sincerely,
Laurie
