I heard on the news this AM that Ford no longer has parts for 06 and later F150's. As a matter of fact they said when the warranty expires they will no longer supply parts on some models. I didn't hear the whole story as I was at a Mickey D's for my morning coffee. So it leads me to think that Cadillac is not the only one that is having parts issues. But this doesn't bother me as much as what I am about to say. I talked to the guy at the place that has the headlights for our cars. $1200 a piece. There is another part ( and I forget which ) that was a couple hundred dollars and he was selling it for over $1000. It has been discontinued by GM. When he gets down to his last 3-4 pieces the price goes up to $3000. I am a real believer in free enterprise but this is disgraceful and I would let my car sit before I would buy anything from him. I think a lot of pressure needs to be applied on these manufactures to allow outsiders to manufacture the parts they no longer want anything to do with. JMO.
