uh...it's a ford (ford=fixed or repaired daily, or found on road dead)
I think replacing it with a Toyota would help.
My 2002 ES300 had a similar problem, it wouldn't shift into "D". Some little electronic part crapped out and had to be replaced (under warranty fortunately). So, while I agree with the concept that American cars are a crappy lot, even the almighty Lexus has chinks in its armor...
