What Ever Happened To Bleeding Ford Blue?????

[Capri306]

Yes, it was my father's 2000 F-250 Super Duty V10. In short, the engine blew a spark plug out its threads & bore. The stealership service manager told us, with a $hit-eatin' grin upon his face, "yep, they do that!!!" Gee, thanks fvkker!

Yeah, we really really love Ford for their quality of manufacture, service, and concern for their customers. What's pathetic is the lack of any serious corrective action by the suits up top in that company. They seem to have reserved spots on the lifeboats as the rest of the ship slowly slips below the surface of the water, figuratively speaking.

Now my mom, dad, and younger brother drive Hondas. Let's just say we're going to be customers of theirs for a long time, just based upon their customer service quality ALONE. I'm the black sheep that bought a Bronco because I needed something with 4x4 that could haul a lot of crap to and from college through snow and stuff. I've always been a truck man at heart anyway.

yeah it was ford's fault the plug did that because the threads weren't long enough so the spark plug was revised and updated so new plugs don't look like the old ones (and they don't blow out like that).....and yet ford let's customers take care of the cost because of their mess up

This kind of stupid 'factory' screw-up - and some dealers casual disregard for the paying customer when the company makes a mistake - is one of many reasons that Ford is sinking and not that many folks really care much, anymore. It's pretty hard to remain loyal to a car manufacturer that (a) makes far too many crappy cars and (b) stiffs the customer at the local level. It's almost tragic to watch a once-great American carmaker go down due to continued corporate and local incompetence and mismanagement.
