![]() The guy giving the press release was so fake when he was talking, i couldn't even watch.
After working on ford cars for 4.5 years i can tell you that people love to buy a brand new model, but the quality of them is HORRIBLE! 2002 explorers had so many problems and got better after a few years, but i've seen some serious lemons because of bad design/execution. The 2005 mustangs some had paint peeling off in the wash bay when washed (striping on V6). The Ford Taurus is realistically a 100,000 mile vehicle if you don't mind spending money on it - my friend had a sable with 70,000 miles that pretty much anything you can imagine was going wrong. I'm biased because i worked on cars with things wrong with them - not the ones running fine, but even on oil changes anything over 50,000 miles was garaunteed to have something falling apart or leaking. Ford is my favorite manufacturer, but they've shot themselves in the foot with horrible product planning and execution, quality control, and Bill Ford does nothing but cut back on everything. How can you make money if you keep cutting everything including programs to ensure quality. Pretty soon Ford Motor company will no longer be domestic, they'll be a mexican, canadian, or even Korean manufacturer and maybe when they're an import company they'll start making money ![]()
