That was quick.
Maybe Vegas should start handicapping Ford recalls.
Less than 3000 sold. Far cry from 70,000 that were supposed to be built? Out-of the 3000ft. How many have media channels, famous, or dealers who are ripping customers off??
It’s starting already - Ford should be embarrassed but you can’t embarrass someone that has no shame. Ford is always plagued with recalls and then Ford points the finger at some obscure bender issue
