Comments
You would think FORD would recall the vehicles and fix them the way they fixed OTHER fuel leaks, like catch the drips in a pan and redirect the leaking gasoline to a safer part of the GARAGE FLOOR.
Agreed, we were about to buy a ’24 Bronco Sport when the latest reports began to surface, the dealer all but pledged on the Bible that the coolant/engine block problems had been cured, then the fuel system leaks stories began to surface … now this. We have started looking at the Buick Encore GX, at least GM has gotten it’s act together.
Since you can’t comment on die policies, nor the article, I’ve read the article on FORD’s die policy changes, and I can see why people are all upset.
They should leave die policies to the important jobs, like united airlines’ cockpits.
As far as the planes themselves go, they don’t call them BOING for nothing.
No sense of humor here among the editorial staff.
24 vehicles spread across 4 models. I’d be curious to know what they have in common. How does Ford know the o-rings are missing on only those 24 vehicles? Is that a typo?
I’m sure that it’s way more than 24 vehicles given non-existent quality control under Failure Farley.
