It’s the Ford Recall Of The Day. I’m really not sure how the Ford Family and Farley can look at themselves in the mirror, at this point.
Ask yourself the same question…
It’s low balling a 3rd rate supplier.
Ecoboom strikes again
Maybe they should just put toyota engines in all fords.
Just not the 600K + that are being replaced for Tundra’s and Lexus sedans.
Like the 3.5L I Force engine? Massive recall for catastrophic failures due to debris from machining not cleaned….lol
I recall Toyota Diesel engines eat oil for fun, they quickly swapped for BMW engines which also leak oil from every orriface.
This blatantly show Farley and Ford don’t care about quality control. Because of escalating quality issues and escalating MSRPs I’m sorry to say I traded my last Ford a Honda. Honda’s build quality is light years a head of Ford
Let’s be a bit realistic, it’s 154 engines – not 600K + like GM, or 100K + Toyota Tundra and Lexus or the 2M + Honda’s for engines failing to restart after a complet stop. Get a grip !
I thought Farley was concentrating on quality!!!
There are over 50 recalls so far this year, that effect thousands of FORDS!
Old is new again!
Fix Found F*cked
Or On Or
Repair Road Raw
Daily Dead Deal
Ford’s are overpriced SHIT now!!!!!
A-lot of people need to be FIRED!!
Ford still can’t get it together. Toyota is having issues and so is Chevy. The new turbo motors don’t last and the cylinder deactivation is stupid as well. They all need to look to the past when engines were durable and transmissions lasted.
My whole family were blue oval for years. Then Ford started making the consumer test the new designs before fully vetting them. They went Aluminum but then added so much crap they weigh as much as competition. They took away the small V8 and forced an Ecoboost V6 that cost triple what a small V8 does because of turbos, and all the necessary parts to withstand the boost pressures. They dont ride any better than trucks from the past…same crap brakes and mediocre suspension but you charge triple now! Anytime ford sees the consumer may want something they triple the price like Mavric and the Bronco. The diesel used to be affordable. All the tradesman would buy them to travel for work pulling trailers. Now they are $100k so who the frick can afford them!!! Their styling is so boring they all look the same except for giant stupid grills and big headlights. How about building a sensible truck for $35,000. Small efficient V8, reliable, not complex, no stupid gimics. Don’t make it over weight so you can tow a zillion pounds, crap nobody will ever do. Get rid of some of the acres of cheap plastic that fades 3 years later. Don’t over price it like the Ranger, Mavric, F150…For the prices you ask it should come with most of the options people want anyway. I dont need all that lane departure nannies etc that interrupt my drive. I dont need or want a digital dash thats so busy it’s annoying. How about going back to normal clocks so they dont fail. I dont want or need a 8 or 10 speed transmission either. Don’t put that horrible electric steering on either…..Zero feel with way to much assist. Then I might consider buying one. Im so sick of the new Ford crap if I buy one it will be a restored late 60′ or early 70’s…Simple get it! Reliable get it!
