Ford: Recalls are job #1
It’s a double-edged sword with Ford. It sucks that they have so many recalls, but at least they fix their problems (for the most part). I’ve been eyeing up a model from another manufacturer and the number of problems I’m reading about where the manufacturer just brushes it off are making me think twice.
I own a Ford Edge SEL 2013 and my backup camera all of a sudden is now upside down. You should expand your recall FORD! My camera was working perfect. In fact, it had a beautiful picture for backing up. Now I have to stand on my seat upside down to make sure I don’t hit anyone!!.
