I also had problems with Fords. Though not with the serious safety issues you describe.

My Ford company vehicles were junk that always flashed engine lights and blew transmissions out in the sticks. My company wouldn't allow me to expense rentals, and it took weeks for the dealers to get the repairs through Ford's warranty dept. Their warranty department and dealers also laughed at me.

Companies fail to understand that the internet now allows people to share their experiences instantly. Twenty years of bad Word of Mouth has doomed Ford, unless they address their quality and service issues in a big way. Unfortunately, I don't think that their union pension expense, their engineering or their staid collectively bargained culture will allow them to make the changes necessary.

Sadly Ford is creating garbage and expecting you, your company, and other Americans to purchase their manure. If they truly cared about made in America they would not have so many plants in Mexico and sending their products to the USA.

For my money I would rather by a Quality Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mercedes-Benz, or BMW which are made in the USA by American workers who are not unionized and supporting an ultra-liberal agenda than a Ford or GM product.

I will Never ever buy another Ford for as long as I live.
