I thought Farley said he was going to start fixing all the problems and the recalls:question: :rolleyes:

Crazy that it's obvious where the problem really is yet no one at Ford is willing to fix it. For the slow ones at Ford......It's FARLEY!🤦‍♂️

Khumar Galhorta said the major problems were with legacy products, and that the newer vehicles reflect better quality and inspection.

Ford says they will reimburse up to $250 of towing charges- that doesn't get you across the street in major urban areas.

A pretty small total number of vehicles spread over six model years; maybe due to a spot supplier?

But have you noticed that it's always someone else's fault? This isn't something new and as it stands Ford is setting records for recalls over all the other manufacturers. It's got so bad the NHTSA is now looking into Fords recalls and this is going on for a couple years now.

So the precious Mavericks and Broncos get an "ouchy" on their front hoof and Ford loses its mind and offers the moon, but our Rangers have been dumping transmission parts and belt tensioners on the highways for years and its "oh well" ?

Didn't you know.....when your Ranger or Maverick craps out your supposed to park it, fill the bed with planting soil and grow your own crops in the bed.
Bronco becomes a lawn ornament or if a soft top a bird feeder....
Instead of recalling you will be given a Lightning......

Maybe they should have given those union workers $80/hour, I'm sure that would have prevented these 'installed wrong' defects.

I'm betting against that. 😉
Rarely does an increase in cash decrease ineptitude.
