I heard some random number is this even possible ?

Was with family this weekend, many who I’ve given an x/a plan to over the years, even vouched and encouraged them to get a Ford. Could not believe how many recalls they have each had and how hard (impossible) it is to even get parts to fix it. The... — read more 

If you own a house in the Detroit area, can’t sell it and don’t have a job, yeah, take a chance on Ford. What do you have to lose? But if you don’t live here or you already have a job or you’re renting, stay far, far away. Run, don’t... — read more 

Forget quality, cost,etc......the message internally has been clear at the lower levels. The only thing that matters is getting your required 3 badge swipes each week and sitting in a Ford building for a minimum of 8hrs on those days. Our id--t... — read more 

Yet so many are here at Ford running teams and ruining lives. I’ve worked under a few managers who left real damage behind, but one in particular pushed me to my limit. The stress didn’t stop at work, it followed me home and impacted my health. It... — read more

Answer summarized: tough sh*t. Ford leadership is saying we’re doing this so we’re doing it. Didn’t address the question at all. Sort of just rambled about how it’s making Ford better blah blah. Not surprising.

Same as title.

Lots of LL6's, LL5's and LL4's last days are July 31st.

This is as usual. All talk and no action. This is why our recalls keeps going up each year. Build the vehicles, sell them, fix them later.

They are desperate to cut costs after the unmitigated failure of FNV4 It was a big failure and many billions of $$ were wasted!
