Well my company has been known to murder China men rather then pay them.
Zackly right.
Since your ac doesnt work the pickup figures you need the window down. Its fords way of fixing it haha
This is great to hear. I can only go off what I'm reading online, which is that reliability is decreasing for Toyotas based upon different ratings and websites online. I'll freely admit I'm wrong, in fact I hope I am, because the Toyotas still offer a ton that I like. Thanks for calling my post out sir, I better do some more digging.
In the distant past, completely agreed. Unions served an important and meaningful purpose!
Apparently you have never worked for a corporation who openly despises blue collar.
Ain’t you in luck.
Think about a jar full of 1000000 marbles, a mix of white ones and red ones. Say I don't let you peek at the jar but I let you pick 3 marbles out of the jar and then tell you, based solely on those 3, to estimate the percentage of marbles in the jar that are red. Even if the entire jar is well mixed and 70% white, you could still happen to pull out 2 or 3 reds, which would give you a very inaccurate picture of what's actually in the jar. In the same way, your handful of ford trucks that work great don't provide any usable information about the reliability of all ford trucks sold in the timespan in which you bought yours. It makes sense to use personal information if that's all you have, but when it comes to comparing reliability of two groups of many millions of cars each it's basically irrelevant. As the number of data points increases you slowly approach greater probability that your dataset represents the whole thing, and you certainly don't need to get anywhere near 1000000 to make accurate reliability estimates. This is supposed to be informative, not combative, hopefully it comes across that way, but the internet is a bastard when it comes to conveying tone and nuance, so I'm just gonna state it plainly. I'm certainly happy you've had good luck with your trucks, and not implying Ford is terrible. My view is that in the last 10-15 years American manufacturers have closed the gap quite a bit and that while they're not blowing Japanese cars out of the water like Japanese cars did to US made ones 25-30 years ago, they're probably more or less on par.
Recall just means that the problem that is both known to the manufacturer and fixed by the manufacturer. Sometimes a problem is known and the manufacturer decides that they are willing to take the business risk of not fixing it. It's not cut and dried that a higher number of recalls is automatically worse. It might be, it's just not enough information to decide.
The issue is the willingness of the manufacturer to admit a problem (Toyota flat out said they don't make defective vehicles...Arrogance AND stupidity in its highest form) and the other is the nature of the recall.
Thanks for posting. Didn’t know they had production in Mexico. Hope they keep their quality up.
