Webasto has a large manufacturing center in Wuhan and in Northern Italy, which are the two epicenters of the COVID-19 outbreak. I posted a week ago that COVID was most likely the cause of the top delay/quality issues. This article seems to confirm that. The flexing issue can be solved by...

IIRC, my last F-150 owner's manual said something to the effect that the owner may be requested to show he has the knowledge and capability to perform the service in question.

You can buy an oil drain pan that closes up tight and take it to an oil recycling center. Before I got a 55-gallon oil drum that I fill and give back to a shop that uses it for heating fuel, I just saved window washer jugs and filled those.

Then the legislation would be useless.

Baloney. The Magnuson-Moss warranty act of 1975 prevents manufacturers from denying warranty claims because an owner serviced his own vehicle. The manufacturer has the burden of proof to show the parts used in the service caused a failure covered under a warranty. All the owner needs are...

Perhaps a propane or nat gas conversion...

People in the US have freedom of choice in both transmission type and religion. Funny that way here.

Ford should just wait until the Defender loses sales and Rover makes a convertible model.

It's more an observation than a belief. But it's all good. At some point I hope you can find the motivation to post something in a positive vein.

Man, you just miss the fucking point of people's posts entirely. You are so pissed at Ford, you can't even read straight. You are posting a stupid reply to something that I made up for example purposes. It must seriously suck to live in your world. LOL

Kinda puts the "Bigfoot" in the Sasquatch...

Had there been no cyber launch of the Bronco the news release would be: "Ford announced today a further delay in availability of some Bronco models due to part shortages. Some of Ford's suppliers have been affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic that has affected supply chains across all...

It's an EV!

This is the point. Had there been no cyber launch, Ford could have just called the delays on COVID, with no other "transparency" updates necessary. Once Ford had reservations directly for customers, the "transparency" and "communication" factors came into play. As COVID constantly changed the...

Well, the disadvantage will then be no competitive marketplace to keep pricing in check.

I probably get looked at as a Ford Fan Boy, but actually I own 4 German-brand cars and GM product. I'm just looking at this with a business interest as well as a customer.

I don't think Ford has botched this at all. That's my point. Considering the circumstances. The only thing I disagree with is Ford should have bagged the cyber-launch under COVID. Cyber-launches just don't work for the legacy auto manufacturers who distribute product via a franchise dealer...

No. I'm actually trying to help the members here understand the complexity of the issues and why they should consider Ford is actually doing a decent job at controlling a very difficult situation. You should go read some of my posts over the last several months. Here are a few: (1) An open...

I'll suggest that people who offer no constructive solutions and just bitch about the situation, their posts are boring and useless.

But seriously, what are the qualifications of these two mokes to have any credibility regarding what they are whining about, where I should use my time listening to them? I didn't hear anything that wasn't obvious and no more insightful than what is whined about on B6G. Are either of these...
