Ford Quality Control Problem

[KTP 30]

Why not feedback to the Mr-no-neck-jim-fartly CEO of Ford. Ever since he took over Ford, recalls been mounting and beating records each year! Over paid greedy lazy fat union workers are not helping either!

I hate to tell you I'm not an overpaid fat lazy uni worker I bust my balls at work so you can go stick it where the sun don't shine before you start running your mouth about people you know nothing about.Go buy a kia then .

I will wade in on this guy who blamed it on the workers... come make a vehicle in Takt (rhythm) time. You master all of these complex physical jobs then talk to the American worker. Now if you buy a nice foreign built Hyundai you can have an almost fully built by robot car. Our workers bust their ass (I was on the line for eleven years) both before and after being union.

Reminds me of one of my favorite proverbs....

I hear, and I forget.
I see, and I remember.
I do, and I understand.

Owning a Ford is all about the Journey and the Experience ...hopefully your dealer is smart enough to hire hot looking people and have a good coffee machine and no charge Uber service LOL to complement the comedic services and commentary.

For me, Ford vehicles were always the most reliable of the vehicles I bought new. Until I bought my '19 F150, which has proven itself to be the most problematic vehicle I've bought new. In the shop four times to date, and it only has 33K on the clock. Congrats, Ford.

People like to poke fun at Jeep, and rightfully so to a degree, but count me in - I noticed over the weekend that my '23 JL is leaking oil. Probably the rear main seal by my eye. Just under 15K miles on this particular turd.

They're all making garbage these days.

Ford has over 150 recalls this year. The next highest is about 50. Ford having three times as many recalls as any other manufacturer should be making people run from Ford. I am.

So far my late 2022 Base 2Dr has only had 2 recalls. One for the wiper SW (updated at an oil change), and the backup camera (which I haven't gotten because I never have problems... and the fix is like a 5-8hr update). Only 15K miles though.

Kind of glad I didn't get all fancy with a higher trim level, but then I haven't heard any complaints from my daughter who has a 2023 OBX 4Dr with 30K miles.

Then again... we live in NorCal. No snow here with moderate temps.

I worked at a Ford dealership this past year and I can tell you that the amount of recalls, weird problems that take a few visits to fix, etc. are out of control. Customers are not happy! It is amazing how many problems there are. The quality control is not good. I hope they get their crap together.

I know everyone hates recalls, I have 22 wildtrak and totally love it.

People understand their are million parts big, small and made from hundreds of venders. That need to fit perfectly. To have a doven recalls, who cares. How many times have you built something and it didn't work, I know I have.

The Bronco is an amazing mechanical wonder with all if smart technologies, and safety abilities, set aside designed to climb over big boulders, than take the kides to school.

Things break, get over it, and stop complaining or JUST SELL IT.

Sorry for venting. The Bronco's are way more than a 4x4.

Love my 2021 but have lost count of how many recalls I have out standing and what could still come. I'm 65 years old have never had a car with so many recalls. I have had so many new cars in my life never one like this. Ford needs to get there shit together.

First off, it’s the vehicles first year…!after years are better. Also you haven’t owned a 2019 Acura MDX.
I thought because it’s basically a Honda that it was awesome. Total junk! Couldn’t be more disappointed. Bought it for my wife and she gave it to me to drive once our 23 bronco arrived. I now have to sell it once all the recall parts are available and she’s got the bronco…
Ha!!!

If that is the 3.6 penstar it is more likely the oil filter tube. They are plastic with an aluminum cooler on them. They flex and leak running down the galley and dripping between the engine and trans area.

No Pentastar, mine has the turbo four.

Both my JKs had the 3.6, never had an issue with them other than the little plunger in the cheesy oil filter housing rocketing off to parts unknown when I was doing an oil change.

I have a love/hate affair w/ my Bronco. After 100+ days in service I'm filing for divorce.

The Bronco is like a girl with daddy issues, pretty great overall but when the issues hit, they hit hard!

My 2012 JK had no issues other than the thermostat being stuck open once, I replaced the housing, coolant and serpentine belt to fix for around $100 overall. I never had issues with the oil cooler because I always changed the oil and used a torque wrench on the filter. After an 11 year ownership experience, it was one of the most reliable vehicles I've owned.

My wife bought her '14 new at the end of '13. It is still low miles just under 80k. The oil filter, housing issue was the only issue we ever had. I dug into it, and it is a known issue across the platform this engine is used in. I do believe it makes it worse that it has periods of sitting often. I lifted it with a superlift in 14 and she runs 37's to take her pavement princess ass to mall crawl anytime she pleases.
