RE: FORD = SH*T !!!
We had a Bronco II that was a complete lemon, two trannys later we sold it for a few hundred bucks. It was maybe just that vehicle, but I heard other stories from other Bronco owners.
I had an old Granada that I beat the crap out of, and it took it until the brakes gave out one day - seriously the shoes were gone and the piston went right through the rotor and ALL the fluid drained. No brakes, no e-brake, no real engine brake (auto). Luckily my passenger had big thick boots to stop us, flintstone-style, and we weren't on a road with anybody else. Good times.
Had a ranger field truck I likewise beat the crap out of, parts would fall out and we'd tack 'em back on. Had a contour that just sucked. Not for mechanical reasons, it just sucked. I drove an escort for six months one week. Now I have a mustang which I've had nothing really wrong with, and I love.
But ford didn't get to be dead last in customer satisfaction giving a rancid turd what we think. My free oil changes cost 45 bucks each. Cool. The fine print on my tire and rim warranty basically makes it a worthless scam to me. I love my car, but after the fact, reading all the service plans an warrantee's I signed, i sure felt like a typical rube swindled by a used car salesman. Hell, I was lured onto the lot by a fraudulent (ooh, accidental) ad for a 2004 t-bird at 18 grand. Ford's vehicles notwithstanding, they could sure learn a thing or two about making customers happy from the likes of BMW. Actually they don't have to act like a luxury car maker, I got great service from Mitsubishi over the years.
I can love my mustang, and still think Ford sucks. When the engine splits in half and they deny my warranty claim because I put the oil in when the car was parked facing northwest, they won't make any friends. Do I love my car? Yes. Did Ford get a customer for life? Not by any means.
They got the mustang for the enthusiast, and their F-series trucks. We won't have them to beat up on for long.
