Guess it's a Ford tradition - no point in spending the $$ to replace defective equipment that can cause fires if the failure rate is low enough.
They don't come right out & say it at the end of this article, but it's the same decision they've made in the past. Cheaper to payout on the cases of victims than to repair all the defective cars :mad:

Yeh talk about Flaming the customers right I mean look at Stellantis 😳. I mean holy crap they have abandoned us ICE guys and gals with an Electric Buzzing noise Charger 🙃. Wow talk about emotional distress and anger, confusion, lost hope, depression, lost love, zombie status, sick stomach, frustration, separation, loss of appetite, sleepless nights, forgetting things, delusional, dementia, can’t get hard, love life challenges, exhaust noise separation anxiety, exhaust smell loss of senses, engine vibration gone….I mean really we are focused on the failure of a fuel injector 😳. But yet our balls have been removed from us from Stellantis and we are critiquing this. What the hell happened to us hell raising noise making burn rubber donut ICE Age addicts🤪

Sort of explains some of the other issues he mentions, specifically -- emotional distress and anger, lost hope, depression, lost love, frustration, sleepless nights, love life challenges ........................

Yep, sounds like Ford’s business model hasn’t changed since the Pinto.

But you get to keep your sanity and get a good night sleep! Phones, computers and the internet are evil! I’ve been saying that since the early 90s and your best to shut it all off every once in a while!

You mean like the defective lifters in 5.7 Hemis that Dodge chose not to recall instead hoping they'd last long enough to get past the warranty period making it the owners' problem when the lifters ate the cam?

Can't trust any car manufacturer (or most companies for that matter) to do the right things when money's involved.

True, they have all done their cheap-assed, shitty things over the year but Ferd seems to have a penchant for (literally) playing with fire [nono]

I had the crazy idea for awhile in the '90's to snatch up a Pinto and put a Turbocoupe T-Brid engine/drivetrain in it. I never did since I had too many other things going on. That idea never came off the back burner. I think it would've been fun to do.
