And just remember, Ferrari charges a lot more for there cars and makes a fraction of what ford make... So they should be able to spend more time on the car.
But shit happens.. At lest Ford is recalling the car to get it fixed before it becomes a problem down the road. It took forever for VW to do the Coilpack Recall.

Did you read the article? It took Ford FIVE years to make a recall on 700k cars and trucks that could go up in flames. I would understand you comment if they recalled it within 1 year, BUT FIVE years!! come on.
 
Yeah, well.... whenever Ferrari calls for recalls I guess people kinda ignore it. Simply because a lot of people love Ferrari. But when an American manufacturer -- especially Ford -- makes a mistake and recalls then everybody takes a swing at the nail in Fords dick.
 
It's not just the number of recalls -- though "service bulletins" are sometimes in the dozens -- it's the nature of them. Ford recalls usually involve fire for some reason, like when flames would shoot out of the air vents in a Focus dashboard.

If it's not fires, it's other failures so unsafe and absurd that they're funny. Sudden, random airbag deployments, for instance. Or meaningless ones, like "excessive brake dust".

Way to go, Ford. :D
 
The whole Firestone+Explorer phenomenon killed something over 250 people in total (in the car + other cars and bystanders who got hit).

Compare that to something like say Ferrari, who issues a recall on seriously small things that usually don't affect anyone. They have issued recalls on caps, vents, and other measely items that could never harm anyone, and replaced those items (not the entire car duh). I think it's a combination of striding for perfection, and that they can't affoard to get sued by their clients if the cars do develop something more serious. Remember that Ferrari owners usually have a spare lawyer under every table in the house, and one in the trunk given that the car is a front engined model ;) that is, if they aren't a lawyer themselves, so just imagine the legal suits over "my wheel fell off my Enzo because it has 1 nut to hold it".
 
well.. to me its a good thing that Ford even bothers to do recalls... thoughout the life on the Malaysian car manufacturer, proton... its only done one recall which is the Gearbox on my car can fall out anytime due to Gearbox mounting design problems... WTF :shock: ... there are loads of problems with protons that have never gone public... only the public found out themselves... 2 new proton models have caught fire because of faulty wiring and they haven't even done a recall because of that... mainly because if they did it... it would be a hell of alot of cars... out of 10 cars you see... abt 5-6 of them are protons

You've got some balls to be driving a Proton. Damn. I thought my car was pretty bad when I had to start replacing everything.
 
my proton is what the company I work for gave me... I've already spent money replacing the brake hose to steel braided ones as I heard stories where the normal ones snapped due to too much pressure.... :shock: ... and Mischief... if anyone had a choice... they wouldn't be driving protons.... the government impose crazy tax on imported cars so they protect their national car... e.g. a brand new Bimmer 520i cost about 115k USD... even my 1994 RX-7 is worth 20k USD and Brand new RX-8's cost about 65k USD... this is why half the fuckin country still drive protons
