I have had a couple of Fords over the years and never experienced anything beyond usual wear and tear. My brother has been driving Focuses for nearly 2 decades now and swears by them.
Not defending ford as a company here, but just sharing my own anecdotes.
I think they’ve since sorted the issues that plagued mine and my mom’s cars. Her Focus was like a 2002 or something and I think it was one of the first versions. It was just crazy how many things went wrong in such a short window.
In regards to my Ranger, it was a period where some of their engines were basically lemons.
My brother had a Pontiac Grand Am back in the day that had similar catastrophic issues. Basically all of the electronics failed and they had to rip the entire dash apart. Engine issues too. Even with repairs, the car was a disaster waiting to happen.
The gaps in quality sometimes can be wild. Tons of super reliable Ford F-150s, but then you get some models that are just total lemons.
Indeed. Ford made many improvements to their vehicles in 2012 and 2013 to compete with the international brands selling in the US market. It seems it wasn’t enough since Ford decided to cease sedan manufacturing in the US. Now they only manufacture trucks, SUVs, and Mustangs.
