Ford Plant Closing
Does anyone thik part of the problem for Ford is that they have gotten a reputation as a car company that refuses to admit that it is wrong. Earlier this year Ford recalled a number of its F-150 trucks due to a problme with the cruise control that caused the trucks to catch on fire even when the vehicle is off. At that time many analysts claimed that Ford needed to recall many more vehicles because the problem extened to thos other vehicles. Ford did not recall the other vehicles and now some of those other vehicles are starting to catch on fire. So, does anyone think people are a little scared to buy a Ford for fear that something could be wrong with the car or truck and Ford will not admit that something is wrong.

1. It might have something to do with selling inferior products My Explorer'
s transmission goes out every 2 years. They knew about it and do nothing to fix it. If is bad by design
