The absolutely beautiful reason that I can tell that they still aren't agreeing to Fords concessions is because they in solidarity with new workers that don't even exist yet, are demanding that Fords new battery plants they are building be placed under the same labor agreement they are fighting for.

"The UAW, according to Ford officials, has taken a hard line on requiring the company’s four new battery plants be placed under the terms of the labor agreement."

It's Ford. How much lower can the quality go?

They could start pre-rusting the fenders!

No CarPlay or Android Auto.

Wait —they’re actually doing that

[–] Jaysyn@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Dodge was right there.

Or worse: Stellantis

As much as I like to shit on GM and their poor designs I don't know that I would place them under Ford.

I'd agree but it's close. The transmissions in fiesta's and the 3k water pump jobs on the v6's put them under GM in my book. They both have timing chain issues, but you can at least easily change the waterpumps on the v6 gms.

Maybe they're committed to F.O.R.D. - Fix or Repair daily.

Pinto quality.

[–] InternetUser2012@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

Probably still better than the Escape and Fiesta put together quality.
