National "Automotive Expert" blasts Ford
Let there be no doubt, Ford has problems with their quality control. Consumer Reports previously recommended the two top Ford SUV's.This is no longer the case, due to many complaints and a lack of reliability their recommendations has been withdrawn.
Those of you who are in denial get over it.
It's TRUE

Bausboy,
I am inclined to agree with your statement, but: I would still rather have a Ford that needed some looking after and minor repairs, than buy an F body and have it shake apart around me in less than 2 years (which has happened).
I prefer spending my weekend detailing the vehicles or going to the track, not crawling around in a vehicle tightening everything down so the rattle don't make me insane (more insane? your call), and then having to do it all over again 2 weeks later.
This is in no way a flame, just MHO. Ford's warranty policies can suck at some dealers, and others are great. If one gives me a bad time, I go to another. I am fortunate in that I haven't had to do that in a long time.
