Why are ford cars usually so bad and unreliable?

What are the main problems about ford cars that make them sh*tty?

They weren't made by a Japanese, Korean or European company.

Because lots of the ford places have shut down and you can't then get your car properly fixed

Ford F-150. Best selling truck in America for years. Ford, built tough.

My last two Fords went well over 200K miles without major problems. I know one of them is still out there with nearly 300K miles on it. I have never heard what happened to the other one after I sold it.

No Problem with my 11 year old Ford

Are they? I call BS.

They just suck, plain and simple.

I owned them since 1957 and disagree

Never again!

Why are trolls so bad and unreliable?

Psst, Id trust a ford over you.

  • Why would people buy older foreign cars instead of brand new American cars? I see it all the time, people driving 7-8 year old Mercedes or BMWs that they paid probably paid around $20,000. They could of easily gone out and bought a brand new Ford or Dodge, but they didn't. They bought a Mercedes with over 100k miles. All worn and torn on the inside. But aslong as they're shining on the outside I guess.
  • Why don't American cars last as long as Japanese cars? My family has owned a Ford Taurus and a Nissan Altima of similar model years. Both cars are still running, but the Taurus has very low mileage (it's a 1999 with only 85,000 miles) and the interior is in horrible condition and the plastics Ford put in have been known for breaking. None of this has happened with the Altima, even though it has more miles. Why?
  • Why are some Ford cars (like the Taurus and Focus) such unreliable cars? I'm looking at cars in the $3000 - $4500 range and I'm noticing a decent amount of Ford Taurus's and Focus's and out of all the cars that I see, these are two cars that just seem so unreliable. I test drove a Focus last year and it sounded like something was wrong with the engine.
  • What cars do college students usually drive? I was thinking of buying a 1999 Ford Explorer XLT for my first car. It will be 2016 when I go to college. I feel like my car would be too old and people will judge me. How old are the cars college students usually have?
