Why is Ford bad. What makes it bad?

It is not!

It's not that bad. They just don't falsify financial statements and coverup incidents like certain car companies.

Who says Ford is bad? WHY do YOU think it's bad?

It's just running jokes you've might have heard throughout the years. All three major American car companies have them. It's just that Ford tends to stand out because the name is simpler to make fun of than Chevrolet and Dodge.

You have to go back to the specifications for certain models, and to the memories that we inherited from our ancestors who might have actually known Henry Ford.

The Model T was known for being (1) everywhere (2) reliable (3) unreliable and (4) rattling. To go up a difficult hill you had a better chance if you went backwards.

The Edsel, introduced around 1958 (don't quote me) (I'm only guessing) (go look it up and see a picture of the thing) was a marketing disaster. Nobody bought them. The Edsel is now a Collector's Item.

Ford sometimes changed things in the middle of a model year. There was a model around 1973 or 1978 or whatever that could have any of THREE different driveshafts. If you went to order a new driveshaft the auto-parts people, if they were up on things, would ask you, "What month was that car made?" Or perhaps simply ask for the VIN.

Unless you closely follow the history of automobiles (like if you are, for instance, Jay Leno himself) you will be unaware of the poor reputation of most of the auto companies for all sorts of things. Jay goes so far as to add modern brake systems to some of his antique vehicles so that he doesn't wreck them when he drives them out on the road. Watch his videos. Drool over Jay's yellow 1913 Mercer Raceabout. Then realize that it'll easily do 100 MPH, but it hardly has any brakes.

Back to thinking about Fords again. Investigate, for yourself, Henry Ford's beliefs about various ethnic or religious persuasions. Was the man who put America on wheels somehow bad? You be the judge.

Because they have a long and infamous reputation as not being very reliable or durable as Ford accountants have always been the very best at pricing every part and manufacturing process at the absolute minimum possible to manufacture their cars at the very lowest cost.

Hence all the acronyms:-

Fix Or Repair Daily
Found On Rubbish Dump
Fûćker Only Runs Downhill
Factory Ordered Road Disaster
Found On Road, Dead.

On the plus side, they're generally designed to be easy to fix (out of necessity!), parts are usually cheap compared to other brands.

Modern Ford models really aren't anything like as bad as they used to be and not dramatically worse than the best brands: a few of their models are now even of above average reliability although a bad name takes a long time to be rehabilitated. But their designs still look dated very quickly and their interiors look dull and dated even when brand new and do not age well: interior plastics and fabrics tend to rapidly discolour and look grimy.

I Like new Fiestas. I don't know about Working on one… But my rental ran Great. Beat the Tar out of a Yar-Piss. And. Almost the same MPG.

It did have a bad rep at one stage when demand for products was high and accountants. Sough to earn bonuses. For being bean counters. ( still at work even today) thus Ford gets hit by vast numbers out there and. Bear in mind we nav er tell anybody about our car if its reliable, we tell EVERYBODY we can if it gives us issues! So with masses of cars and inevitable technical and production faults that will occur Ford 'seemed' to have more bad cars than other due to sheer volume out there. If we look at modern Fords. They are now comparable to other. Well known well deserved reputation cars such as Toyota. Reliability now excellent .costs fair. Did not get caught fiddling emissions etc and overall are one of worlds best manufacturers. Currently suffering form bad rep earned. Many years ago. Take on average 30 years to get past a bad reputation and some never. Do! Other manufacturers get issues too but tend to handle publicity better. Recalls etc
