Sorry but the 6.0 Ford diesel was never recalled.
The warrantee numbers were the numbers FORD published and paid out of pocket for one of their vendors engines. It had nothing to do with TV ads. :R
Sorry, I said recall I meant warranty. Please post a link to educate me that Ford spent $1 billion on parts and labor alone with ZERO overhead.
Tell you what, you show me where Ford paid for TV ads with warrantee work money. :R
A good read.
You are calling ME out for my comments. I would think the burden of proof is on YOU. Why do that though when you can just throw a grenade and run away... right?
By the way, these are from your own article that you posted...
"Ford Motor Co. has been sued at least 58 times by consumers who bought 2003- and 2004-model Power Stroke trucks." - those are costs associated with the truck that aren't direct warranty repair issues. That involves substantial legal fees.
"In a conference call with Wall Street analysts last March, a company executive acknowledged that Ford's diesel-powered super-duty pickups suffered from quality problems." - public relations issues. I can't imagine that executive volunteered his time to speak with analysts. That's another cost associated.
"Since the engine debuted three years ago, Ford has issued at least 77 technical service bulletins. That is far above average, even for a new engine. These bulletins tell mechanics how to diagnose and fix various problems." - Mechanics, engineers, lawyers, writers, etc etc. The cost to pay them for their work isn't included in the warranty work?
