About 3 times more vehicles than Ram 1500 diesels:

Ford Motor Co. knowingly launched two low-priced, fuel-efficient cars with defective transmissions and continued selling the troubled Focus and Fiesta despite thousands of complaints and an avalanche of repairs, a Free Press investigation found.

The cars, many of which randomly lose power on freeways and have unexpectedly bolted into intersections, were put on sale in 2010-11 as the nation emerged from the Great Recession. At least 1.5 million in on the road and continue to torment their owners — and Ford.

The automaker pushed past company lawyers’ early safety questions and a veteran development engineer’s warning that the cars weren’t roadworthy, internal emails and documents show. Ford then declined, after the depth of the problem was obvious, to make an expensive change in the transmission technology.

Those in glass homes should not throw stones!

LMAO... And FCA received the biggest safety fine in the history of the automobile industry do to front suspension design flaws that Chrsyler, Daimler, Cerebus, and Fiat ignored. Their fix was to implement a copy of the Ford's swing arm front suspension design and even after that they Chrysler still couldn't get if right with poor quality welds on the track bar mount to the frame that required a recall. And after that they now have stearing arms that the bolts come loose and another recall to inspect and/or weld the bolts in place. Talk about a continuous chit storm.

The Chrysler Corporation has produced trash 4 speed transmissions for decades and everyone just learned to accept that they're trash. Our 07 Dodge Ram 3500 has a aftermarket transmission installed by the original owner that gave up the ghost with less than 100k miles.

I would say your in a glass house on thin ice fan boy.

It has been over 4 hours, I think you are suppose to go see a doctor at that point.

I just bought a new Ford F-250 platinum but before that I owned a 2014 Ram MC drw that I loved.
I was planning on buying a new 2019 Ram 2500 Longhorn since I had owned 3 rams before with very good service. I decided to test drive the 2019 F250 King Ranch and I really liked the seats as they were more comfortable to me. Pricing was within a $1000 and here in Texas truck country in May dealers were not offering much in discounts on either side. I decided on the Ford and have been happy so far after 5400 miles. Pros and cons on both and I am not brand loyal. We are very lucky to have three good trucks to choose from. I wish Ram all the best because I would defiantly buy another Ram diesel. I never looked at GM, they just don’t appeal me in looks and can size.
