^While not a Ford guy per se and understanding pretty well the issue you had, to put it in perspective, sounds like 90% of the problem or frustration is split somehow between supply chain parts availability (maybe not but reasonable assumption in these times) and dealer incompetence.
I can tell you the latter 2 issues (and not the fact that it broke and really shouldn’t have) are NO different than with other brands and too much typing to give my largely similar experiences with the other 2 of the big 3 brands). And same for the root cause which was a defective or poorly designed, or possibly incorrectly assembled but most likely the first 2 reasons, is also absolutely a concern with other brands.
That said, it warms my heart to see another Ford sale bite the dust! #likearock #rammafia

These are vehicles and every year there is a different or maybe continued gripe about ____ issue with ______ vehicle. Heck if you had a horse instead, even it would require some repair and a visit/trip to the vet for a minor or potentially major issue.
The balance is making an educated decision on what you think the magnitude and propensity is of the (thanks internet) known issue issues and then hood for the best.
If I didn’t buy a particular brand of vehicle based on a dealer incompetence experience, I’d not be able to own any of the big 3 ever again? (Never bought a jap or Korean car and precious few eruo mobiles for comparison, and probably never will)
