Its the dealerships that really cast a shadow on manufacturers. Charging huge markups just because they could and when was the last time you bought a car at a dealership. It takes hours. Sure ford has had its share of issues, but so does everyone else.

I've had more good dealings with car/truck purchases than bad over my 50 years. It's service writers that suck. All they are are salesmen and look at every customer as an ignorant mark. I have 3 outstanding recalls on my 2017 F350 and just received a notice for a fourth. I am a fulltime RVer so basic maintenance is seldom repeat business. It seems that their computers are always down when I inquire about the recalls. Going to be at the present location for the next two months so I'll give Ford regional a call see if they can assist a valued customer.

Bought a 2020 Ford Edge ST in June of 2020 and traded it in September 2021 for a 2021 F-150. They gave me more than I paid for the Edge and 2K off MSRP on the F-150. Of course in both transactions I took my daughter-in-laws father with me. He use to manage the dealership! The Edge ST was a service loaner with 1500 miles on it and 9K off MSRP and full warranty.

The Fordiots are currently arguing with the Ram mafia about the same stuff a couple threads south of here! Lol
