How can Ford just shaft its loyal customers? Now my vehicle is devalued due to a faulty manufacturer part. I don't expect the paint to fade after a few years. I don't expect the body panels to fall off within a few years. So why would one have to deal with the faulty part issue?

2) You have to deal with a faulty parts issue because Ford, GM and Chrysler want their suppliers to provide them with parts at bargin basement prices. They only care about quality to the extent that they want the part to last for the warranty period. When you pay bargin basement prices, you get bargin basement quality. It's as simple as that.


Don't kid yourself and think its only the big 3 that try and cut corners where they can.
