so does Toyota, if you go and look it up. No company is perfect, although how they handle the recalls are another issue....
the difference is that Ford has much more severe recalls that have to do with the integral safety and operation of a vehicle. if the gas pedal is stuck, you can turn the car off, slam on the brakes, or jump out. if the gas tank explodes because it's riding on the ground at highway speeds, your fubbed!

It's not the accountants, it's the shareholders 
Leave the bean-counters alone, we are the last people in any organization making decisions. Your talking about the Finance guys who are ran by the company's shareholders.

Besides, do you think people that use grammar like this are capable of making any kind of important decisions?

I disagree. I think your momentum at 60mph would be such that it would carry you away from the flames. Time to write Mythbusters...
