Ford Recalls 26,000 Trucks, SUVs

Between 2002-2011 where was Ford's Quality control?  

Way ahead of Toyota's apparently.  Nobody has recalled more cars since 2001 than Toyota.  Over 20 million.

Even Ford admits their quality is not above Toyota's. It's only been a few months since they plastered our tv sets with commercials claiming that their quality was "as good" as Toyota.

Carpuff, you'll notice Ford stopped running those commercials when it became clear that Toyota was no longer the benchmark of quality in the industry.  Now they can strive to be.......Ford.  Their own quality is as good or better than Toyota's.  But then I'm beginning to think Yugo has better quality than Toyota does today.  Yugo certainly never had as many recalls as Toyota.  Then again, nobody in this decade has had more recalls than Toyota.  Nobody!

Carpuff, this Ford recall can't hold a candle to Toyota's recalls.

 

Like this TOYOTA RECALL OF THE WEEK involving 50,000 Tundras:

 

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: 11V148000

"Toyota is recalling certain model year 2007-2011 Tundra vehicles for failing to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."

 

The TPMS on some vehicles may not have been properly calibrated and as a result the low tire pressure warning lamp may not illuminate should the inflation pressure in one or more of the vehicle's tires fall below the threshold for when the low tire pressure warning lamp should illuminate. Drivers will not receive a warning from the tire pressure monitor that one or more tires are underinflated, increasing the risk that the vehicle will be driven with one or more underinflated tires, increasing the risk of a tire failure that may lead to a crash.

 

What's worse is that Toyota had to issue a similar recall for the Tacoma, FJ Cruiser, Land Cruiser and Sequoia. 

 

Oh what a feeling, Toyota!  The recall KING of the 21st Century!

I don't think you can pick on just one auto manufacturer. They have ALL....and I repeat....ALL had major recalls lately. They need to have better quality control. Both foreign and so called American made cars. I hesitate to call anything completely American made anymore, because there ain't no such animal.

at 179,000+ my SUV is still running strong with so few glitches in the 6 years.  I am so happy and so proud of my "Eddie" Eddie Bauer Expedition.  I wouldn't mind a few lights not functioning.  I would rather that than to worry about my brakes, electrical, steering, power-train malfunctioning (hello Toyota and Honda).  Every manufacturer has recalls (Autorecalls.us).  This is my 4th Ford and each has been extremely reliable.  My family means too much to me to put them in a Toyota or Honda (Lexus and Infiniti too!)  I wouldn't want to be screaming down the road for my brakes to work...
