Thread regarding Ford layoffs

Truth Hurts: CR says AVOI.D Explorer and Escape

Quality and reliability counts today with paying customers who don't drive company cars. High bar of reliability with new domestic vehicles. The migration away from Ford continues...

From Ford Authority: In recent months, Consumer Reports has gushed over the Ford Edge, naming it one of the most reliable mid-size crossovers on the market and one of the best and most affordable used vehicles for teenagers, a top SUV available for less than $40,000, one of the best mid-size crossovers with standard safety features for under $35k, and a top 10 best SUV on sale today. However, CR members haven’t shown the same appreciation for the Ford EcoSport, while the consumer organization itself recently placed the 2021 Ford Explorer on its list of two- and three-row SUVs to avoid. Now, Consumer Reports is also recommending that shoppers avoid the 2021 Ford Escape, too.

Isn't the Edge going away in 2023? Of course, it makes "Ford sense" to get rid of the vehicles that don't have a high number of annually recalls.

Thanks

Explorer and Aviator are junk! Terrible platform design and terrible assembly plant.

As we reduced the number of employees at Ford NA, we will see a corresponding reduction in sales volumes.

Fewer company cars used to pump up sales volumes and adding to the number of extended families that will never drive Ford products again.

Once you get out of the Metro-Detroit area you never see the same density for Ford vehicles on the road.

Sad commentary but predictable based on mistreatment of employees and lack of quality and reliability.

After all the issues I had with my last Ford Mustang, I bought a Hyundai and have had zero problems in three years. I’ll never own or lease another Ford.
