Did the toyota case involve injuring 700 and killing 203 from defects in a single vehice model.
BTW this thread is not about Toyota or any other manufacturer.
This is about Ford who have a long term reputation for making vhicles that little bits fall off and break or having made so many things that just don't work properly.
The clasic ford inability to make a door handle...interiour or exteriour that does not last like other manufacturers dois a constant over decades and the whle range of models.
While a lot of other manufacturers have has problems from time to time.
Ford just have problem after problem.

Likewise they are facing class action law suits concering cliaming higher than achieveble fuel economy out of a couple of its hybreds.
The
well known issue with steering instability in their Luisville trucks
Mr Weir’s 2002 Ford Explorer has been returned to him in the wake of tests ordered after his vehicle’s cruise control apparently locked him into a 100km/h, 54-kilometre white-knuckle ride from Blackburn to Frankston on December 15.

The rear seatback latch fitted to affected vehicles may not engage correctly. This may result in the rear seatback latch not being secured to the body striker.
The driver may experience the inability to 'set' or 'activate' cruise control, or to 'cancel' or 'de-activate' cruise control when it is engaged.
and time after tme the faults and recalls are for things that are
well proven and pretty straight forward items.
In this day and age why should anybody have a problem with a
seat belt latch not working.
Ya just don't have to look far to find problem after problem with ford vehicles.
Sorry ford have done their dash with me.
As for being "engineered in australia...sorry hardly a recomendation and a throw away line the both ford and holden have used for decades.
As for the worlds safest ute......the americans are fixated in claimimg stuff is the best whatever...and then justifying it in their own terms or arranging for someone else to make the claim for them.
One thing for sure a loyal ford owner will never admit that their vehicle could be in any way inferiour.
Oh the funniest ford thing is the jeremy Clarkson experience with his GT40.
So ford sell a $1/4million dollar car to one of the worlds most high profile & vocal motoring identities...you'd think they would make an effort to make sure it worked.
"I then did something the man at Ford wasn’t expecting. I asked for my money back.
And that, the next day, is what happened.
They put £126,000 in my account and sent a man to pick up the car. “Is it the alarm system?” he said. “They all do that.” "
Ford simply cant be trusted to get anything right....history proves this.
cheers
