Oac98

Totally understandable!

I feel the same way, Ford is my first choice as I work for this corporation but my loyalty is waning abit. I have an old Ford and I plan on driving it as long as I can

It is disheartening, Farley is saying all the right things but I see minimal improvements. What is going on with the engineering and suppliers as to why they can’t seem to mitigate this recall issue. Aren’t all those engines eco boost?? I know there have been issues with eco boost engines.

I really can’t wait for the day when ford isn’t the recall leader and quality really improves.

Mexico and Canada have free trade agreements with Europe. I know the small EVs will not be built in Canada. I mentioned Mexico because Fords Mach-E projections of 200,000 haven’t been met. I know the Oakville 3 row was once slated to go into various facilities including Cuatitlan. They could easily increase plant utilization by putting those two products there. I once heard that the Mach E was supposed to go to Oakville but I find that one hard to believe. The next UAW contract isn’t til 2028 so things will be interesting. They’re ahead of the game and probably have an idea where they will be allocating some of these upcoming vehicles although we know things can change based on market conditions.

Ok I guess more info will be out in due process.

So when is the Escape gonna get cancelled then and the Corsair?? Or are they gonna add onto the plant?? 2026 isn’t too far from now.

Is it not a possibility that these low cost EVs go to Mexico?? Ford didn’t announce what plant they’re going in. Or am I mistaken here?

It’s just a terrible looking product, I haven’t seen one yet up here in the GTA.

That will be interesting to see, I really wonder if they will drop it.

The Cybertruck is a hideous, overhyped, overpriced piece of garbage! If Ford made a truck like that Ford would get raked over the coals!

I believe Ford is under capacity, not overcapacity. Mach-E plant can build more vehicles, Flat Rock is on one shift. Blueovalcity and Oakville can build multiple vehicles. Etc etc. The truck plants and MAP are using most of their capacity. Hermosillo all out, Chicago pretty full. Louisville doing pretty good.

The new Nautilus looks sharp, I hope you enjoy it and it holds up for years.

I totally agree with what you’re saying. Spot on assessment of the situation.

I’m fully aware that ranting won’t help the situation. Like i said in another post, Ford is doing what they feel is best for the company.

I will work on reducing my venting.

What about Oakville was rushed?? The decision to get rid of the Edge too early? Or the product that they still can’t get right it seems??

We will see how much they mitigate this as they say they’re going to

Late 2027 is the word

I agree but there’s no changing course anymore. They made the moves they feel is best for the company. With the Edge on the way out we will see how much sales of their other crossovers and suvs increase.

I know they’re going ahead with it but anything can change

They know that whatever they’re designing isn’t gonna sell well so back to the drawing board yet again. If they somehow change the plan yet again and pull out of Canada the federal and provincial government should demand their money back and slap some tariffs on ford. Can anyone tell me in here when a plant has been idled and restarted after a three year pause that wasn’t closed down first?! I got over 25 years I’ll be ok what about the ppl with less seniority? This is all just crap!

I agree with you, he explicitly said the Mach-E is way better than the Edge and we don’t want commodity products we want passion products lol. They realize the product they’re working on probably wouldn’t even sell 50000 a year so that’s why we’re in this mess. Some people honestly believe the next step will be a plant closure. I won’t go that far yet, anything is possible with Ford.

Farley never had any intention of continuing the commodity product Edge. He would rather have an assembly plant site idle til 2027 which is insane! I don’t believe this study bullshit.

Still trying to process this 2027 crap.
