  1. I would like to see a separate forum for dealer complaints. The topic of this forum is not "True Confessions: I Got Screwed by Ford", it's "Here is my advice for how to improve the company".

     

     

     

    not a bad idea. Maybe if we see certain trends in dealer service they can be addressed.

  2. What do the retiree's have to offer?????

     

     

     

     

     

    Also, you honestly think that the cars built back in the 70's and 80's are better "quality" then what is being built today?

     

     

     

    2 points here,

    It sounds like Richard wants Ford to consult with retirees for their "creative talents" My view is, they are part of the problem. They are the ones that made the half-assed cars of the day. EVEN if that statement is wrong, there are a whole lot of import buyers to believe its true. If you tell these people that Ford is dusting off the ones who made the crap cars that turned them off of Detroit in the first place... you will have destroyed everything the company has tried to do in the past 3-5 years with cars like the Fusion, 500 and F150.

     

     

    And yes, cars are better today. Please dont confuse crumple zones with quality. That is government mandate, not a styling decision. There is no way a 1986 Mustang measures up in any way to a 2006 Mustang. Same with F150. And there is no way in the world you will convince me that the Granada is a better product than the Fusion.

  3. What more needs to be said, really?

     

    Bill looks like the biggest pussy since Clay Aiken. PR could have been used both ways, and the AFA could have been portrayed as the hateful little shitbags they are...but now Bill looks spineless, and the already floundering NA operations will likely suffer because of this.

     

    :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

     

    Pa-fucking-thetic.

     

     

     

    how is the CEO search going?

  4. J-150,

     

    The viability of Ford and my future Pension payments go hand-in-hand. Ford, in an effort to cut costs, has been nibbling away at my Pension Income. One by increasing my Healthcare Drug Co-pay when in reality, when I qualilified for Medicare, my Healthcare costs to Ford went down significantly and two by eliminating the Annual year-end inflation adjustment.

     

    I would like Ford to use the creative talents of current retirees to keep the Company viable and profitable. By your remark you apparently didn't understand my concern.

     

     

     

    with all due respect, what do the retirees have to offer? Ford and the vehicles they offered us in the 70's, 80's and 90's are entirely the reason wht people have left for Toyota and Honda and are never coming back to Ford. Ford needs new minds and new ideas.

     

    The reality is, Ford won't be growing anytime soon. What they need to do is stop the bleeding and stablilize first. I wouldnt expect to see any market share gains for 10 years (long enough for people to forget about all of the crap that was sold in the past)

  5. Mr. Ford,

     

    I care about the future of Ford. I frequently dream that I still work there only to wake up and find out I don't.

     

    Please visit the "Ford Employee Retiree Network" part of the BlueOvalForums. Can someone at Ford begin a dialog with the vast creative base of retired Ford employees?

     

    Or should we just let our Pensions be eaten away by inflation, gradually degrade our lifestyle, do less with less and eventually not be able to "afford a Ford"?

     

    We want to be Part of the Solution not Part of the Problem!!!!!!!!!

     

     

     

    so you didn't plan for your retirement and now you want more money

  6. Someone better do something about this because this is unbelieveably crooked. And by the way, yes I did regular changes with high synthetic 5W-30 oil and Ford FL-820 filters with my mechanic. I'm going to dig through my records to get everything that I have, but techincally I should not have to show them that info.

     

     

    ummm... if you did your own oil, then of course you need to prove that you did it and more importantly, did it correctly.

  7. I wanted to send a "Big Thank You" to all of the workers at Dearborn Truck who did a magnificent job of assembling my F-150. It just turned over 20,000 miles on the way home from work tonight. It's been trouble free...one of the finest Fords I've ever owned.

    Keep up the good work!

     

     

    it should be noted that this is a new product line for Dearborn. These guys are new to making F150s (unlike NAP or KC plants) and they still did a kickass job!

     

    A testament to the skill of the Dearborn workers.

  8. great to see you are still plucking away too OTISFORDSUCKS..........keep up the great work, and maybe bill will care one of these day's about his loyal customers.....

    hotwheels of insanemustangs.com

     

     

    where are the loyal customers?

     

    I only see former customers that never intend to buy a Ford ever again. Former customers that just like to whine about how hard done-by they are.

  9. Yes! I agree with you! It's the best tactic to get rid of loyal customers one by one.... one at the time.... Call them "losers" and they will turn out into winners buying japanese.....

     

    Ignore the problems by sweeping them under the rug.....

     

    You don't need much eduction to do that. ;)

     

     

    BS! You are already lost as a customer. Bill could come to your house and personally plant his lips on your butt. You still are not going to buy another Ford so why waste the time.

  10. If you're talking in regards to GM, if you haven't heard yet it 's the Oshawa #2 plant and the parts plant in St. Catherines that are slated to be closed. Shitty deal to say the least. Hope the Government wakes up and stops these foreign automakers from flooding the North American market SOON!!!

     

     

     

    with Toyota opening a new plant in Woodstock, I dont see any government goining after them
