In regards to the camera I’m lost here but why would ford put shit cameras in their vehicles??? They’re cheap bastards that perpetually wonder why bad shit happens to them over and over.....you make your own luck, cutting your way to profit on new vehicles has consequences Theres also a long history of Ford screwing down supplier prices but not monitoring the quality supplied for the price.

WillSD Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 At the monthly sales recap broadcast, Ford presented a chart showing impact of "chip shortage" & "other factors". Chip Shortage: High Impact - F150, Edge, Escape & Ecosport ; with Ecosport being the most impacted. Minimal Impact - Explorer & Transit. No Impact - Mustang, Bronco Sport, MachE, Expedition & Super Duty. Other (Weather, Supplier & Manufacturing): High Impact - Bronco Sport & MachE. Minimal Impact - Mustang, Bronco Sport, MachE, Explorer, Expedition, F150 & Super Duty . To address these concerns, Ford is cutting / deferring rental volume, deferring commercial / government volume & cutting company car orders on high impact lines.

akirby Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 What’s happening in Mexico that makes it high impact? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillSD Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 They didn't elaborate much on the "other factors" ; mentioned the freezing weather & snow in the southern US wreaking havoc on the supply chain. It is a one-way broadcast; we can't submit questions like the town hall meetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s true if you go the cheap route most of the time then there is bound to be some quality issues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy who is my salesman for my Bronco was telling me the other day when I saw him (we are friends also) said the camera situation Ford has is horrible...they have the recall going on and the replacements aren't holding up to abuse in tailgates and whatnot because they aren't automotive spec cameras? Most of the forecasting does indeed point towards the chip shortage improving latter half of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 As for the camera situation-not sure what is required for a recall, but it is possible that the replacement cameras could be worse then the originals?? I’m taking it with a grain of salt, but I could see something like that happening due to everything that is happening. I don’t think Ford could wait 6 months to a year to replace them?

I'm still waiting for back up camera replacement on mine. Dealer says it's on back order and "maybe" end of March. It has been almost 6 months since recall was announced. Good thing though that camera works most of the time. Not sure what the long delay is all about. Guess I've driven most of my life without back up camera.

Hopefully with $3+ gas coming and all trims available with hybrid now, and fleet sales starting to come back, 2021 should be a better year once supply issues calm down. The Escape was designed as a bridge vehicle between two segments-and Ford missed the mark on both. That's what it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snooter Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Waiting for month over month results with $5/gal gas at the pump....good chance we see that by summer....ford truck company might have not been wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Look at all the hybrids Ford has, that’s a company hedging against $5/gal gasoline. Those models mightn’t seem overly popular now but could come into play in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
