2027 Ford F-150: Start-Stop and Cylinder Deactivation Changes   Think these details should be highlighted.

Well considering that the 2 tone package costs like 20K to get, your gonna need another year or two to afford it LOL

This.  Evidence that the new process is working.  However, it is frustrating for those of us who own vehicles with seemingly endless recalls and “re-recalls”.  For me, the frustration is more about trusting the dealer not to fuck something up while attempting to complete the recall work (Lincoln/Ford dealer service in and around Indy metro is mediocre at best).  

I was just going to post this! But it's going to take more than this to finance a vehicle for 7 years!

I saw one yesterday and can't fathom why anybody would buy that thing. A toaster has more personality.   

It's the definition of anonymous blob.

We've been through this.  Part of their new process is looking for old problems and fixing them now rather than waiting for a nhtsa investigation.  Another big chunk is repeat recalls because the quick fix didn't work.  A lot of the new ones are found quickly with small numbers.  It will get better over time but will appear worse for another year or two.   If they do the root cause analysis correctly it will show them that squeezing suppliers too hard is a big part of the problem and hopefully they're working on it.  The problem is the supplier cost is with procurement and warranty claims are somewhere else.  Procurement needs to answer to the product and warranty teams.

The recalls are two pronged in my view. There are still engineering and production issues but they are getting better about finding them sooner and resolving. The number of vehicles per recall has come down significantly. The other thing to consider is Ford had to pay a $165M civil penalty to NHTSA in 2024 for delaying a recall of rearview cameras. Part of the deal was they have regular audits with NHTSA and a third party oversight for four years. Whereas Toyota or Honda can issue a special service campaign, aka we will fix this issue when you come in for service, Ford is not allowed to do that until the four years are complete. Every little thing is a full recall.    I think this spanking from NHTSA is more likely to drive fundamental engineering changes at Ford than anything else. 

Borg is exactly the person you give intentionally bad information to just to see where leaks are coming from. Take anything he says with a grain of salt
