A bad infotainment system spans many vehicles. My wife has a Volvo-I have a Silverado. Both infotainment systems are wonky and plagued with software issues. The last OTA software update Volvo pushed wouldn't load to my wife's car. Had it installed at the dealer and was told even they had to make multiple attempts to get it to load. It's done now.
Given the fact that Ford's ramped down EV production for the moment, and basically only sells one EV in the states, EV transit is small volume and the lightning is gone, so it's just Mach-e in the US mostly, I'm not super concerned about Ford's current EV prospects.
It's all about CE1 right now. If they can execute stellar products leveraging that platform, they'll be fine.
That's true but there are plenty of cases where the supplier is to blame like the bad valves in the ecoboost v6s that weren't properly heat treated. OTOH the original bronco hardtop issue was on Ford for not doing proper due diligence on a final mass production sample.
Does this look like a company in trouble? Expected $8-$10B profit in 2026 without any new vehicles and without edge and escape. With at least 4-5 new products in the pipeline targeting more affordable prices it should get even better the next 3-4 years especially if warranty costs continue to go down.
All you hand-wringer sky is falling folks need to stop.
