As a 65 Mustang convertible owner, I want to point out that Ford vehicles scored very well in the new ownership survey over at JD Power. (I think Ford had more models in the top initial satisfaction category than any other maker, though that number included Mazda.) It bested a few of the well known name plates. Ford has bettered its quality and the results are beginning to show. I will dig up the JD Power report if you want, and you understand my bias and sympathy for Ford colors my viewpoint. But it ain’t all bad news, even if they are letting Volvo go cheaply. I expect this portends a significantly quarterly loss report from Ford and continued problems in the near term, however.

My biggest complaint about newer Ford cars is the ungreaseable front suspension, a problem with much more than Ford. The car starts to creak after a while, and is often totaled when a rinding suspension component snaps.

I've found Fords to be excellent cars. Mine have all been extremely reliable and trouble-free.

I'm not surprised that they are now on top when it comes to quality ratings.
