What is with all the recalls?

[horned-toad]

Doesn't appear you own one...

650? No I do not. I won't touch it because I know just how bad Ford is at electronics and software. But I have had six 550s.

It's always the same... The only users that have bad experiences with the s650 don't own one lol It's always s550 owners or challenger owners who are trying to cope that they don't have the new model It's called the Old Model Cope. Happens every generation with every vehicle.

Comment is wild. S550 owners aren't coping over anything. If anything, its the opposite. Enjoying our cars and not stressing about new model recalls. Hope they clean it up. "All new" model at the same time as extensive labor strikes, can't say I'm surprised.

I think you’ll find that the vast majority of issues actual owners have had are minor. I’ve heard a few exceptions, but very few. Most of the gripes and complaints are from the same posters in nearly every thread bringing up the same complaints over and over. Oh, and the ones regurgitating the same junk on every thread don’t even own an S650.

This. Exactly.

Old Model Cope example. I'm on an S650 forum with an S650. You're on an S650 forum without an s650.

The mustang has always been a piece of trash. But American consumers are just fine with that.

What's telling is that the Asians, esp the Koreans are able to match German and Japanese precision for far less money.

Ford could do it too. Nothing the Asians do is new, bespoke, or unobtainable, Detroit just doesn't care about quality, full stop.

Yet another "Lather. Rinse. Repeat." poster child. *yawn*

I'm gonna say it, all the best brands recall. Ford recalled our explorer because the clips on the roof rack near the back could pop up, yes, really. I also remember them recalling the ecosport to change a page in the owners manual.

Meanwhile, Hyundai and Kia engines have insane failure rates than were never really effectively addressed, Nissan refused to do anything about their infamous cvts shitting the bed, and Toyota and Hondas are having engine issues left and right on new models.

We live in an imperfect world. Cars are fkn a have issues regardless of brand, at least Ford tries to do something about it.

What do you want from us exactly? We all have our own garden to tend to, buy something that F'n Consumer Reports loves more.

So, it wasn't just me?!

PS: I respectfully suggest any anxious, disaffected, or otherwise psychically troubled Non Owners go camp out in a Yugo or Lada forum. They've got lots of room for you and there's a dragons hoard of legitimate issues to thrash on until you feel better.

This forum has been quite antsy lately, what's in the air???

 

[crispaul77]

I agree I mean there's really no need for these negative responses

...so joining a forum dedicated to a car you've decided not to buy and starting a thead about a recall epidemic that doesn't exist is positive and normal behavior?

Old Model Cope example. I'm on an S650 forum with an S650. You're on an S650 forum without an s650.

What's with the gatekeeping, my guy? I like both platforms?

It's crazy. I can't imagine having the time to join a forum of a car that I don't plan on owning It's pathetic.

Again with this asinine perspective. We're all Mustang enthusiasts and can frequent whatever pages we like.
