I just watched the youtube video. Is Bill Ford a complete imbecile?
Why is Jim Farley still employed by Ford Motor Company.
Wake up Bill before your company is worthless. Its terrible that Ford employees won't buy the vehicles!
And…?
I have recalls on top of recalls Refixing things the car was already recalled for and oh by the way the dealer doesn’t have parts.
"I think they finally have their issue resolved."
Positive thinking in Software does not get you anywhere.
Annualizes at 25,000 per year. 12,000 new Escapes on Cars.com. Platform is SUNK.
While Ford has certainly faced its fair share of production issues over the past three years or so, yet another problem reared its ugly head recently at the Louisville Assembly plant – a software issue – which prompted the automaker to pause production of the refreshed 2023 Ford Escape and Lincoln Corsair for several weeks. Production resumed just yesterday, March 6th, but as a result of this shut down, very few Corsair crossovers have been built so far this year – just 366, in fact. However, the 2023 Ford Escape hasn’t fared much better, either.
In January, The Blue Oval built a total of 3,901 2023 Ford Escape models, followed by 494 in February, making for a grand total of 4,395 units year-to-date. It’s worth noting that all of these vehicles are pre-production models, but these are still very low figures, particularly given the fact that Ford sold a total of 6,447 Escapes last month alone.
While both refreshed models have been affected by this software bug, it seems as if the Corsair took the brunt of the impact, though there is some reason for optimism moving forward. FoMoCo recently discovered a fix for this problem – which reportedly affected the vehicles’ gauge clusters. As a result, production of both models has already restarted, though no retail units of either the 2023 Escape or Corsair have been delivered yet.
“We do have a new re-flash to address the programming issue we have with the clusters,” Brandon Reisinger, building chairman for the Louisville plant, recently told employees at that facility. “This re-flash does appear to be good. In all of the testing, they’ve had no issues so far. I think they finally have their issue resolved.”

Another feather in Ford and Bronco's hat. Buy a new Ford and told "do not drive."
