Thread regarding Ford layoffs

Management Lease Vehicles

I am hearing these LL telling people how good their vehicles are, because it's still new. They only drive these vehicle for a year at the most, so they have no ideal how unreliable these vehicles are.

If you purchased a Ford or Lincoln and the vehicle is trouble free during the first year. then you are the lucky one.

Most if not all of them have many problems that LL are told not to talk about. Don't advertise any safety or quality problems with anyone or anywhere. Deal with it until you turn the vehicle in for another new one.

This is why none of my family and friend purchase Ford products.

I have a mgmt lease 3 years old 50k. Thought it would be bad and expected issues, really none compared to the 2005 era.

Ford tends to hide all of the bad problems under the rug. It's always backed fired.

Now that the public knows how bad Ford quality is and has been, nobody is interested in buying a Fix Or Repair Daily- F O R D.

LL2 and above should be made to go to Ford Dealerships to get oil changed and purchase vehicles. It will give them an idea of what regular customers go thru.

Having a special Lease Center perk for them is a big mistake. It does not help the company. They can still get their special lease but must go through the real process with the Dealer first.

LL6 and above should be required to drive vehicles that are 3+ years in service. Not as their sole vehicle but, say, 1.5 weeks a month. Let them get a feel for how vehicles age, surfaces wear, gaps open up,etc. The most vocal customer is one who's required to pay thousands of dollars for repairs on a vehicle that's "just out of warranty".

My job at Ford years ago when I first started was to go around to the various lease car garages and fix the problems in the vehicles for my activity. They told me it was to get an early warning about problems before they bothered the customers.

Right.

I always said that Ford management, especially the executives, should have to go to dealerships to get their cars fixed, not get the engineers to fix them.

LOL, problem free vehicle rumors are a joke. I cant count high enough over the years how many times I got a call that someones management vehicle has a problem and were supposed to drop everything were doing to go fix the problem.

The only reason it’s a good deal is the free insurance and maintenance

I've been there and I experienced all of the problems with my management lease vehicles.

Ford management are trained to paint a pretty picture of the company and products to help the company sell their poor quality products.

It's your make a good quality products, the products sells itself.

The lease garage at WHQ is always full of management lease vehicles having issues. Don't be fooled.
