Old joke nga ng erpats ko: FORD starts for Fix Or Repair Daily hahaha.


Kidding aside, Sabi nila yung American Ford daw yung junk, pero British Ford daw yung reliable. Is this true? This statement came from my dad since he previously owned 2 Ford Escorts back in the 70s-80s. The first one is the "Brenda" and the 2nd one he owns is the Rally-prepped RS.

Ahhh...RS2000 still w/ him? Had the 2door Mk II while an uncle had a Mexico Mk I. Fun simple lil cars. I still kick myself today for giving that 1 up. Was young, dumb, & broke...now not much of the 1st 2, but still broke.[emoji852]

Don’t know how to comment on that one since the ecoboost engine in our Focus blew a piston but a certain Japanese manufacturer can also do that if ran too hard... Other than that, the car seems pretty solid.

We also have a 2013 Ranger and its pretty reliable. May speed boost pa na nilagay after the warranty expired... and it has none of those turbo issues. I think the ranger is designed by Ford Australia?

For the American Ford, we had a 2004 Escape 2.3 before. That thing was also solid as hell and we had no problems with it during ownership. It got into an accident, went off road during high speed. Nahulog sa farm. The only part that was damaged was the front bumper. We sold it in 5 years though and replaced it with a Fortuner so I can’t comment on a very long term reliability.

But the way their business strategy is going now, depriving other markets of small cars and concentrating on SUVs, is a pretty crappy move honestly. May market pa rin naman for it.

Escape 2.3 is a Mazda rebadged as a Ford

there's an ancient joke,,,
a newly-deceased soul finds himself in heaven, and sees... "why is that guy here in heaven? he was my neighbor, and he was a scoundrel!"
and St Peter says, because "he drove a ford".
...substitute any other car brand for "ford", depending on the target population of the joke.

newer models are following 12mo or 1yr (w/ever) comes first) maintenance intervals. its the most affordable in the industry. 5yr extended warranty is also optional and sometimes comes free. i think these things make the ownership less worry free.

one of the biggest ford clubs is now partnering with laus group. they already have fair pricing with autohub group.

I think theyre in the right direction.

I think the conditions in the Philippines is too harsh for a 1 year oil change... looking at their website for reference, nakita ko 1 year na daw ang change oil ng Ranger.

Kakapachange oil lang namin sa Ranger, mura naman kung hindi lang napalitan ng belt. 5k lang total price sa oil nila. 8 liters ata yun

I think its fine coz of the 8L. newer trucks have nore oil for longer intervals. though there is some oil consumption on the newer ranger engine

speaking of Ford. madami pa din bumibili ng ranger, at gwapong gwapo talaga sila.
i watch vloggers and other people posting sa youtube about it. mga 20s to 30s mga bumibili.

Despite all the crap that people say against Ford, it still holds a big chunk on the global auto sales market. The Philippine market is not as important to auto makers compared to the bigger markets like North America and Europe.

Consumer Protection lang talaga mahina dito unlike markets where Ford is strong because those local dealers of that country HAVE TO repair or replace the problematic part(s). I do like some Ford models even now pero with no "recommended" dealer/service center in the area, it is just hard to consider for fear of lackluster after sales.

Alam ko meron mga gumagawa sa labas, but I can't bother with those, nor any of my relatives kaya hindi ko lang din marecommend.

Anu ba nangyari sa Explorer dito locally? Diba never nila naayos yung exhaust fumes getting into the cabin via the A/C? May class action lawsuit sa US na ongoing pa din last I checked. But I never heard about recalls here. I only have 1 acquaintance that owned an Explorer that suffered the same (along with Ford Sync Issue, 2.0 ata na Sync na yun na may issue din nung lumabas) but he already sold it sa sakit sa ulo nung kanya specifically. Isang issue din niya was that his battery just died less than a year (di ko na alam if napalitan ba yun ng service center or may sira alternator niya even while within warranty and casa maintained).

Again, that's just for the Explorer. Uncle who owned Focus and Fiesta also suffered a lot of issues. Walang maayos support makuha sa Ford Q Ave talaga.

Still a big chunk on global sales. It is not a negligible number to speak of. Maybe Ford will see its demise if its sales go down lower than Kia or Mazda.

[thearsenal1205]

their F-Series pickup sales are still strong as well, only in the U.S.

They're too big, w/ a complete lineup from the smallest of cars to the largest of trucks, to just roll over & die....but it doesn't change the fact that they're struggling....& their products are kinda 'junk'. Pardon me, bai....like you, had tried Ford, too....& Chevy...won't defend those & no plans of having American anymore. [emoji853][emoji4]
