A Serious Warning to All Ford Owners (A Fatal Flaw Just Found in Many Fords) Andy47357: 1: 00 more than likely it was a bad batch of parts that were not picked up by quality during a changeover and were out of tolerance; making the steering racks for the explorer we have made a few batches (countable by 1 hand) that were contained before they were assembled into steering racks. and they were contained because they were literally only 15 microns (0. 015mm) out of tolerance. if we didn t we wouldn t be IATF 16949 certified. but that is absolutely unacceptable to have parts go unchecked and put into to actual cars that people depend on. can t say quality isn t there scotty, it s called a lack of employee diligence to make quality parts over quantity of parts by cutting corners and engineers not increasing the safety factor of parts past 1. 5-2. 0 especially since nowadays they push materials to the limit of stress hence the reason for a lot less fixable sub assemblies of major parts

Ford with safety as their first priority? Hilarious! !
They're a corporation, profit is their first priority, due to legal obligations to their shareholders. That's just one example of capitalism's 7 pillars of socioapthy.
Stainless steel braided hoses such as Russell Performance Products stainless steel braided brake hoses will improve brake responsiveness because they don't expand under heat and pressure like a stock hose can. If you're gonna replace 'em anyway, might as well pring for the good tuff?

Scotty, out of all the models Ford produces the only one you mentioned having this problem was the Edge and it's Lincoln counterpart the MKS. I find this a bit odd since these two vehicles are basically the same underneath their skin. Could there possibly be something on or in these cars that is causing the brake hoses to go bad instead of just faulty or cheap hoses? Just a thought that might need to be investigated. What say you? Enjoy your videos and hope you have a great day.

GMC should be doing the same thing. My truck we had to completely change all brake lines below the vehicle. Even two of the heavy metal ends rusted away to cause a leak. There needs to be some government standards on these brake lines. I can only imagine how many people have died because of the steel lines bursting after a little rust attacks them. I replaced all the lines with copper nickel lines, but the rubber lines. I just replaced. there is no option on those.

Guys, American cars may look cheap to buy and look nice from outside and inside. Not buy them, pay a bit more for different Japanese brands.
In Scotty comments he mention a guy who got a FREE Jetta car and worried about transmission reall y funny.
Another guy bought 1500 Nissan and sharing his worries for the transmission. COVID-19 effect must be

1: 10 in my opinion, the USA hasn't been free market capitalist since 1916. The proof is in the pudding
1: 24 yeah. It's called competition. But we all know what government power and corporate lobbyist did with competition in the back in the 60's with the grey import vehicle market, don't we, Scotty?

Re the Jetta transmission, My experience is all those double clutch robotised manual (DSG) transmissions are rubbish. They drive badly and break. On the Jetta concerned it was probably like that from new, the good news is it hasn't broken yet. Give me a proper torque converter automatic anytime.

I m 15, turning 16 in September and looking at an imported Toyota ST205 Celica GT-Four cause I want an AWD car for Chicago weather. It s from JDMclassics but I m not sure if I can get it or know all details on what to check for sure. Might go 15, 000 in price. Is it a good idea as a first car?

I've owned nothing but Ford's for 50 years, including a 71 pinto that was struck from behind twice and didn't burst into flames. I have 4 Fords now and totally trust them. 3 of them have over 300, 000 miles each with little repair work required. Have a new F-150 and love it.

I have a 2001 Mercedes Benz ML320 sport package with about 180k miles, still original engine and transmission but the AC compressor was replaced last year, the SUV still runs like a champ though I regularly maintain it i. e changing the fluids and filters.
