Ford has adopted a really interesting method to handle any defects in their automobile design. They catch it early and contain their costs.
Ford Motor has it's act together. This is the second recall whereby the number of autos on the street were minimized by early recall. It has nothing to do with image. There is every reason to believe the less up front a company is while delaying and denying auto dangers the more cars they sell. Ford is taking a modernized approach to their corporate image. It is understated and rock solid.
Ford is among the first to harness the morality of the USA Consumer. They are among the earliest company to seek understanding of alternative energies and support it. That is in the energy sector whereby electric cars are sincerely green.
Ford Motors CEO recognizes the huge financial burden of enormous recalls while denying the problem, ie: Toyota and Jeep.
I am impressed by Ford for the 'entire' of it's corporate culture. Thank you.
Ford recalls 33K+ C-Max Hybrids over crash safety concerns (click here)
Saturday, July 27, 2013
LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Ford Motor Company recalled more than 33,000 cars, over fears they might not protect occupants' heads in a crash.
The recall involves 33,021 C-Max Hybrids manufactured between Jan. 19, 2012 and June 25, 2013. The recall only involves models without the panoramic glass roofs.
There aren't any reported injuries, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found the car did not conform to safety standards during tests.
Ford will notify owners next month and fix the problem for free. Owners can also contact the NHTSA's Vehicle Safety Hotline at (888) 327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
Recalls are going to happen. For all the testing that occurs with automobiles there are going to be those marginal problems that won't show up until their are larger numbers being used in the real world. Ford Motor has a future and it's corporate culture based in American morality is rock solid in that future. They are smart folks at Ford. They haven't disappointed me yet.

In 2013, Ford DSFL is doubling the number of students it reaches with its hands on driving programs to 40,000. This includes visits to at least 40 high schools in Arizona, California, Illinois, Michigan, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia with an array of activities focused on common driving challenges faced by teen drivers. Teens will be able to experience real-world driving situations in a controlled environment using specially equipped vehicles. The hands-on clinics offer professional drivers and activities that build skills in five key areas: driver distraction, speed management, space management, vehicle handling and hazard recognition.
In addition to the hands-on clinics, Ford Driving Skills for Life will reach an additional 150 high schools with its safe driving materials, Web-based learning, partnerships with state highway safety agencies, fun contests and free educational materials for parents and teachers.
