“Mistakenly, we thought that by just introducing artificial intelligence and adjusting the design requirements that we had, that that would produce a high-quality product,” said Charles Poon, VP of vehicle hardware engineering, in a briefing this week with reporters.

    Can’t blame AI for the fact that I know of at least 2 Ford transit vans whose turbo blew within 6 months 5 years ago, and a ranger with oil leaks

    The only thing keeping ford in business here in Australia (other than the mustang), are the yobbos who want to believe Chy-na is producing bad cars still.

    They’ve been producing crap for decades

      They set the gas line like 3" above the turbo exhaust on the first Gen escape apparently not the 1st Gen but yeah (that doesn’t even have a turbo 🤦🏼‍♀️)

      I made an interesting observation - I see small oil leaks more frequently than when I made my driving license in 1988. In both cases, living in an European suburb. No idea why … perhaps it is because people have more cars and drive less? Or changes in car design and construction?

        The ranger with oil leaks I think was burning oil. It needed regular oil refilling until it was fixed.

        My jeep is also hot garbage too
