I like seeing a Toyota on the road and it has a proudly served military sticker on it Guess they forgot how Japan bombed us The way I see it is You fight for this country then support this country not Japan or all the other foreign automakers |

You do realize Japan is an ally now right? Their people still don’t buy Ford vehicles or other American company vehicles so I could care less if they are friend. They don’t allow us to sell vehicles in there country to the extent that we allow them to sell here so I could care less. Your an American buy American vehicles Cause a Japanese person will buy a vehicle that represents their country. But an American sure will buy their product which is bullshit So you and your Japan ally theory isn’t enough to make me go buy a Toyota cause I’m American and will support this country . Oh and next time you see a military veteran bumper sticker on the back of that foreign car just ask yourself how many Japanese veterans from the Japan military are riding around in a Ford with a bumper sticker that says Japanese Military Veteran. |

Only made a valid statement
So your gonna buy a vehicle made by an IRAQ company if they set up shop in the USA.
Y’all miss the whole point
If Americans would buy American vehicles we would have the market share like we use to but people insist on buying that Foreign crap

Maybe if Ford makes a vehicle that would last longer then 5 yrs with out breaking something,then people wouldnt need to buy foreign cars. American cars are great,for a few yrs,then they turn into junk.Yes I'm sure someone on here has a Ford, that has 500,000 miles and only has had tires and plugs ect yeah yeah,that's a 1 in a million.Plus if you buy a used foreign car,u are helping a local seller,not Japan or Canada or whatever country. We all get that u want to " represent" Ford because you work here...but common man lol use some common sense. I would never eat at Denny's,because I worked there and I know what goes on in the back,same with Ford,we all see how half assed this shit is put together. But yet you are all BUY FORD ITS GREAT YEAH FOR MURICA...🙄

I’ve bought 15 cars and trucks since I’ve worked here I’ve NEVER had 1 problem.American cars last just as long as rice burners.That was the 80s things have changed. No things haven't changed,My wife has a 2012 escape..have had the AC changed out,Alternator, ignition control module,check oil light switch,and the rear hatch release all go out, with in 4 yrs. my civic has only had the alternator and starter replaced and it's a 1999. No American car can compare to a import for power, miles per gallon,price and reliability. And for the guy saying the Japanese dont have American cars,they do. Not as many as here no,because they know they dont last like imports. You are right about one thing tho,its not the 80s so get over the you need to drive a Ford or Chevy because u work at one of the plants. I'm sure the phone u use or a number of other thing are imports. Hell the cars and trucks we make are not even built in the states.half the parts that go on them are built in other countries. We just Assemble them. I work for Ford for one reason,to make money,dont give a rat's ass about the shit cars or trucks we build...dont @ me |

Unlike you, I’m not afraid to shut down the line to fix a problem. And for another thing America made trucks and full size SUV’s (which is what we build in this plant last time I checked) are as good or better than anything made in Japan. I know several people that work for Toyota in Georgetown and have met several people in here over the years that have also worked in Georgetown. It’s seems to be no different than this place, but you probably can’t be convinced of that because you read too many car and drivers and consumers reports magazines 🙄 You’re like a lot of new people, and people whom have never worked in the automotive industry. You’ve probably wiped some armor all on your tires and maybe changed a spark plug or two and you think you know all there is to know about automotive manufacturing. Fact is if we don’t build these trucks in a timely fashion we don’t make any money. |

Wow...no I have worked on all my cars 86mustang,pulled tranny 5 times,95 escort blew transmission, then blew the motor,6 civics,trans went out on one. 86 caddy. Rebuilt 2 91 eagle talons tsi,I have had my fare share or wrenching since I was 16. It's not hard to spot quality,and I have voiced my concerns with ford and HR before,if u think it matters it doesnt. I have seen people punch cars on the line and the supervisor or team lead do nothing,HR did nothing. Idk what world u are stuck in,but Ford only cares about one thing,getting the number,that's it,they dont care if the vehicle is messed up or if every bolt is re threaded on the block. I wonder every time I am at work how 90% of the people that work here even passed the damn test. Anyway I drive what I know is reliable,what because of where I work. Honda has done me no wrong, for the amount of abuse I put in each honda I have owned. You can buy the junk new,keeps me on the line so whatever lol #voteyes |

For every story like yours there’s one totally opposite.I would ask you this?IF the ONLY way you got hired was you had to drive a FORD to work ,would you have turned it down or bought a FORD??This is hypothetically speaking I know they can’t require that.I wish they had a lot ONLY for rice burners,like by Walmart

The sad part of reality is some of the people just don’t care about the future. They only see now and money that they can get their hands on faster. A lot of kids, and a lot of addicts having no concept of what’s important or “money” an already having ideas of how to spend it. Instead of fighting for each other retirees, temps, new hires, and us in between. The Comediens act like it’s a hell of a deal and personally I think it’s shit.
