Ford lays off 600 workers at plant targeted by UAW strike::Ford is laying off workers while the UAW is striking against Ford, GM, and Stellantis. This is getting complicated.

Interestingly, the German mandated car inspections are a good source for reliability, and Fords are almost always in the top few spots in terms of "severe faults found on the car", and it's not like other foreign, or even American cars have this problem at the inspections... mainly Fords

Oh, I'm not claiming Ford's are good cars, their ecotech engines are incredibly prone to dying early on due to their faulty design. With that said, I've heard stories where Chrysler engines where great, but the Mercedes transmissions they came with were terrible. Then there are terrible reliability stories from Lancia, Lotus, and Alfa Romeo. Chevrolet has had some flops as well.
