I heard about this earlier today. Seems crazy to me if it’s as straight forward as it sounds.

Just another reason not to buy a POS Ford. Overpriced and lacking quality. My dodge has 218,000 miles and not one major thing has gone wrong on it. Let's see that from a Ford. As far as defunding the Police, anyone who thinks that is a good idea is a ****ing moron and doesn't deserve to breathe the same air as the rest of us!!!

I was about to say the same thing! My wife has a 2013 explorer! Just replaced the throttle body. The paint sucks, it was bubbling up on the front of the hood after 1 year. The plastic window pillars just fly off! I know you have seen the explorers missing them. There everywhere but yet ford wont recall them. Will never buy another ford. Last 3 trucks were rams dating back to 07 and never any issues except a few minor things.

If you read the article, it is the Ford Foundation, not Ford Motor Company, entirely two different entities. Unfortunately the spoiled, entitled Mr. Ford serves on the Ford Foundation Board. And yes, giving money to Defund the Police is a TERRIBLE idea.

That’s what I was wondering. Is it just a foundation that Ford motor company doesn’t control and is an entirely different entity? Or is it still associated with Ford motors?

It is not Ford motor company . It is https://www.fordfoundation.org/

Here you go. It was started by fird motor but now separate.

It's not very straight forward. Ford Foundation was split from FMC 30 years ago according to the article. Just because Henry Ford III is now on the board for Ford Foundation doesn't mean FMC is donating to BLM and the defund the police movement.

The article is titled "Henry Ford's great-great-grandson to reconnect family to Ford Foundation", not to FMC.

Definitely questionable though. If I was a dealer, I would be very concerned. But seriously, what else are police going to ride around in? One headlight GM's?

Atleast they don't have to ride around in a Dodge!

I guess since ol Henry's great great grandson works for ford and now sits on the board of the foundation, it's associated enough. Making millions off police departments then donating to defund the police. Typical of the (D)oublestandardcrats...

agreed, the ones I know that had a charger couldn't wait to give that crap back when it was time.

Not one major thing but 200 minor things

Oops, quoted the wrong post - was supposed to be in response to urbanbucks Dodge with no major issues. So, his is the one.
