Happen to agree with Genius09. Ford's ratings in the JD Power Dependability studies have plummeted of late (don't read the automotive reviews, which are useless). Its popular Escape and Explorer models have issues with driveability related to bad throttle bodies, and the Focus and Fiesta have a terrible dual-clutch automatic transmission. Lots of unhappy Ford owners, and bad word of mouth and online reviews are sinking the stock. Ford needs to keep its quality assurance people on the job.
