Hopefully not. Both Ford and the parts suppliers benefit from a quick resolution. As much as a supplier doesn't want to lose Fords business, I can only guess what it costs Ford to find a new source for a part that is already being produced by someone as opposed to just figuring it out and moving forward. If a supplier wants to keep making parts for Ford, they will both spend the time required to ensure a low failure rate as well as the mentioned quick resolutions.That new warranty stance with shared costs on the suppliers end is going to end up making a lot of attorneys rich. The amount of finger pointing between Ford and the suppliers will be impossible and definitely lead to trouble with dealers and buyers. Since Ford won’t let the dealer touch a Voodoo that has failed, Ford will have the final say in what caused the failure and try to place blame somewhere. This is really going to be a huge issue going forward.
I forget how many versions there were but Mustang AC evaporators went through the ringer. Extra time spent initially in testing might have resulted in a lot fewer headaches for consumers...and less expense for Ford...as an example.
