The problem has been brewing for over a decade. The big three cannot make a profit selling compact cars, high union wages being one problem, so they have abandoned the compact car market to the Japanese and Koreans. Now that problem has just gotten worse as China is eating Japan and Korean's lunch in EVs. High tariffs on cars made in China, over priced hybrids may keep them afloat (hide their problems) for a short while but it is not going to solve the basic problem. They need to cut wages, automate and learn to make cheaper and better cars.

I worked for Ford dealerships turning wrenches most of my early years. I earn a strong income but no way could I afford to drive a new Ford truck. Its a depreciating asset and shouldn't be competing with my mortgage payment.. they priced themselves out of the middle class market! Only the lucky lottery winner could afford one now.
It's a depreciating liability because they are built disposable, plastic, unreliable electronics, and will never increase in value like the classic & vintage iron & steel & chrome, fuses...
Except I love fuel injection. Consider that if you don't care about emissions anyway, to be okay with a carb'd computerless vehicle, that your ECM wouldn't have to use so many sensors either. I do think it is great to be able to hook up a scan tool and see things like that it's running too lean, because of a vac leak or low fuel pressure.

Dear Ford & other corporations, Stop making vehicles that owners can't work on themselves. Right to repair. Stop making vehicles with so many expensive electronics that begin to fail after 5 years. Stop charging crazy dealer service labor rates. Support spare parts indefinitely. Robust electricals. Stop making plastic parts that always break. Stainless steel. Electric Vehicles need Standardized, removable, interchangeable batteries like electric forklifts. LiFePo, or other non-premium batteries that are affordable & easily recycled. Free public charging networks powered by wind, solar, & hydro. Congress needs to set price controls on rents & food. Raise wages everywhere. Universal healthcare that doesn't scam & bankrupt everyone... The entire USA economic system is broken. Congress is corrupt. End mandates. Stop funding Endless Wars & Genocide. Fascism, capitalism, & greed are not working. Build affordable quality products and pay all people living wages with benefits and you will sell more products.
funny isnt it.. you lay off quality engineers and leave only a skeleton crew of lower level engineers and they you amazingly start having massive recalls.. Live by the bean counters rules and die by them also. Cutting corners has already put Stellantis out of business. Expect to see not just ford dealers closing but DCJR dealers to be following.. Cannot keep paying flooring on millions of unsold vehicles for years at a time. GM is not far behind
The Crown Vic was made to Last and was Cost Prohibitive to produce, Ford will not build a car like that for these very reasons. My 2000 Granny Marquis still looks , Runs and Drives like it did in late 1999 when it was purchased for $ 24,800.
And how much is Mr. Farley making this year?? ALL the major auto manufacturers are in trouble. Not listening to their customers, over priced vehicles that people can't afford, and off course, the ever popular CORPORATE GREED. Looks good on the thieving bunch. They had us by the short and curlies during the Covid years, and now, KARMA is a real bitch. ZERO sympathy.
I blame mostly the dealerships marking up vehicles thousands of dollars over msrp. I remember Farley scolding dealerships during covid years, but they didn't care and kept marking up. Unfortunately ford and other manufacturers had their hands tied cause of the way the dealerships contract are designed and locked. There was a loophole that ford could sell ev vehicles direct to consumers and they told dealerships if they wanted to sell evs they had to get certified and pay a fee and upgrade their facilities. Dealerships reluctantly joined the different ev programs but they really don't want to sell evs cause dealerships make most of their money from the service centers...evs don't need as much maintenance and don't breakdown as often. Dealerships greed are the main reason car manufacturers are hurting that along with government forcing them to build evs. Stellaris on the other hand are completely out of touch and have crappy leadership.
One basic business fact I learned as an artist in a co-op gallery is that you should always have available some sort of affordable cash flow item. It might not be hugely profitable, or the thing you want to be known for, but it can help cover part of routine operating costs.
Thanks to Joe and Kamala the stock market just hit all-time highs. So let me take a while guess and say that you have no money invested in the stock market.
@@notalegalalien3663 Yep. Stock market has been going up,consistently,for more than a year and gas prices have been falling for over a year,now. I’m not wealthy enough to play the stocks but,gas is down about 60 cents in the last twelve months.
Ford should have been shut down back when they decided that a flaw in their cars that caused people to die in horrible fires was more expensive to fix than to pay off the families of victims was. When I was a kid, our family was a Ford family. After that came to light, we started driving Oldsmobiles and Pontiacs. Later, we evolved to Toyotas.
You do know that internal combustion engines are much more complex than electric motors, right? Electric motors are far simpler, they’re basically spinny magnets lol
American car makers need to concentrate on engineering quality. Everybody is buying Japanese cars because they are so reliable. You pay a high price, but that’s usually the end of it, you won’t have to spend a lot of money to repair it. Japan has invested heavily in quality years ago. Their C.E.Os make about 10 times less than American CEOs. Look where they are at now. American leaders are too greedy and not smart enough to do the same. So go out of business if they won’t wise up. Sorry.
I'll keep my 20 year old car and repair it, even if it needs a replacment engine . It's still cheaper than any new car on the market today. The reality on a new car is that it's just deffered maintenance.
Ford would be better to make the model T again with a hand crank starter. No more battery sensors and a truck that falls apart when you have to pull a camper up long distance. These new trucks trying to learn how you drive and you can not understand what the heck thi s piece of s**t is doing and breaking down when the truck is put to your task.
They can eat their EVs. What goes around comes around. Now eat your markups on your trucks. Your excessive markups are now killing our insurance rates !!!
A sad truth, when the prices of the vehicles climb beyond what customers can afford. Absurd to ask a family pay “double and triple the previous price for a car. Corporate Ford “messed around and found out!” 😡
I do not feel bad for Ford Motor Company. They deserve this. They’ve gone woke and they’re screwing people. I am from Michigan originally and almost every family member worked for Ford Motor Company beginning inthe 1920’s . Get back to basics build solid engines without turbo and traditional transmissions.
Chevy and Dodge aren’t any better… Chevy truck is expensive as Ford …and they look a girly truck. And DODGE are crap as hell Toyota V8 engine are blowing as bad or worse than Dodge. So remains only Ford …but expensive and not really worth as a value. Many don’t need a truck for every day use….but are bought for the size and style….mine is bigger than yours 😂😂😂😂.
Pricing itself out of business was not an overnight occurence. Ford had a winner in the F150 until they.packed with unwanted accessories to jack up the price. Add the creative prices increases by the dealers and tighter finances and the end of the business was inevitable. Anyone remember Packard, American motors or studebaker.
My Ford Maverick was ordered by me. A year later it arrived. The wiring harnesss was damaged during the manufacturing. No replacement parts are available
I can't help but think of how the K car saved Chrysler. Nothing fancy but reliable, reasonably comfortable daily transportation that didn't cost a fortune at the pump. I would start with fixing the problems with the Maverick so they aren't getting what seems like monthly recalls. Next bring back the reliable, affordable basic work truck whose only features are backup camera and standard A/C. Last time I checked people are still buying cars after all Toyota has not stopped selling the Corolla and Camry.
Neighbor of mine works at Leander Toyota. New car sales are down 39% year over year. The dealership is only six years old and there is talk about downsizing the lot and staff. People are not paying $60k for a 4 cylinder Highlander.
All automakers should go bankrupt for the prices they charge. Get rid of stupid regulations and excessive computers. No one wants an overpriced computer with wheels that looks ugly that spies on you
It's funny you're talking about this. But can we laugh at Ronald Reagan when AMC was bought out by Chrysler? Or George Bush when Mecury, Hummer, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Saturn all went out of business when he was president? Sorry, you guys under the MAGA cult have no idea in realizing your political party has failed our country like Democrats.
US manufacturers were claiming the car is dead. GM and Ford basically eliminated them. GM has kept the Malibu and that is it. Ford has zero 4 door sedans. So Toyota has a bunch in sedans from Corolla up to up to the Crown. They aren't hurting! There was a reason why they kept them. US car manufacturers have been behind the trends ever since the 1970's.
Thanks for the great video except the fact that you keep saying over and over and over that we’re paying $1000 more than we were five years ago. It’s a hell of a lot more than that. What you should be saying is people are paying $1000 a month payments on their new cars currently.
Reminds of Chrysler back in the late '70's and early '80's when Lee Iacocca brought out the "K-Car" to save Chrysler. Lee said - "If you find a better car - buy it". The K-Car was minimalist and affordable for most Americans. I don't think Chrysler, Dodge, Ram or Jeep can be saved this time. GM is facing the same thing as Ford. They allowed the Government to dictate what they were to sell and/or produce - EV's. Even though the 'Government" NEVER produced or sold anything but empty promises.
People are paying much more than $1000 for a car than they were five years ago. Auto parts stores are doing great, because people are keeping their old cars much longer.
The franchised dealer model should be disbanded and manufactures should be permitted to sell directly to the consumer thereby eliminating price gouging dealerships
I predicted this the day the E-150 was released. Then they lost 3 billion on Rivian. Then they recalled or put on stop sale everything they made. Sometimes I hate to be right.
Fords problem is not their automobiles, but the people operating dealerships and the creeps they hire. Ford is the only vehicle i have had in 60+ years that never left me walking. I have no interest in hybrid or electric vehicles. Ford needs to get back to basics before the whole company is bankrupt.
If you look at it from a statistical standpoint, small car sales were declining from their peak so the decision to move away from small cars was the right decision from a property ability standpoint.
Years ago Toyota realised they could not sell expensive cars so they invented Lexus while continuing to sell small Toyotas. Ford thought they could sell expensive Ford's. It was a bad move particularly when those expensive Ford's are poorly built. Ford is run by accountants who screw every penny out of the business but have made a massive mistake.
I live in airdrie and the 3 ford dealerships we have are struggling, 1 of the three went out of business, good there going back to gas and hybrids, what happened to small cars? Like the fusion, the EcoSport even! Or most forgotten: the flex. My grandma has one and she barely sees any, she says it’s like driving the first EV in a gasoline and diesel town,
We have free electricity but have sold our F150 lighting after two years. We would lose 60 miles in the winter under 30f, towing 2k lbs with no AC use was only 115 miles
These car dealers are finally getting what they deserve after screwing us for years

It is 10-30 k material and assembly cost - the Ford margin can be cut and cars sold cheaper

Fix or repair daily
@@bigjimtenbillion Driver returns on foot ....backwards
A sad truth, when the prices of the vehicles climb beyond what customers can afford. Absurd to ask a family pay “double and triple the previous price for a car. Corporate Ford “messed around and found out!” 😡
Well, looks like my next car will be a Mitsubishi!
Oh, that one for under 20K is going away?
Well, looks like my next car will be a skateboard!
Farley should go to jail for housing FORD !!!
TALK IS CHEAP FARLEY !!!!
These trucks will worth a lot more money a couple of hundred years from now as they will be valuable antiques! Ford should just keep them
I don't feel one bit sorry for them. Bye Ford. Bye Chrysler. Bye GM.
I do not feel bad for Ford Motor Company. They deserve this. They’ve gone woke and they’re screwing people. I am from Michigan originally and almost every family member worked for Ford Motor Company beginning inthe 1920’s . Get back to basics build solid engines without turbo and traditional transmissions.
Go back to making the falcon 30mpg no electronic bull crap most people could fix it there'selves
This news doesn't bother me a bit. I never bought a Ford and never will. I would never buy an electric vehicle. They are the stupidest thing ever.
Ford ………. Where Quality is Job None !
Chevy and Dodge aren’t any better…
Chevy truck is expensive as Ford …and they look a girly truck.
And DODGE are crap as hell
Toyota V8 engine are blowing as bad or worse than Dodge.
So remains only Ford …but expensive and not really worth as a value.
Many don’t need a truck for every day use….but are bought for the size and style….mine is bigger than yours 😂😂😂😂.
Pricing itself out of business was not an overnight occurence. Ford had a winner in the F150 until they.packed with unwanted accessories to jack up the price. Add the creative prices increases by the dealers and tighter finances and the end of the business was inevitable. Anyone remember Packard, American motors or studebaker.
So many of your points you repeat over and over and over, why?
You can stuff more ads in a longer video.
BECAUSE WE'RE "THICK"😮
My Ford Maverick was ordered by me. A year later it arrived. The wiring harnesss was damaged during the manufacturing. No replacement parts are available
Jim is a marketing guy not a car guy.
I can't help but think of how the K car saved Chrysler. Nothing fancy but reliable, reasonably comfortable daily transportation that didn't cost a fortune at the pump. I would start with fixing the problems with the Maverick so they aren't getting what seems like monthly recalls. Next bring back the reliable, affordable basic work truck whose only features are backup camera and standard A/C. Last time I checked people are still buying cars after all Toyota has not stopped selling the Corolla and Camry.
Great job Democrats
Neighbor of mine works at Leander Toyota. New car sales are down 39% year over year. The dealership is only six years old and there is talk about downsizing the lot and staff. People are not paying $60k for a 4 cylinder Highlander.
The government will bail them out.
This is what Ford, GM and Stellantis are banking on. “Too big to fail”
GOVERNMENT my ass it’s ALL OF US!!! ENOUGH is ENOUGH.
How many times have we done this and do they change NOPE
Our tax dollars at work
Waste of money
All automakers should go bankrupt for the prices they charge. Get rid of stupid regulations and excessive computers. No one wants an overpriced computer with wheels that looks ugly that spies on you
Electric cars are a joke.
What did you do with the 2008 government gift?
expensive, and not a lot people have enough money to buy a 100,000 truck, insane and plus the electric stupidity is going to be worst
People are paying WAY MORE THAN $1,000 more for the same new car/truck that they bought 5 years ago. The F150 models are close to DOUBLE.
Congratulations to all who voted for Joe Biden. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's funny you're talking about this. But can we laugh at Ronald Reagan when AMC was bought out by Chrysler? Or George Bush when Mecury, Hummer, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Saturn all went out of business when he was president? Sorry, you guys under the MAGA cult have no idea in realizing your political party has failed our country like Democrats.
Last week stock market hit all-time highs. Thank you, Joe.
You will need it soon. Kamalanomics are going to hurt. A lot
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
"Ford One Hundred Fifty" lol
US manufacturers were claiming the car is dead. GM and Ford basically eliminated them. GM has kept the Malibu and that is it. Ford has zero 4 door sedans. So Toyota has a bunch in sedans from Corolla up to up to the Crown. They aren't hurting! There was a reason why they kept them. US car manufacturers have been behind the trends ever since the 1970's.
Thanks for the great video except the fact that you keep saying over and over and over that we’re paying $1000 more than we were five years ago. It’s a hell of a lot more than that. What you should be saying is people are paying $1000 a month payments on their new cars currently.
Toyota has also spent several hundred millions in recalls, recently.
My truck cost me almost $39k now the same truck 7 years later $58k STX 4x4 F150
7 years ago my house was worth $320,000. Now it’s worth $729,000. Everything is good
@@DaBooster 7 years ago you were broke and stupid.
Before we were making $5.50 now we’re making $7.50😂😂
Reminds of Chrysler back in the late '70's and early '80's when Lee Iacocca brought out the "K-Car" to save Chrysler. Lee said - "If you find a better car - buy it". The K-Car was minimalist and affordable for most Americans. I don't think Chrysler, Dodge, Ram or Jeep can be saved this time. GM is facing the same thing as Ford. They allowed the Government to dictate what they were to sell and/or produce - EV's. Even though the 'Government" NEVER produced or sold anything but empty promises.
Thank Washington D.C.
Pop your hood, you'll see bureaucracy....
PLEASE CONTINUE TO SHARE YOUR TRUTH.
I am waiting to see what Elon does now that he owns Ford. Yeah, there WILL be changes and the UAW will likely be out too. Should be fun.
Elon doesn't own Ford. Who are you listening to, the CarEdge guys, or Scotty Kilmer. LOL
Elon owns Ford???
Elon does not own Ford you should probably take your head out of your backside
People are paying much more than $1000 for a car than they were five years ago.
Auto parts stores are doing great, because people are keeping their old cars much longer.
I don’t feel bad for them they greedy and deserve it The building pick up trucks that no one could afford it
The franchised dealer model should be disbanded and manufactures should be permitted to sell directly to the consumer thereby eliminating price gouging dealerships
I predicted this the day the E-150 was released. Then they lost 3 billion on Rivian. Then they recalled or put on stop sale everything they made. Sometimes I hate to be right.
like stelantis, priced out of the market. CANOO is doing great and their truck is $21,000 2wd without incentive, van $34.000 also.
What’s a CANOO?
My Grandpa had a Datsun, I had a Nissan, not more truck than you need! Better fuel economy, easier to park, steer and more nimble than a Ford truck.
HuuuH see were greed got ya.
Fords problem is not their automobiles, but the people operating dealerships and the creeps they hire. Ford is the only vehicle i have had in 60+ years that never left me walking. I have no interest in hybrid or electric vehicles. Ford needs to get back to basics before the whole company is bankrupt.
$1000? Lol, try like $8000! This is why no one wants to buy new vehicles.
Electrical car mandates are a huge issue, once again government overreach.
Hyundai and Kia have great cars. I'm no CEO but even I knew Ford cancelling cars was a grave mistake.
If you look at it from a statistical standpoint, small car sales were declining from their peak so the decision to move away from small cars was the right decision from a property ability standpoint.
Kia’s are just cheap junk 😂😂😂
Let's see I got a Toyota yaris in 2019 for 18500 . A true winner of a car. Trouble free and great on gas. I love it!!!
No body want electric cars
The consumer needs to pay for those high wages of the assembly workers.
Only $1000 more? You are way off.. it’s more like $10,000 more
Years ago Toyota realised they could not sell expensive cars so they invented Lexus while continuing to sell small Toyotas. Ford thought they could sell expensive Ford's. It was a bad move particularly when those expensive Ford's are poorly built. Ford is run by accountants who screw every penny out of the business but have made a massive mistake.
nobody wants the stupid electric cars
I live in airdrie and the 3 ford dealerships we have are struggling, 1 of the three went out of business, good there going back to gas and hybrids, what happened to small cars? Like the fusion, the EcoSport even! Or most forgotten: the flex. My grandma has one and she barely sees any, she says it’s like driving the first EV in a gasoline and diesel town,
Go EV, Go Broke. People don't those damn EVs.
Good time to make a deal but get it out before storms
Ford: Found On Road Dead
US will become land of classic gasoline vehicles, like Cuba.
Shelling out a heck of a lot more than $1000 ... More like $40,000-50,000 more
We have free electricity but have sold our F150 lighting after two years. We would lose 60 miles in the winter under 30f, towing 2k lbs with no AC use was only 115 miles
