"Ford executives knowingly launched and continued selling Ford Focus and Fiesta models equipped with the flawed DPS6 PowerShift dry-clutch automatic transmission despite internal warnings from engineers that the gearbox was unroadworthy." I went down the rabbit hole of this issue and WOW the deception. The Class Action result looks like a joke. I wonder if this is the same thing that has happened recently with things like the Bronco. Sometimes I wonder if we (the tax payers) should've saved (loaned money to) Ford.

Ford was not bailed out like GM was. They borrowed $20+B on their own prior to the great recession market crash. Yes they did get a smaller loan (yes loan) around the time i believe it was targeted for a specific item that was paid back.
Probably the same scenario. Ford never learns.
