Well at least it doesn’t roll away when parked.
Speaking up about quality problems or DFMEA issues only makes the cool kids who run things think you are a troublemaker. So there we go.
Bracket engineering strikes again.
really sad
No, the DFMEA would get in the way of PowerPoint meetings. Not to mention leaving home and visiting the plant!! One simple plant visit by the quality engineer and / or DnR
would have prevented this issue.
I think someone at Ford forgot that wires are flexible and dont hold shape very well..

ford: hold my non alcoholic beer
You mean someone forgot to create the DFMEA for this?
This is really bad folks. Meaning, a terrible display of Ford's technical/engineering with getting a product right, right from the job 1 get go.
In a one word summation: Fail.
Based on the fix looks like a design issue. The engineer or full service supplier needs to be fired. Ford has been pushing cost cutting for years sounds like a TVM action
