If they can afford to payout those bonus, I’m glad the employees will receive the compensation.
If they can turn there shit around and improve the quality finally, it’s money well spent.

Worker bonus tied to profit, managment bonus ties to quality, what could go wrong.

Okay....not sure about the metrics.....besides the MIC tops, where are we seeing the issues in quality on the 21-25 runs?
I'm pretty satisfied this far and I do say, I enjoy driving and using this vehicle every day.
Any of the 21 and high mileage folks have any observations on how the overall "quality" is not satisfactory? They fixed the initial valve issues.

Not a challenge, just curious since I'm not complaining about mine. I've been a "Bronco guy" since 1991.

window seals, 2.0 rack, FDU failure, shock failure, glass cracking, GY tires, screen failure, window roll down software. I'm sure I'm missing a lot. I'm not knocking THIS VEHICLE, it is a good launch of a new platform in my mind.

Well, when you have countless recalls, I guess up is the only direction one can go.
Then there was this " Ford Motor lost $4.8 billion on electric vehicles in 2025 " :sneaky:

They obviously left the MIC tops out of the evaluation.

Another forum member just posted about his top failing for the second time.

You would think with all this quality you could get a working heater, wouldn't you?

It shouldn’t be hard to build a vehicle to last 90 days without repair. Not bonus worthy. The real issues are design of parts/systems and cheap quality materials.
Ford doesn’t even make it to one day for many of its vehicles. Theyā€˜ve put Stop-Sale orders on tens of thousands of vehicles the last few years, F150 trucks and Broncos included. Probably some other models that I don’t follow. The latest I’m aware of is a Stop-Sale on F150 trucks, about 70,000 trucks for defective axles so said a dealer I spoke to, one of which was a truck I tried to buy.

As referenced, the article addresses initial quality, measured in how many repairs were needed in the first 90 days of ownership. Perhaps all of the Stop-Sale orders artificially raised their initial quality ā€œimprovement,ā€œ by simply having the repairs occur pre-ownership.

that certainly makes sense for corporate America’s way of fudging metrics.

Yes your right, I've heard of quite a bit, those issues as well, but that is similar to all new launches and any vehicle line for that matter.
Have you personally had issues, or another trail buddy who has quality issues?
I've had only one cracked MIC top panel, personally.
