And let us not forget the engineers and designers had something to do with the unreliability of the Ford Explorer you may have experienced, not just the good folks who do the assembly..... I will never forget the time when I was around 13 and was riding in a Corvair owned by a supervisor who worked in a Ford plant, when I happened tolook up and noticed a screw falling out of the panel holding up the cloth of the roof, so I asked him how could this happen when his car was almost brand new. And then he told me very seriously that when the workers on the assembly line had trouble putting the screws in, they sometimes would hammer them in! That made sense to me, as the screw I noticed falling out was obviously stripped..... This was in 1963/64, but it sure makes a point about how low production standards once were for American cars.
