It should have been detected earlier by product and engineering management. Another setback was caused because they did not do their jobs.<\/p>\n<p>Ford Authority exemplifies how the media manhandles Ford for quality problems. Its reporters wrote that plant management \u201cshut down Ford Super Duty production for periods as long as three days earlier this year, which allowed 300 quality inspectors, suppliers, and engineers to fix faulty parts that workers discovered while assembling the refreshed pickup using cameras stationed all over the plant.\u201d Three hundred is a lot of people.<\/p>\n<section id='email-subscribe' class='section section-email-sub single-email-sub'>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<svg style=\"\" class=\"\" viewBox=\"0 0 439 350\"><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<!-- div.svg-icon --><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tGet Our Free Investment Newsletter<\/p>\n<form id=\"newsletter-subscribe-homepage\"  class=\"field has-addons\"  method=\"post\"  target=\"blank\"  action=\"https:\/\/www.aweber.com\/scripts\/addlead.pl\"  >\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\"  name=\"listname\"  value=\"awlist5277011\"  >\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\"  name=\"custom form name\"  value=\"below-post-email-form\"  >\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\"  name=\"meta_message\"  value=\"1\"  >\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\"  name=\"meta_required\"  value=\"email\"  >\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\"  name=\"meta_forward_vars\"  value=\"1\"  >\t\t\t\t<span>\t\tI have read, and agree to the \t\t\t\tTerms of Use<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"checkbox\"  name=\"terms\"  required=\"1\"  style=\"height: auto !important;\"  >\t\t\t\t<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\"  name=\"email\"  value=\"\"  placeholder=\"Your Email Address\"  id=\"recipient_email_homepage\"  class=\"recipient_email input\"  style=\"height: 45px;\"  >\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\"  name=\"submit\"  value=\"Subscribe\"  id=\"new_subscribe_button\"  class=\"subscribe button js-onclick-new-subscibe\"  style=\"height: 45px;\"  >\t\t\t\t<\/form>\n<\/section>\n<p>\nFord\u2019s new production problem is one in a long line of similar issues. These have included other pickup products, particularly Ford\u2019s new F-150 Lightning, which suffered from engine fires. Ford management has pointed out that other car manufacturers have fire problems. That is hardly a reasonable excuse.
