But, unlike GM, Henry Ford's picture was on Hitler's wall and he was admired by Hitler. They also used, as probably did the other manufacturers, slave labour to build their products. I just think its interesting how they are treating us now, no better than the slaves during WWII (although in fairness, I guess it was better to be a slave than go to the gas chamber) Yes and all manufacturers would have skeletons but the honourable ones have them fixed ile. toyota recalled trucks due to rusting frames - if it was rusted, it was either fixed or the vehicle replaced. No rust and the warranty was extended. Ford, just tells you to buzz off. christopher…. yes, GM was involved and had factories that made vehicles for the Nazi and, like Ford, sued the US government at the end of the war for damages to their buildings by the allies.

Unfortunately, having been through several brands of vehicles, all seem to have a few skeletons in the closet. What to do? However, are you sure that GM was not responsible for the involvement with the Third Reich and not Ford? http://hnn.us/articles/38829.html What a terrible experience and very sorry to hear that Lance.

However, are you sure that GM was not responsible for the involvement with the Third Reich and not Ford?

Ford refuses to deal with customers on the leaky front window that fries electronics when it rains, the blowing spark plugs in the 5.4 and the leaky rear window, all in F150's. Now, GM has done recalls as well as Toyota. Both companies showed ethics. Remember Ford supported Hitler in WW II and still maintains that attitude today in terms of customer relations. I've owned 2 F150's and thought I dealt with a good company untill this last batch of look after yourself attitudes. They may not be taking the bailout but their still shafting the consumer.
