Your words (that I put in red) is the reason why FORD was in the wrong. They equipped their vehicles with faulty equipment. Just like the heads on my 03, the TOB tube andTOB, the IAC valve and the bad carpet that causes the gas pedal to stick.
It is FORDS responsibility to make sure thier quality department is checking the incomming vendors equipment and making sure they are inside FORDS specs, and rejecting them if they are not.
And yes Firestone was also to blame.

His statement was asinine. I posted what I did so the poster would know where I was comming from. Not just spewing shit from my mouth because I felt like it.

Ain't that the truth! :lol: Ford, however, is really screwing up bad with this mustang trademark thing. It makes absolutely no sense. A lot of these small businesses have been around for years, which basically amounts to free advertising for Ford. Let me write that again in case some of the Ford execs missed it...
FREE ADVERTISING YOU IDIOTS
Not only that, most of them sell FORD PARTS!! It really shows how out of touch they are with their loyal customers and the business world in general. I've tried to avoid knocking Ford too much, but this time I can't help it.

I knew that would strike a nerve in someone. Sorry about you're uncle but I'm sure a pretty good percentage of the wrecks were due to crappy drivers. People drive their suv's like racecars, I see it everyday. High center of gravity + kneejerk reaction driving = rollover. Every rollover can't be attributed to the firestone bullshit. If people payed attention more to poorly inflated tires half of this crap probably would not have happened.
it makes sense why they don't want that, but it doesn't sound like a smart business decision.
Yeah I have heard ford is going down the shitter for a while and maybe this whole suing everybody shit is a last ditch effort to make some quick bank to save themselves.
Ok, here's the thing. If Ford does not sue for trademark infringement, then they LOSE the rights to the Mustang name due to it becoming a commonly used word, meaning anyone can sell products with the mustang name.
Another reason could be these aftermarket companies selling shitty knockoffs of FoMoCo products, like wheels, and using the Mustang, Bullitt, FR500, GT500, Cobra, etc. names. When the aftermarket makes shitty products under a Ford name, who does it reflect on? Ford.

Nissan was in the toilet about 5-7 years ago... hired new leadership for the American market... they stopped looking at the stock price on the Japan and US exchanges and started paying more attention to the product... Nissan was turned around and except for some engine issues has recovered.
Ford now is in the toilet and still worries about stock prices (its in the boardroom culture) and cannot even hire a come back leader to save the company from itself... sales are up from last month and barely up from last year for the truck and mustang models (go figure).... :??:
the road ahead seems to be a dead end, just ask the 30K they are letting go...

They didnt know until they started putting miles on those tires that they were faulty... Ford was buying in bulk tires from Firestone. Firestone distributed the tires thus it was there responsibility...
Would I be held responsible if I went to a tire shop and had tires put on my car that eventually blew up because I was the one that equipped my car with them?
03CobraBro said:
No, but the tire shop would be for selling them to you and putting them on your car. Along with the tires manufacturer. Just like FORD and Firestone were. What is so hard to understand?
Here is one for you.....
If orange juice was blue...
Would it still be orange juice???

Ford does not own copyrights for Pony or Stang, so they can shove it. Chevy and Dodge are looking more and more attractive every day. At least they make cars with some excitement.

this is going on with the chevy crowd too. here in north kansas city there was once a pervayor of classic chevrolet truck parts known as "chevyduty"- they are now called 'classic parts of america" real catchy huh? **** corporate america. they care nothing for us. they just want our $$$
I wonder if Ford's motivation to sue is the advice from counsel that if they continue to allow unrestricted, unlicensed use of "Mustang", that Ford would lose the trademark ownership. It may be the that their actions are to show they are taking action to protect trademark ownership. Any opinions from the legal talent here?
