50. Seriously?

Owning 3 Fords and all were “endlessly problematic” while owning 6 Japanese cars that were perfect?

There must be more to your story.

At the very least, it sounds like the Fords were purchased decades ago, when cars of ALL MAKES were less reliable. At worst, it falls into the “All American cars suck. All Japanese cars perfect” black and white narrative - a narrative pushed in order to destroy unions, along with stories with highly paid union workers who couldn’t be fired, and paid to sit around and get high. But the truth is that union workers were the guts of the Democratic political machine, which the Right Wong billionaires wanted to destroy.

If you go to any auto dealership today, regardless of brand, and every one has a service department. And if you went into that service department, you’ll find late model cars torn apart, with service techs dealing with failures. And yes, every auto manufacturer has cut Lemon Law buyback checks. Shocking, I know.

Look at the reliability surveys today, and you’ll see that reliability is very much the same, and is good. In fact, reliability differs more on how new the model is on the market, than the make.....meaning if reliability is most important to you, then choose a style that has been on the market the longest time, as the manufacturer has had a chance to work out any problems.
