This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that’s been paying attention

Is it really the workers, or bad parts and programming that the assemblers have no control over?

If the parts were different, that should be easy to see. Parts going to one place are bad and another are better, then why? That should be something that can be figured out and not be a reason to say one assembly location has higher quality output than another.

My Maverick is the fourth Ford I've bought new. It is the only one that hasn't required any warranty work. The others were built in Dearborn and St. Thomas, Ontario.

I think Ford overall is getting better.
On my third purchased new Ford. All were trouble free.
Owned 11

I’ve own several Tacomas and have taken them to extreme high mileage in server duty climates and work loads.
Same with Fords.

I keep data, repair costs and incidences.
Over all my Fords were cheaper to own with less repairs than the Toyotas.
This goes back to 1988.

Before that I was a Mopar junkie.
They were the cheapest to fix.

It’s a combination of cost savings giving substandard parts, personnel retention, and management meeting production numbers. Where I worked, quantity over quality until it starts affecting the bottom line. Upper management will put in place processes to reduce mistakes but middle management will override those if it affects line speed. Then you have personnel that hire in and quit by lunchtime. Pleasing Wall Street is more important than pleasing customers

Except for the paint flaking off on the edge of the hood my 22XL has been solid. It has had recalls but they've all been for software related issues except for the 12v battery which got me a free replacement and the side airbags which where a NTHSA related issue, nothing to do with them not working or installed incorrectly.

If they are outsourcing the programming there is part of your problem.
