[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 16637710, member: 166576"] All excellent points. My expectation as a consumer is that there is a quality check done. Real world l, I'd expect every batch produced to have 1 randomly chosen for a pressure check to verify the part was produced correctly to specification, and verify that the manufacturing process doesn't need to be amended. It's clear that money is an over riding factor as this rate of failure could not have been present when these vehicles were being produced new. So, the question now is when did Ford switch suppliers, or instruct it's long time supplier to cheapen it up. Unfortunately, Fords track record for doubling down on stupid doesn't give them any slack here. See The Focus/Fiesta Powershift DCT as a glaring example. No manufacturer is immune. I know this. But any cooling system component that's pressurized should be considered a critical part, worthy of proper manufacture. [/QUOTE]
