    It is very sad. Ford is doing a Global business, just like everybody else. And unfortunately sourcing parts from questionable sources to meet financial goals. Gotta meet those quarterly goals.

    Didn't Ford have their Mustang manual 6 speed made in China? And they weren't they a failure point?  Buy the cheapest you can and pray they will function properly?

    The new Lincoln Nautilus is going to be made in China making me wonder on the Chinese parts that will be sourced there.

    I heard about that a while ago. Evidently Lincoln sells better in China than here. The Lincoln plant in Canada is going to be converted to EV vehicles.

    As a Ford retiree I didn't know this manufacturing decision on the Nautilus, It sickens me to hear this.    I HOPE THEY DON'T SELL A SINGLE UNIT!.  I, for sure, won't be purchasing one.
