      The problem has been brewing for over a decade. The big three cannot make a profit selling compact cars, high union wages being one problem, so they have abandoned the compact car market to the Japanese and Koreans. Now that problem has just gotten worse as China is eating Japan and Korean's lunch in EVs.
      High tariffs on cars made in China, over priced hybrids may keep them afloat (hide their problems) for a short while but it is not going to solve the basic problem.
      They need to cut wages, automate and learn to make cheaper and better cars.

      I blame mostly the dealerships marking up vehicles thousands of dollars over msrp. I remember Farley scolding dealerships during covid years, but they didn't care and kept marking up. Unfortunately ford and other manufacturers had their hands tied cause of the way the dealerships contract are designed and locked. There was a loophole that ford could sell ev vehicles direct to consumers and they told dealerships if they wanted to sell evs they had to get certified and pay a fee and upgrade their facilities. Dealerships reluctantly joined the different ev programs but they really don't want to sell evs cause dealerships make most of their money from the service centers...evs don't need as much maintenance and don't breakdown as often. Dealerships greed are the main reason car manufacturers are hurting that along with government forcing them to build evs. Stellaris on the other hand are completely out of touch and have crappy leadership.

    Ford should have been shut down back when they decided that a flaw in their cars that caused people to die in horrible fires was more expensive to fix than to pay off the families of victims was. When I was a kid, our family was a Ford family. After that came to light, we started driving Oldsmobiles and Pontiacs. Later, we evolved to Toyotas.

Add the creative prices increases by the dealers and tighter finances and the end of the business was inevitable. Anyone remember Packard, American motors or studebaker.

    Reminds of Chrysler back in the late '70's and early '80's when Lee Iacocca brought out the "K-Car" to save Chrysler. Lee said - "If you find a better car - buy it". The K-Car was minimalist and affordable for most Americans. I don't think Chrysler, Dodge, Ram or Jeep can be saved this time. GM is facing the same thing as Ford. They allowed the Government to dictate what they were to sell and/or produce - EV's. Even though the 'Government" NEVER produced or sold anything but empty promises.

    I can't help but think of how the K car saved Chrysler. Nothing fancy but reliable, reasonably comfortable daily transportation that didn't cost a fortune at the pump. I would start with fixing the problems with the Maverick so they aren't getting what seems like monthly recalls. Next bring back the reliable, affordable basic work truck whose only features are backup camera and standard A/C. Last time I checked people are still buying cars after all Toyota has not stopped selling the Corolla and Camry.
