The Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) is an American multinational corporation based in Dearborn, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. The automaker was founded by Henry Ford and incorporated on June 16, 1903. In addition to the Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury brands, Ford also owns Volvo Cars of Sweden, and a small stake in Mazda of Japan and Aston Martin of England. Ford's former UK subsidiaries Jaguar and Land Rover were sold to Tata Motors of India in March 2008.

Ford introduced methods for large-scale manufacturing of cars and large-scale management of an industrial workforce using elaborately engineered manufacturing sequences typified by moving assembly lines. Henry Ford's methods came to be known around the world as Fordism by 1914.

Ford is currently the fourth-largest automaker in the world based on number of vehicles sold annually, directly behind Volkswagen. In 2007, Ford fell from second to third in US annual vehicle sales for the first time in 56 years, behind only General Motors and Toyota. However, Ford occasionally outsells Toyota in shorter periods (most recently, during the summer months of 2009). As of 2008, Ford has become the second largest automaker in Europe (only behind Volkswagen), with sales that occasionally exceed those in the United States and large markets in Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom. Ford is the seventh-ranked overall American-based company in the 2008 Fortune 500 list, based on global revenues in 2008 of $146.3 billion. In 2008, Ford produced 5.532 million automobiles and employed about 213,000 employees at around 90 plants and facilities worldwide. Starting in 2007, Ford received more initial quality survey awards from J. D. Power and Associates than any other automaker. Five of Ford's vehicles ranked at the top of their categories and fourteen vehicles ranked in the top three.

2000 Ford Windstar front windshield wiper still operates in the off position?
Q. I have a 2000 Ford Windstar SEL and when I turn on the front wiper it only works when you turn it all the way and then it does not stop in the off position...in order for it to stop I have to switch off the vehicle...need your help please!
Asked by o1herb3 - Tue Jun 17 00:31:04 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I agree that you may have a faulty switch.. One question I would ask you is; when you put it in the off position are you giving it enough time to stop. Some systems have a slight delay time after they are turned off. If it continues to run, then it is surely something within your ignition and control switch.. Your wiper relay could also be sticking, not common, but possible. I thought of this because you explained that you have to turn your ignition off to stop it.. Check that relay as well..

How do you partake in buying Stock in a company such as Ford?
Q. Ford has had it's up's and downs. If you were to have bough shares just over a year ago you would have increased your investment by nearly 16 times. I have a feeling that Ford's stock is relatively steady and is going to be on the rise soon. If not Ford, I have a good feeling KIA is about to get more popular! Where do I go to buy stocks? Do I have to see a stock broker?

How can I find out if my used ford explorer is still under factory warranty?
Q. I do not want to contact the Ford dealer or where I bought it from.
Asked by lisabonay - Wed Nov 15 16:46:02 2006 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Most Ford's come with a 3 year 36,000 or 50,000 mile warranty. If you have passed that most likely you don't have a warranty. But whats the big deal about contacting a Ford dealer? call them, tell them the year and make and model and they can tell you for sure if you still have a warranty.
