I compiled the list using a combination of AllData and NHTSA data. I'm sure there's a couple missing here and there and several of them are multiple-vehicle recalls, but it paints a pretty clear picture anyway.
TOTALS:
2001: 74
2002: 40
2003: 36
2004: 31
2005: 21
2006: 18
2007: 11
2008: 10
2001: 74
2002: 40
2003: 36
2004: 31
2005: 21
2006: 18
2007: 11
2008: 10

Fantastic. But it's also bloody unfair with everything going on right now. They finally get things on track, and now the global economy is going into the toilet, which is going to all but kill car sales for the foreseeable future and which is the 800 lbs gorilla in the room that no-one wants to talk about.
Right now, GM are dangling over the edge of a cliff, hanging on by their fingernails, and Ford are standing on the edge of the precipice, fighting to keep their footing.
Hell, even Toyota is struggling to meet its sales goals because of the U.S. and European markets and suggests operating profit might fall 40% this year. 40%!!!! Its domestic sales dropped 32% last month.
J.D. Power & Associates has predicted that the global auto market might just suffer an "outright collapse" next year.
At the rate things are going, someday soon we'll be using GM stock certificates as floor mats in the foreign cars we drive, while paying to fill up the tank with Ford stock (it costs more to buy a gallon of gas these days than it does to buy a share of Ford stock).
We're in the s**t now, that's for certain.

Yea Ford's are def getting better in quality. This article sounds very promising. It really shows how determined Ford is to being the best in quality. Despite the economy right now, its good to see they are improving. So long as Ford can hang tight for next 5 years or so, when they eventually start seeing the crisis to subside they'll be on a good path to success down the road. Thats partially why I wouldn't mind the the sale of Mazda; so long as Ford/Lincoln/Mercury see tomorrow, I'll be happy.
