Ford recalls over 200,000 cars for major safety concern
Getting your driver's permit is one of the most freeing feelings for many young adults. It marked the first time in many of our lives that we got to step out into the world and be somewhat independent, since we no longer needed to beg our parents for a ride. The most memorable part was getting our first car, and for many who grew up in the U.S., Ford was likely the make. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Ford is one of the oldest and most iconic American automakers, with a legacy spanning over 12 decades. Unlike its competitors, it's one of the few that has remained an American-made car brand. This company is known for producing well-equipped vehicles at competitive prices, delivering value to consumers. This is highly appealing amid an uncertain economic climate that has caused consumers to become more conscious of their spending.
