' DETROIT – Ford Motor has paused production and shipments of its electric F-150 Lightning pickup due to a potential battery issue, the company said Tuesday.
Ford spokeswoman Emma Bergg declined to disclose details of the possible battery issue, which is being investigated after a vehicle displayed a potential problem as part of the automaker’s pre-delivery quality inspections.
The stop-shipment order and halt in production was issued at the beginning of last week, according to Bergg. It adds to ongoing “execution issues” detailed to investors earlier this month by Ford CEO Jim Farley that crippled the automaker’s fourth-quarter earnings.
Shares of Ford were down about 1% in midafternoon trading Tuesday. The stock was trading for under $13 a share.
Ford has not established a timeline for when production and the shipments will resume, according to Bergg.
“The team is diligently working on the root cause analysis,” she said, adding the company is “doing the right thing by our customers” to resolve any potential issues before resuming production and shipments.' www.cnbc.com/2023/02/14/ford-halts-f-150-lightning-production.html

"Execution issues"? Sounds shocking to me.
"We live in a time when intelligent people are being silenced so that stupid people won't be offended".

I wonder if this is a current problem or one that alternates off and on?
'64 Sport Fury, 528 Hemi, FiTech EFI, 4-speed, 4.10 Dana 60
'57 Belvedere 2dr sedan, current project in process
'19 Cherokee Trail Hawk Elite
'03 Ram 2500 CTD HO, 6-speed 214,000 miles and still going strong

That would be a deal-breaker for me. Serious lack of continuity in that company.

I heard they discharged some engineers! I'm not shocked to hear this.

I am sure they are going to meet some resistance.
That is the current environment at Ford.

I heard they discharged some engineers! Hopefully they can find new work before they are forced to sell their ohms.
