Because their vehicles actually have fewer problems, or just because Ford refused to pay to fix them?

For example, 1 warranty request per 100 vehicles, or $100 in warranty cost per vehicle, etc.
If Ford sold half as many cars, and said their warranty claims on new cars decreased by 25%, that doesn't mean their quality is improving since the rate of warranty claims/vehicle is increasing. |

The Japanese always have done this because their distributor bonuses are dependant on how much warranty dollars per vehicle they save. The Japanese motorcycling industry is a prime example of this (everything gets denied first unless its an obvious) as most have seen here with dealing with dealers. I think this has alot to do with why Japanese automakers tend to have lower warranty costs instead of just paying for anything that happens in the field.

Well being that these reports are some a source such as Consumer reports, can't we justify that these are being reported as repairs never needed versus repairs they had to pay out of pocket for? I would these kinds of things would be highly visible if people were being turned away instead of quality controls improving.
