I agree with this article but I wouldn't call it "Free Money". The amount of money invested into new quality procedures and design elements needs to be taken into account. These investments that lead to greater quality need to be subtracted from the savings in warranty repair in order to give us the actual amount of money Ford saved.

Sorry man, Quality is Free, no matter how you slice it, it always costs more in the long run to build/produce a low quality product. The long term costs are always higher then what it would have cost to build it right the first time. Ford finally figured this out, thank god.
Lets hope they can keep it up and stop the bleeding in time.
