Ford Performance CAE intern Amanda Perez’s hands-on experiences add up to more than just a summer job – they’ll help her finish her master’s thesis project in mechanical engineering when she returns to The Ohio State University this fall. Thanks for sharing, Amanda! If you’d like to merge your classroom knowledge with real-world challenges, check out our internship opportunities this fall for 2025! #WeAreFord #FordIntern
Thrilled to share a glimpse of my experience at the Ford simulator in North Carolina! 🚗💨 During my visit, I had the opportunity to dive deep into how the simulator works, exploring different models and their real-world applications. It was fascinating to drive on various tracks, feeling the different cueing and mechanics that made it so realistic. This hands-on experience has sparked new ideas for my thesis project and has been an invaluable part of my internship with Ford Performance. Grateful for these opportunities to learn and grow, and I hope to be back here again one day! #FordPerformance #Engineering #Simulation #Internship #WeAreFord #FordIntern

🚨 Urgent: Repeated Engine Failures in Ford Focus 🚨 Ford Motor Company I am reaching out today to share a deeply frustrating and ongoing issue with my Ford Focus. Despite Ford’s claim that their EcoBoost 1.0 engine is an award-winning model, my experience tells a very different story. Since purchasing the vehicle brand new in September 2018, I have faced repeated engine failures that have left me without a reliable car and burdened with extensive repair costs. Timeline of Issues: First Engine Replacement: 65,000 KM Second Engine Replacement: 139,000 KM Third Engine Failure: 203,000 KM Recent Issue: The most recent engine failure occurred without any warning signs of overheating. The engine shut down unexpectedly, and upon towing it to the dealership, I was informed it required another complete engine replacement.. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this with Ford’s customer service and escalating the matter to higher management, I have not received a satisfactory response. I am now left with no choice but to publicize this issue to seek justice and support. My Demands: Immediate replacement of the engine at no cost. Acknowledgment of the manufacturing defects.
This looks like Recarro seating with a Cobra dash layout. I'd love to be sitting there too!!

I'd love to see the sim used by the Cup drivers in NASCAR! Any internship opportunities in the UK?

1moThinking about immersion, using a Shelby Cobra steering wheel and its dashboard, if a manual gearbox is an option in this simulator then... From the wooden steering wheel of the '67 Mustang to the brand-new leather one with center marking or Alcantara for those who will sweat with excitement, it would be a dream to have these in my hands and be able to guide. While the dream doesn't come true, we use simulators and bring dreams closer to us.
