Notes to the Data

Chart A and Chart B

The Global Quality Research System (GQRS) is a Ford-sponsored competitive research survey. GQRS is a good indicator of other quality results. Full-year 2008 GQRS customer satisfaction and "things gone wrong" (TGW) are 77 and 1,287 respectively. See the Economy section for a discussion of our efforts to improve quality.

Chart C

Note that the measure changed in 2005 from "Percent Completely Satisfied" to "Net Promoter Score." The data has been recalculated to reflect Net Promoter Scores.
