Principles of Presentation and Consolidation [Abstract]
PRINCIPLES OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION	NOTE 1.PRINCIPLES OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION Our financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States for interim financial information, and instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule10-01 of Regulation S-X.We show certain of our financial statements on both a consolidated and a sector basis for our Automotive and Financial Services sectors.All intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated in both the consolidated and sector basis financial statements.Reconciliations of certain line items are explained below in this Note, where the presentation of these intercompany eliminations or consolidated adjustments differs between the consolidated and sector financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited financial statements reflect a fair statement of the results of operations and financial condition of Ford Motor Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities ("VIEs") of which we are the primary beneficiary for the periods and at the dates presented.The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.Reference should be made to the financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December31,2008 ("2008Form 10-K Report").For purposes of this report, "Ford," the "Company," "we," "our," "us" or similar references mean Ford Motor Company and our consolidated subsidiaries and our consolidated VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary, unless the context requires otherwise.All held-for-sale assets and liabilities are excluded from the footnotes unless otherwise noted.See Note 12 for details of held-for-sale operations. In the first quarter of 2009, our wholly-owned subsidiary Ford Motor Credit Company LLC ("Ford Credit") recorded a $630million cumulative adjustment to correct for the overstatement of Financial Services sector cash and cash equivalents and certain accounts payable that originated in prior periods.The impact on previously-issued annual and interim financial statements was not material. Subsequent Events.We evaluated the effects of all subsequent events from the end of the third quarter through November6,2009, the date we filed our financial statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Noncontrolling Interests.We adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") revised standard on accounting for noncontrolling interests on its effective date, January1,2009.This standard establishes accounting and reporting requirements for the noncontrolling interest (formerly "minority interest") in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.The standard clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements.The presentation and disclosure requirements of this standard must be applied retrospectively for all periods.This requirement changed the presentation of our

Variable Interest Entities [Abstract]
VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES	NOTE 4.VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES We consolidate VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary.The liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional claims on our general assets; rather, they represent claims against the specific assets of the consolidated VIEs.Conversely, assets recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims against our general assets. Automotive Sector VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary: Activities with the entities described below include purchasing the majority, and in some cases substantially all, of the entity's output under a cost-plus-margin arrangement and/or volume-dependent pricing.These contractual arrangements may require us to absorb entity losses when production volume targets are not met and/or allow us to receive bonuses when production volume targets are exceeded. Effective January 1, 2010, we will adopt FASB's new standard for determining VIE consolidation.Issued in June 2009, FASB's new standard replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation with an approach that is primarily qualitative.The new standard requires ongoing reassessment of the appropriateness of consolidation.The standard also requires additional disclosure about involvement with VIEs.At this time, we expect that adoption of this standard may result in the deconsolidation of several of our joint ventures, including Ford Otosan (discussed below), which is reported within our Ford Europe segment results.Although we continue to examine the potential impact of this standard on our financial condition, results of operations, and financial statement disclosures, we anticipate that the adoption may negatively impact Income/(Loss) before income taxes and in particular Ford Europe's pre-tax results.The standard would have no effect onNet income/(loss) attributable to Ford Motor Company. Described below are the significant VIEs that we consolidated as of September30,2009: AutoAlliance International, Inc. ("AAI") is a 50/50 joint venture with Mazda Motor Corporation ("Mazda") in North America.AAI is engaged in the manufacture of automobiles on behalf of Ford and Mazda, primarily for sale in North America. First Aquitaine Industries SAS ("First Aquitaine") operates a transmission plant in Bordeaux, France which manufactures automatic transmissions for Ford Explorer, Ranger, and Mustang vehicles.During the second quarter of 2009, we transferred legal ownership of First Aquitaine to HZ Holding France.We also entered into a volume-dependent pricing agreement with the new owner to purchase all of the plant's output.As a result, we now consider this entity to be a VIE of which we are the primary beneficiary.See Note8 for discussion of the impairment of our investment in this plant. Ford Otomotiv Sanayi Anonim Sirketi ("Ford Otosan") is a 41/41/18 joint venture in Turkey with the Koc Group of Turkey and public investors.Ford Otosan is a supplier of the Ford Transit Connect model, and an assembly supplier of the Ford Transit van model, both of which we sell primarily in Europe.

Employee Separation Actions and Exit and Disposal Activities [Abstract]
EMPLOYEE SEPARATION ACTIONS AND EXIT AND DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES	NOTE 10.EMPLOYEE SEPARATION ACTIONS AND EXIT AND DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES Automotive Sector Transitional Benefits During the first quarter of 2009, we reached an agreement with the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America ("UAW") to modify the 2007 collective bargaining agreement between us and the UAW.We renegotiated Job Security Benefits, modified Supplemental Unemployment Benefits, and established a new Transition Assistance Plan. Our collective bargaining agreement with the National Automobile, Aerospace, Transportation, and General Workers Union of Canada ("CAW") contains a provision pursuant to which we are required to pay idled employees a portion of their wages and certain benefits for a specified period of time based on the number of credits an employee has received. We establish liabilities for employee benefits that we expect to provide under our collective bargaining agreements.At September30,2009 and December31,2008, the related liabilities were $76million and $411million, respectively.During the third quarter of 2009 and 2008, we recorded in Automotive cost of sales a reduction of expense of $22million and $320million, respectively.In the first nine months of 2009 and 2008, we recorded a reduction of expense of $336million and $264million, respectively. Separation Actions The costs of voluntary employee separation actions are recorded at the time of employees' acceptances, unless the acceptances require explicit approval by the Company.The costs of conditional voluntary separations are accrued when all conditions are satisfied.Payments made to employees who have separated and for which there are ongoing eligibility requirements are accrued when the requirements are satisfied.The costs of involuntary separation programs are accrued when management has approved the program and the affected employees are identified. UAW Voluntary Separations.Wehave a separation reserve established for voluntary employee separation actions recorded at the time of employees' acceptances.At September30,2009 and December31,2008, this reserve was $58million and $162million, respectively.The ending balance in the reserve primarily represents the cost of separation packages for employees who accepted separation packages but have not yet left the Company, as well as employees who accepted a retirement package and ceased duties but remain on our employment rolls until they reach retirement eligibility. We recorded pre-tax charges in Automotive cost of sales of $15million and $45million for the third quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $111million and $236million for the first nine months of 2009 and 2008, respectively.The charges result from acceptances of voluntary employee separations actions in the periods and the ongoing costs related to continued eligibility requirements that were met by employees who were previously separated. Other Employee Separation Actions.The following table shows pre-tax charges for other hourly and salaried employee separation actions for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 and 2008, respectively, which are recorded in Automot

Income Taxes [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	NOTE 11.INCOME TAXES Generally, for interim tax reporting we estimate one single tax rate for tax jurisdictions not subject to a valuation allowance, which is applied to the year-to-date ordinary income/(loss).We manage our operations by multi-jurisdictional business units, however, and thus are unable to reasonably compute one overall effective tax rate.Accordingly, our worldwide tax provision is calculated pursuant to U.S. GAAP, which provides that tax (or benefit) in each foreign jurisdiction not subject to valuation allowance be separately computed as ordinary income/(loss) occurs within the jurisdiction. The U.S. and Canadian governments have reached agreement on our transfer pricing methodologies.The agreement covers a number of years and has resulted in a favorable impact to the income tax provision of $196million through the first nine months of 2009, primarily resulting from the refund of prior Canadian tax payments. On September11,2009, our Board of Directors adopted a tax benefit preservation plan (the "Plan") designed to preserve shareholder value and the value of certain tax assets including net operating losses, capital losses and tax credit carryforwards ("Tax Attributes").At December31,2008, we had Tax Attributes that would offset $19billion of U.S. taxable income.Our ability to use these Tax Attributes would be substantially limited if there were an "ownership change" as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.In general, an ownership change would occur if 5-percent shareholders (as defined under U.S. federal income tax laws) collectively increase their ownership in Ford by more than 50percentage points over a rolling three-year period. In connection with the Plan, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right for each share of Ford Common and Class B Stock as of the close of business on September 25, 2009.In accordance with the Plan, shares held by any person who acquires, without the approval of our Board of Directors, beneficial ownership of 4.99% or more of outstanding Ford Common Stock (including any ownership interest held by that person's affiliates and associates as defined under the Plan) could be subject to significant dilution.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS, HELD-FOR-SALE OPERATIONS, OTHER DISPOSITIONS, AND ACQUISITIONS	NOTE 12.DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS, HELD-FOR-SALE OPERATIONS, OTHER DISPOSITIONS, AND ACQUISITIONS Automotive Sector Discontinued Operations Automotive Protection Corporation ("APCO").In 2007, we completed the sale of APCO and realized a pre-tax gain of $51million (net of transaction costs and working capital adjustments), reported in Income/(Loss) from discontinued operations.In the second quarter of 2009, Ford received additional proceeds related to the settlement of a state and local tax matter that was unresolved at the time of sale and recognized after-tax gain of $3million in Income/(Loss) from discontinued operations. Held-for-Sale Operations Volvo.In the fourth quarter of 2008, we performed annual goodwill impairment testing for our Volvo reporting unit.We compared the carrying value of our Volvo reporting unit to its fair value, and concluded that the goodwill was not impaired.We performed this measurement relying primarily on the income approach, applying a discounted cash flow methodology.Our valuation was based on an in-use premise which considered a discount rate, after-tax return on sales rate, growth rate, and terminal value consistent with assumptions we believed principal market participants (i.e., other global automotive manufacturers) would use.This methodology produced appropriate valuations for entities we disposed of in recent years; in light of worsening economic conditions, however, we also considered other valuations, including a discounted cash flow analysis using more conservative assumptions than we initially used.This alternative analysis incorporated a significantly higher discount rate, offset partially by a higher growth rate; a much lower after-tax return on sales rate; and a lower terminal value.This alternative analysis reduced the valuation of our Volvo reporting unit by about50%.Even this more conservative analysis, however, did not support an impairment of Volvo goodwill at year-end. As previously disclosed, in recent years we have undertaken efforts to divest non-core assets in order to allow us to focus exclusively on our global Ford brand.Toward that end, in 2007 we sold our interest in Aston Martin; in 2008, we sold our interest in Jaguar Land Rover, and a significant portion of our ownership in Mazda.During the first quarter of 2009, based on our strategic review of Volvo and in light of our goal to focus on the global Ford brand, our Board of Directors committed to actively market Volvo for sale, notwithstanding the current distressed market for automotive-related assets.Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2009 we reported Volvo as held for sale and we ceased depreciation of its long-lived assets in the second quarter of 2009. Our commitment to actively market Volvo for sale also triggered a held-for-sale impairment test in the first quarter of 2009.We received information from our discussions with potential buyers that provided us a value for Volvo using a market approach, rather than an income approach.We concluded that the information we received from our discussions with potential buyers was more representative of the value of Volvo given the current market conditions, the

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES	NOTE 14.DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting We adopted FASB newly-issued standard for derivative instruments and hedging activities on its effective date, January1,2009.The standard enhances the current disclosure framework for derivative instruments and hedging activities.In this initial year of adoption, we have elected not to present earlier periods. In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to global market risks, including the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, certain commodity prices, and interest rates.To manage these risks, we enter into various derivatives contracts.Foreign currency exchange contracts including forwards, options, and futures are used to manage foreign exchange exposure.Commodity contracts including forwards and options are used to manage commodity price risk.Interest rate contracts including swaps, caps, and floors are used to manage the effects of interest rate fluctuations.Cross-currency interest rate swap contracts are used to manage foreign currency and interest rate exposures on foreign-denominated debt.The vast majority of our derivatives are over-the-counter customized derivative transactions and are not exchange-traded.Management reviews our hedging program, derivative positions, and overall risk management strategy on a regular basis.We only enter into transactions that we believe will be highly effective at offsetting the underlying risk. Our use of derivatives does generate the risk that a counterparty may default on a derivative contract.We establish exposure limits for each counterparty to minimize this risk and provide counterparty diversification.Substantially all of our derivative exposures are with counterparties that have long-term credit ratings of single-A or better.The aggregate fair value of derivative instruments in asset positions on September30,2009 was approximately $2billion, representing the maximum loss that we would recognize at that date if all counterparties failed to perform as contracted.We enter into master agreements with counterparties that generally allow for netting of certain exposures; therefore, the actual loss we would recognize if all counterparties failed to perform as contracted would be significantly lower. To ensure consistency in our treatment of derivative and non-derivative exposures with regard to our master agreements, we do not net our derivative position by counterparty for purposes of balance sheet presentation and disclosure.In the third quarter of 2009, we began posting cash collateral with certain counterparties based on our net position with regard to foreign currency and commodity derivative contracts.As of September30,2009, we posted $19million in cash collateral related to derivative instruments, which is included in restricted cash and reported in Other assets on our consolidated balance sheet. All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value.We have elected to apply hedge accounting to certain derivatives in both the Automotive and Financial Services sectors; derivatives that receive designated hedge acco

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	NOTE 16.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Cash Equivalents Financial Instruments.Cash and all highly liquid investments with a maturity of 90days or less at date of purchase are classified as Cash and cash equivalents.We measure financial instruments classified as cash equivalents at fair value.We use quoted prices where available to determine fair value for U.S. Treasury securities, and industry-standard valuation models using market-based inputs when quoted prices are unavailable, such as for government agency securities and corporate obligations. Marketable Securities.Investments including U.S. government and non-U.S. government securities, corporate obligations and equities, and asset-backed securities with a maturity date greater than 90days at the date of purchase are classified as marketable securities.Where available, including for U.S. Treasury securities and corporate equities, we use quoted market prices to measure fair value.If quoted market prices are not available, such as for government agency securities, asset-backed securities, and corporate obligations, matrix pricing models for similar assets are used. Retained Interest in Securitized Assets.Ford Credit estimates the fair value of retained interests using internal valuation models, market inputs, and its own assumptions in estimating cash flows from the sales of retail receivables. Derivative financial instruments.Detail on valuation methodologies used to measure fair value of derivative instruments may be found in Note 14.
