THIS YEAR MODEL IS A LEMON. FORD KNOWS THIS. I HAVE HAD TWO RECALLS ON CAR. I HAD TO REPLACE MY HEAD GASKETS WHICH COST ME AROUND 1,000 DOLLARS. IT TOOK FORD MONTHS TO REFUND MY MONEY . I BOUGHT THE CAR KNEW IT HAD A CHIP IN THE HOOD. WHEN THE DEALER REPAIRED IT THEY LEFT TAPE UNDER THE HOOD. I DIDN'T NOW ABOUT THE TAPE UNTIL I TRIED TO TRADE MY CAR IN AND THEY FOUND THE TAPE. THE DEALER TOLD ME HE FELT THE CAR HAD BEEN WRECK AND REPAIRED. WELL THERE GOES THE TRADE IN VALUE OF MY CAR. I CALLED AND E-MAILED FORD ABOUT ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS AND ALL I GET IS I AM SORRY THAT YOU HAVE HAD SUCH A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH FORD. WE HOPE IN THE FUTURE YOU HAVE A BETTER ONE..I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD CAR. EVERY CAR THEY BUILD HAS MAJOR PROBLEMS. THEY TAKE YOUR MONEY AND IN RETURN YOU GET A PIECE OF JUNK.*AK
