To start off, I will not be buying another Ford. I switched due to major issues with Chevrolet cars, looks like Toyota it is! Bought the vehicle from a family friend, was great for first month. Then issues started. Front drive shaft, sway bars, wheel bearing, exhaust manifold bolts, exhaust donut. Then it began making an extremely loud grinding/vibration at around 45mph. It currently is doing it at (30-35, 40-45, 50-55) and have spent near a thousand in trying to find the problem. I then took the vehicle on a trip with a 1,200lb four wheeler in tow. Had the issue at all speeds. I wish Ford would figure things out as this thing is crap! Found over $35,000 in dealer repair sheets for this vehicle prior to our ownership! They were hid in the vehicle, and our friends were not aware of this as they only owned it for a month. I can't believe that a car company can show such little care for the consumer.
$40,000 purchase price
$36,000 in repairs
=$75,000 (0.36/mi, .11/mi more than going over on a lease) Think I will lease future cars so they can have the piles of crap back!
