This vehicle has been a lemon since I leased it and the Ford Motor Company has done nothing to try and stop the problems. They have refused on all accounts to even right up a service complaint so there will be a record of the times I have taken it in for problems. This vehicle is dangerous, it should have been totally taken off the road years ago. The door lock in the rear goes up and down at random and it does it repeatly until I have to shut the car off because I, M afraid it will catch fire. The tires started wearing through when there was only 30,000. Miles on them, and now it will not crank unless I hold the gear shift up past the P mark on the colum and I live on a flat paved road. The Ford company said it was from parking on a hill. I live in South East ga, we have no hills.( dot number: )
