Tie rods and sway bars wore out at 32K miles and 5 years,1 month, as did original tires.. expected longer wear than this on such a new car, as I have gone > 100K on my previous small Ford suspensions untouched. Dealer wanted >$1100 to repair., so I went to Napa after market parts with lifetime warrantee to fix.

Car started grinding, crunching, and shaking, and had difficulty turning, accelerating, and going up hills. Car was brought to a Ford dealership and mechanics were told by owner that there was a transmission problem. Mechanics reset transmission, but did no further work. Car continued to make noises, shutter, and jolt. Was brought to another Ford dealership on December 2014 when car was sputtering at stops. Mechanics replaced entire transmission when 23000 miles only.
