Nothing but problems with the car. First noticed leak in the floorboard on the front passenger side as the dealer detailed car. Interior dome light fell off soon after, followed by the fuel gate door and the left drivers side mirror. Now my transmission has blown up, all while going 25 mph or under, and all under 21,000 miles! we've had a major recall on average every other month too. What a lemmon!

Vehicle is in the shop as of 21 Aug 01 for water leak under dashboard? trunk will not lock, automatic transmission difficult to get out of park worst car I have ever owned. Ford Motor Company not helping at all. My warranty will be up in a few, that means all defects will come out of pocket for repair.
