I have taken the car back several times when I first purchased it to fix the brakes and hemborg Ford told me, "that's just the way Ford brakes are, metal on metal".. I've had so many problems with this car it's unbelievable.. I feel unsafe driving this car.. as it has locked me in many times..the windows will not roll down half the time.. the gas gauge only works half the time.. I wish I had never purchased this horrible product.. I will never purchase another Ford vehicle again and I encourage friends and family not to buy their product either!
