 Bought used with 25k miles. Transmission (automatic) replaced with Ford rebuilt at 80K.  Now at 140K transmission is failing again! This has turned me against Ford forever. Other downers: backseats very uncomfortable, rear seat belts torture passenger, poor city gas mileage, safety concerns with tipping over if tire failure, poor towing ability (UHaul won't even rent you a trailer), rear end wants to come around on gravel roads.  Owning this vehicle for nearly 6 years has convinced me that I will NEVER AGAIN buy a Ford.  My next vehicle will be a Toyota or Honda.
