 The car had a number of problems, every manufacturer will have them but its how the company handles them, Ford failed miserably.The most serious was the transmission, it did not shift properly, it slipped, and it made whining noises.I got nothing but a run around from the dealership and from Ford.I see where many others are having the same problems.The car had a build date of 6/10 which was suppose to be after the factory fix but obviously they have not figured it out yet.This went on for 6 months andfinally I had enough and sold the car for a major lose.I laugh when I see the Ford commercials now about quality and commitment.
