| Ihave lost controll of this vehicle several times due to the steering and overall handling ,my tires are also playing a roll in this i beleave this problem is much more pronounced in rain or snow . i feel this vehicle is very unsafe for myself and my children! i've already had the vehicle into auburn motor sales for 6 days for complaints of lack&surge of power,bad sulfer smell at idle rolling idle(up&down), extremely poor gas mileage. the dealership was unable to diognose problem. as of today i've lost 21 days of use ,on a vehicle i've only had about4 and a half months know they say i need an engine that i'm still waiting on. i told the dealership i didn't feel this vehicle was safe and wanted it replaced .i got know where, when they found out i got lemon law paperwork they told me ford would not do anything about it pursue it through the state. i don't see how they can tell you that you are stuck when you purchased a new vehicle and it has compromised your safety time&time again! my salesman told me to look at the bright side i was still here to talk about it!!! i don't find this very amusing ,i wonder if ford knows how he feels in my opinion he was telling me i could of been dead!!! brenda. *ak (tiresize: 255/70/16)( dot number: tire size: 255/70/16 ) | |||

| When going down a steep grade neither drive 1 or drive 2 engaged & did not slow the vehicle. neither low gears worked when the vehicle was in motion or when started from a complete stop. the gas guage will start showing 1/4 tank of gas when there is at least 3/4 full tank. this is accompanied by a burning smell coming from the front of the vehicle. when the vehicle is stopped & restarted the gas guage often returns to the proper level of gas in the tank. | |||
