 The first incident my fuel gauge is off & producing incorrect data of gas remaining in car & driver window would roll up and down when trying to just roll it up. i took the car back to the dealership they did not fix the issue. another incident i was on the highway and the stalled while driving. third incident i was at a stop light with my 5 year old daughter in the car, all of a sudden the car made a loud revving up noise then shot us forward into oncoming traffic. i was barely able to back up before the cars reached us. another time i was driving with my daughter taking her to daycare then going to work and we were going through a school zone. we stopped at a stop sign and there was a family with 3 children crossing and the car shot us forward again and we almost hit the family. several times when picking up my daughter i would put the car in reverse and my foot was on the brake pedal still all of a sudden the car shot us back into the cars behind us. this car is very unsafe. i fear for the safety of others and my daughters and my life when getting into this car. ford should recall this vehicle and replace it with a new car. people shouldn't be at risk for this. *tr

 Dt: when windows in back seat are rolled down the noise is deafening. it hurts the ears of anybody in vehicle. when the windows are down the whole van vibrates. took it to dealer, and they have no solution. he called ford,they said if they decide there is a problem they will call him back. contact has concerns about other people buying this vehicle. contact does not know what to do next.*ak
VISIBILITY - WINDSHIELD

 Reflection on windshield makes visibility very difficult. this causes driving blind for short instances and makes maneuvering/parking in tight spots almost impossible. *nm

 Windshield glare unsafe. e.g. rounding corner into sunlight causes dash reflection onto windshield & unable to see objects or vehicles in front. use of polarized sunglasses helps...but can't wear them all the time. difficult to judge distance, see other vehicles.*jb

 The reflection of the dashboard onto the windshield impedes visibility out of the windshield. going from the outside (both sunny and cloudy days) into a garage or tunnel, the extreme glare prohibits visiblity through the windsheild. when in a parking lot and backing out of a space, visibility is restricted seeing the adjacent cars.

 Dt: contact states the interior color of vehicle is causing a glare in the windshield, making it difficult to see. this happens on a clear and sunny day. when it is cloudy the reflection is not as bad. the service dealer suggested putting a rug on the dashboard to eliminate this problem.*ak
