| We believe the sheer number of defect on this car is unbelievable. we purchased it used from my parents. total cost of non wear and tear repairs is around $5000. this is over 25% of the vehicles original value, and over 50% of the value at time of purchase. while no accidents have occurred, we believe ford should take responsibility for a bad product. *ak | |||

| I am concerned about the warning lights on the dashboard. when driving this vehicle the abs brake light along with the emergency brake stay lit while driving and when the vehicle is being used. it also seems that the door ajar buzzer tends to keep sounding while driving. this is a hindrance while driving. | |||
