Description of the problem | I bought this car new on dec 31, 2013. Here's my list of problems... 1) trunk was way off alignment, dealership fixed best they could... 2) wipers are hitting the side of frame when they wipe. It makes a very loud noise when wipers are on and is very annoying. Dealership is installing new wiper motors as i write this... 3) molding on both rear doors at top of window keep falling down, also being repaired now. 4) car drops rims when at a stop and almost kills the engine..... 5) car hesitates when accelerator is pressed, then jerks forward. I drive this car very conservatively , like an old man, i take great care of all my cars. I am very disappointed in this purchase! I've owned fords for 25 years and the quality is greatly going down. Looks like i'll have to file another lemon law suite against ford.... I did win my first suite in 2010 on a new ford ranger! |
