Description of the problem | 1st off i'll start with the worse to lease problems, the trans shifting very slowly and hard, the car is too low and hits everytime to a driveway is entered at a mall or any parking lot and is too low for chicago winters, the seats are very cheap and get stains from drops of water, car rides hard and noisy especially the rear, poor stereo sound, very slow acceleration, electronic steering makes the vehicle difficult to control and hard to stay straight in lane, and everything's in the wrong place (arm rest too low to reach steering wheel, seat to low or far away to reach pedals and on long trips wears the driver out from fighting the vehicle. Own a 2005 taurus that made me a repeat buyer but this will be my last ford and toyota, hyundai as well as some other car companies are just too problematic to ever purchase again due to all the new trans and steering problems combined with the poor craftsmanship make older vehicle look so good now. |
