I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR... FIRST AT A LITTLE OVER 1000 MILES THE CAR WOULDN'T GO INTO FIRST OR REVERSE WITHOUT A LOT OF FORCING AND DOUBLE CLUTCHING... LOCAL DEALER SAID OF WE NEED TO SWAP YOUR TRANSMISSION FLUID TO FULL SYTHETIC AND IT'LL WORK LIKE NEW. THAT DID NOTHING SOON THE CAR WOULDN'T GO INTO FOURTH GEAR AND WOULDN'T DOWNSHIFT TO THIRD GEAR EITHER. IT WENT BACK TO.THE SHOP THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT BUT EVEN THE TECH SAID IT WASNT 100% FIXED AND THAT IT MAY PERIODICALLY MESS UP. SOON THERE REPAIRS GOT WORSE THE CAR WOULD COMPLETELY LOCK REAR WHEELS DURING SIMPLE DOWNSHIFTS OR UPSHIFTS. THEY REPAIRED AGAIN. AT ONE POINT ON THE INTESTATE IT LOCKED UP AND THE PERSON BEHIND ME LOST CONTROLL AND SPUN INTO.THE GRASS OFF THE ROAD.. IT WENT IN AGAIN FOR REPAIRS THIS TIME THE CLUTCH NEEDED ADJUSTING AND THE FIXED SOME.FAILED PARTS... THEN THE REAR STARTED LEAKING THIS PAST THANKSGIVING AND I WAS STUCK.IN MYRTLE BEACH AND THE CAR WAS AT THE DEALER THERE AND THE PART THE NEEDED TO.FIX THE CAR WAS ON BACK ORDER. I'M A 22 YEAR OLD GUY WITH SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS TRYING TO.ENJOY.MYSELF BUT THE STRESS FROM THIS CAR IS KILLING ME AND THE CAR HAS CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN IT... FORD SAYS THERE SORRY BUT WON'T REALLY DO.ANYTHING ITS SPENT OVER 80 DAYS IN THE SHOP. FOR SAID I NEED A LAWYER OR THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME. I HAVE FILED MULTIPLE CRC COMPLAINTS BUT.FORD CLOSES THEM WHEN THEY SAY THE CARS FIXED WHICH IT NEVER IS. CURRENTLY THE CARS BEEN IN THE DEALER THE LAST 10 DAYS AND THEY SAY ITS FIXED BUT ALSO. SAY ITS SHAKING CAUSE MY RIMS BENT FROM REAR END LOCK UPS AND I HAVE WHEEL AND TIRE COVERAGE AND THEY STILL WON'T FIX THE ISSUE L. PLEASE HELP ME. *TR
