Interior wore extremely poorly.
Water-pump is impossible to change due to the excessively cramped engine compartment, replaced (now) for the second time.
Over-all this car is a major lemon!!!
This car is one of ford's worse vehicles they have ever allowed to come off of their assembly line.
The interior is impossible to keep clean.
You must have bought a crap car then. My car is a prize.
Sorry to hear you got the bad apple in the barrel - I've had remarkably few problems with mine overall. Upkeep has been reasonable, fairly comfortable ride, and the only major maintenance issue I'm facing is (you guessed it) the water pump. (Replaced at 80K, probably have to replace again now at about 125K.)
If you guys have the V6 engines you may ask your mechanics what exactly is wrong with the water pump. If it is a broken plastic impeller ask to have it replaced with an after market pump that uses a metal impeller.
