"Great MPG and Reliability!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

It's been very reliable; however it came out of the dealership new with the headlights pointed way too low; and when I asked them to fix it under warranty they are still pointed too low. I should ask them to fix it again.

Really, it's good; but the wipers started to go after 2 years of driving; I guess that's about normal now; but wipers used to last longer. Minor, I know.

General comments?

It isn't a really powerful driver; but I did buy it because it's an SUV that sits up high (we get snow here) and my wife likes SUV style. I liked that for an SUV type it gets great MPG! I get 29-36mpg typically. Once I got 40mpg.

I certainly wouldn't tow much with it; but at least we get the good MPG. I did want to support Ford's American build high tech effort, so we might lead the world again. No, I don't work for Ford or any; I just feel it's the patriotic thing to do if we build a good product, buy it.

The GPS system is nice, for it's day.

Wiper blades should be replaced every season.
