"I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

It had so many problems it would be hard to list them all here. It had rattles, clunking noises, had front end parts replaced, the front end needed alignment 3 times and still wore out the front tires with 18,000 miles on it. I traded it and found the depreciation to be typical of Ford. It was worth about 1/2 of what it listed for a year earlier.

General comments?

After owning this car and trying to get Ford to fix it I plan on never owning another Ford as long as I live. They are going to have to find some other suckers. It won't matter if they call it a five hundred or a Taurus it is still junk.

Sounds like somebody didn't do their homework when buying a car...ouch.

Sounds like you live in an area loaded with potholes or washboard roads... especially with a new car knocked out of alignment and not corrected immediately. My son tore up the suspension in his in this very manner with 1 winter bad pothole hit.

No, it sounds like a typical Ford backed by typical Ford dealers. No wonder they lost $12.7 billion last year.
