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.
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.
