When a my grandma gave me this car the speedometer broke during the first drive home. It would bounce back and forth 10mph at a time so I never knew how fast I was actually going.
Gas gage only worked occasionally.
Cruise control went out after only a couple of uses.
Had to press lock/unlock on key-less entry otherwise it wouldn't start.
Large hole in muffler at 26,000 miles. (could have been shady mechanic)
Fuel pump went out at 50,000 miles. Wouldn't hold pressure, but would start if left alone for a couple days.
Stereo had weak bass. It was almost loud enough when maxed out, and I got used to the distortion after a while.
Based on the better part of a year that I drove this car I will honestly never buy another ford product. It was the worst car I ever had.
Car also has a tendency to lose control and hit guard rails and deer.
I have the same car and the stereo bass was so bad, I replaced all the speakers and radio within a week.
Hah!
"Car also has a tendency to lose control and hit guard rails and deer."
Are you sure it's the car and not the driver? One of them needs an adjustment.
It certainly must be terrible to own a car that "has a tendency to lose control and hit guardrails and deer".
It's also terrible to own a car that has a tendency to run out of gas when you forget to fill it, or won't stop if you don't apply the brakes...
One other thing - The reviewer won't ever "buy" another Ford.
Excuse me -he/she didn't "buy" this one - It was given to the reviewer by "grandma".
