Example complaints

“Power steering was leaking. I called ford company and was told there was nothing they could do. Took it to two ford dealers to get cheapest prices. Had to have power steering rod and pump replaced. Which cost another 1200. Going broke from this car. Air conditioner also stopped working but could not afford to have it fixed yet. Dealer says they have to take off the whole dashboard to fix. They tried to put add something to the air to cool it but it did not work.”
