“I've had this gem since 2010, bought with 30,000 miles...now has 104,000 miles. It was great until 2014. Where do I start? (1) no heat- broken blender door actuator...manually set it to the warm setting for the winter behind glove box. (2) driver's door handle snapped last year(replaced for $100)...and now this year the passenger side snapped. (3) doors are constantly ajar , alternating from one side to the other. …”
NHTSA complaint #10824162, filed 2016-02“The wheels developed stress cracks within five months of my owning the vehicle. The dealer and a ford representative each looked at the wheels without removing them from the vehicle and informed me that the stress craking was caused by an over torquing of the lug nuts. I have only had the car six months and I have never had the front wheels removed. I do not believe the cracks are a result of over-torquing and I am seeking any additional failure information of my description. I also believe the stress crack will continue to worsen and eventually fail.”
