CarComplaints.com Notes: Ford changed a lot of things for its 3rd generation, just none of them were a good idea.
The transmission tends to hesitate and jerk when accelerating. The new electronically-driven power steering can fail suddenly and without warning. Even Ford's SYNC can be a headache. Actually, scratch that last one — it's always been a headache.
Now another problem with this car! So now no horn, also at same time no alarm beep when set. So I call dealer to ask what number are the fuses hoping it was a bad fuse! they never called me back! but I did located the fuses & their good so now figure its the part inside the steering column. so back to the dealer 4x trans (clutches) power steering lost,front & rear main gaskets,purge value,trans module now the horn & alarm...all this since new at 16,000 & 4yrs,I'm there all the time...

After the winter thaw I go to lock my car and no beep. Upon further inspection I have no horn.
