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.

The chugging when accelerating from a full stop is extremely aggravating, and I have no idea how serious it may be. Even if I accelerate very slowly and carefully it will still jump and jerk. I am just a poor little old lady and this is probably the last car I'll ever be able to buy. Sure would be nice to have some confidence that it isn't about to go belly-up on me.
