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.
Replaced battery, rallys, starter... car still only starts when it wants to. Multiple mechanics are baffled! No one can seem to find the issue. I was told there is not 1 specific test that can pin point the issue. So far they are going on process of elimination. The car is not reading any codes. I have been stranded and then came back the next day and it starts up. I have seen multiple people post videos of this problem with this car but no solutions can be found.
