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.
On my way home from work, I heard a big explosion. Scared me to death. Pulled over examined car and found nothing. I was confused. I drove the rest of the way cautiously but kept hearing sounds of glass falling from car. Once home, I noticed my moon roof had exploded and there was a big hole in it. The remaining glass was in small bits. It cost me $1124.00.
