Really upset as this was a brand new vehicle - this happened three times before ford took vehicle in to sort out problem. On the one occasion we were told that petrol had been put in instead of diesel and we had to pay the cost of removing tank etc! When in actual fact the vehicle had just stopped again with no warning - the very same problem that had happened at 7000km. We have also had to replace the turbo twice.
The last time the turbo blew was because a metal oil pipe broke off and all the oil poured out - we were told by the mechanic that we were very lucky that the vehicle had not caught on fire. We are now fixing and selling. Very disappointed with this vehicle and will never recommend Ford to anybody. Absolutely worst vehicle that we have had!
