We are seniors n bought this car n have had several things wrong. It stop run̈Ning so we put a new battery in it n it still did not start. We took it back to ford Dealer n they put a new starter in n that did not work so they did a diagnostic test on it n said it needs a new engine that they were doing a recall on it at ford manufraction n are going to put a new engine in it but it will take a month to do that. We are seniors n need a car for dr n other appointments n here we set. The ford dealer don't loan out cars . We have a 100 percent warranty on the car . I am so discouraged . We need a small dependable car my husband was in military n he is 81 n we need not to be taken advantage of. Thought you should know Maybe give. Us a different car. That one is financed n we live on pension.
