The body paint is easily scratched and chipped.
The body paint is easily scratched and chipped. The metal is easily dented and flexes easily, even with gentle pressure from your hand. The onboard entertainment system SYNC is crippled with bugs and does not come close to performing as it should. Everything on this vehicle is expensive to maintain or fix. The entire line of EcoBoost models from 2015-2018 were engineered with faulty engines that can cause coolant intrusion into the engine at any time, causing the entire engine to need to be replaced with an approximately $9k (CDN) price tag. This is a widespread known issue and Ford has done nothing to address it for their customers. As well the front brake lines were already recalled but now the rear brake lines are also being investigated by the NTSB after many reports of them exploding without provocation. This happened to me about a month ago. The brakes failed to stop the car at a red light at a main intersection and almost caused a major accident with my son in the car. Thank goodness one of the other drivers was paying attention and was able to come to a stop or it would have been catastrophic. On top of all that, the car is a gas guzzler. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with mine now. I’m certainly not sinking $9k into it for a new engine that shouldn’t have failed in the first place. But I can’t sell it as-is. So it’ll probably go to auction for parts and I’ll get pennies on the dollar for it. This is my second Ford and my second Ford lemon. Never again.

Just like previous complaints now I am sitting here
Just like previous complaints now I am sitting here saddened by not knowing what to do about having a vehicle. Coolant is going into the engin and now needs a new long block. Insurance will not cover, warranty will not cover, Ford will not acknowledge and make a recall to fix. It's going to cost eight thousand dollars to fix it. If you have any sense at all do not buy a ford. This was my first ford and will be my last. This is a piece of junk!! Ford knows and will not fix the issues.
