| Description of the problem | Several factors:9 months after purchasing new, accelerator stuck and was not part of the floor mat recall, dealer brushed me off. In oct/nov 2015 braking system failed, mastercylinder had a crack in it and fluid was empty, this was at 62,000 miles. Yesterday brakes failed again, shoes/pads worn out, hub/rotor dented, bearings replaced, and was told not to drive until repaired, 64,000 miles currently on car. Also, the interior controls on the dash are starting to come loose from dash. I worry about my safety every time a drive this car. The outside looks great. I am the original one -owner. Very upset to be spending so much on a low mileage car. I have all my receipts for work performed. Informed corp. Ford yesterday and got a i'm sorry from dorothy. Vehicle was in motion on city streets each time of occurence. |
