I complained about this car the day I bought it. I told them it was a lemon and I wanted my money back. The dealer refused. From the day I bought the car (one year ago) it is has been in the shop for a total of over 8 weeks. It has had replacement transmission, catalytic converters, gaskets, pumps, hoses, filters and it still does not run. It doesn't start properly, if it starts at all. It stalls in reverse and initital shift into drive does not run smooth. The wiper fluid does not come out. The car rattles and sounds awful. The car is under manufacturer warranty and they won't fix it. The car is a lemon there is something fundamentally wrong with it and it can't be fixed. Ford knows this and they won't take it back.

Every time consumer attempts to fill the vehicle with gasoline the automatic shut off on the gas pump would keep clicking off as if the gas tank was full when in fact it was not, at times it may take up to 10 minutes to fill the vehicle. Nlm
