I discovered that this car suffers from rampant transmission failure- luckily, right before the transmission started to fail. We were fortunately already prepared to get rid of the car. A couple years ago, the car started making a very loud vibrating noise during certain load conditions. It sounded like something major was on the edge of breaking. Then, in October 2019, around 75,000 miles, the transmission started grinding when shifting from park to drive. The car also lurched forward, even when slamming on the brake pedal. It then made a VERY concerning grinding noise while driving, accompanied by shaking. Even when idling, the car was very loud. It sounded like either the engine was working very hard or the radiator fans were on full speed to cool the engine and transmission. I've never heard a sound that loud from the car before. We stopped driving it and got rid of the car before the $7,000 repair bill could surface. I didn't file this under "transmission failure" because I'm not absolutely certain that it failed after selling it, but all signs pointed to that. What a wimpy design from Ford- a transmission that can't handle being driven at highway speeds, which is supposed to be the least damaging condition for driving.
