CarComplaints.com Notes: Ford changed a lot of things for its 3rd generation, just none of them were a good idea.
The transmission tends to hesitate and jerk when accelerating. The new electronically-driven power steering can fail suddenly and without warning. Even Ford's SYNC can be a headache. Actually, scratch that last one — it's always been a headache.
Ok this is break number 2. First time the dealership took care of it out of "courtesy". Second time I had to deal with this through my insurance. They covered it, but really twice in almost a year's time! Again no impact, but just a crack in the corner of my windshield. Nothing it hit. I went to work one morning and nothing was wrong, then came out for lunch and there it was. So again I fixed it.
The care came out of the dealership and the crack happened in the bottom left hand corner. Looking from the outside in, it looked like something hit it because it had an impact spot and then cracked up half the windshield. But when you felt it, it was smooth and on the inside it was right in a corner that you could not get to. So this was obviously a defect of the car or the windshield itself. Called my dealer and they fixed it free of charge. But the fact that it happened really sucked because the car was only several months old. But this is not the first and I have several more complaints on this oh so wonderful (sarcasm) car and will list them on this website. I can tell you that I will never buy a ford again.
OK. Now I am really pissed. I had this car for only 2 years and I have had 3 windshields cracked. I already fixed them twice when there was no impact but it looked like it was a defect. And the same thing happened again!!!!! The crack is in the middle of my windshield and is not touching the edges. There is no impact and it just looks like a line in the windshield. This cannot just be the way the window is put on the car. This has GOT to be a defect of the car itself that it finally just cracks the windshield. Maybe my car was manufactured wrong or something. But this car is jinxed or cursed.
