FRONT HOOD HAS PAINT PEELING ISSUE WITHIN 2 YEARS OF PURCHASE. AUTO TRANS DOESN'T SHIFT PROPERLY IN AT LEAST 1 OF THE FIRST 3 GEARS. IT BUCKS WHEN COLD IN WINTER WEATHER UNTIL CAR WARMS FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES.. FORD HAS HAD THE CAR ON 3 OCCASIONS WITHOUT FIXING THE ISSUE.

AIR BAGS
I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL FORD DEALERSHIPS TO HAVE MY TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL SERVICE AND THEY ALL SAY THERE ARE NO PARTS AND I HAVE TO WAIT FOR MONTHS TO GET AN AIR BAG PART. WHEN I CALL THE NATIONAL FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE, I GOT THROUGH THE PHONE TREE AND CHOSE TAKATA AIR BAG WHICH HUNG UP ON ME AFTER 5 MINUTES OF DEAD AIR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR FROM AN AUTO MANUFACTURER WITH A RECALL ONGOING.

POWER TRAIN
SINCE I'VE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW I HAVE HAD RANDOM ISSUES WITH THE CAR. FIRST I'VE EXPERIENCED A HUGE ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION, IT MAKES A VIBRATING/SHAKING PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING ON ANY STREET ANY SPEED. I HAVE OPERATED MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS BEFORE AND HAVE NEVER RAN ACROSS THIS. NO MATTER WHAT GEAR OR WHAT CONDITION IT CONSISTENTLY DOES THIS. FORD DEALER WAS TO NO HELP AT ALL. AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL START TO UNCONTROLLABLY SWERVE AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STARTS BLINKING, THIS ISSUE IS UNKNOWN TO ME WHY THIS HAPPENS AND HAS ALMOST PUT ME IN AN ACCIDENT. SECONDLY, THE ENTIRE IGNITION TUMBLER JUST POPPED OUT. I CAN PULL THE IGNITION OUT OF THE STEERING COLUMN.
