I had been looking at this vehicle for about 3 months before I bought it. Now that I actually own one, I'm so glad I purchased it. It is very comfortable and quite quick for a V6 which I own. I wish it were a little better on gas, I guess the only difference I would make it buying one new is purchasing a V8 rather than the V6. However, I have no reservations.

I thought this would be a great vehicle. Instead, we have had it in the shop at least 10 times. I am on the 4th transmission and it to is going. The back panel has broken numerous times, the dealership has to replace it several times when I take it in because they can't get it on without it cracking. The black paint around the doors is peeling - I was told that isn't covered in the paint warranty that we bought! The ignition had to be replaced twice because it wouldn't turn. We have had to replace numerous other parts on this vehicle. What I had hoped is to have a great vehicle for years - instead I'm stuck with a lemon.
Same problems as everyone else

Well, my problems seem to not be a coincidence compared to others. I've had wheel bearing problems since I got the car and the strip under the rear window has a crack. I've had this car towed once because the wheel bearings failing in the front almost killed me on the interstate. I can't believe it has such an average high rating on this site. The V6 is one of the weakest on the planet. If Cadillac can get 306 hp out of 3.6 liters, why does Ford manage 210 hp from 4? They still use the same crappy V6 and the mileage is pretty terrible too. Oh, and the ride is rough and the open differential is also terrible. If you have one wheel on mud and one on pavement, you're going no where.
