I have had this car about one month. It is a pleasure to drive a new car since I treat myself only about every ten years. The fuel economy and acceleration are great. Reliability is still to be determined but the radio quit after two days, was confirmed as non-operational by the dealer, then resumed working without any repairs being made. I suspect I will have future problems with it. The ride is rather stiff, probably because the recommended tire pressure is 37 psi. The automatic transmission is built to emulate a manual transmission so shifting is very noticeable and not always at the optimum transition points. The transmission has an L position on the shifter, rather than an S, and there is no documentation in the owners manual concerning this. Ford Customer Service (Detroit) was able to give me a good understanding of how it operates but it is surprising that they could not provide me with anything in writing. A rear view camera is standard which is a nice touch.

I purchased my vehicle very beginning of 2016 with 18k miles on it. It has always shifted funny around 40k it was shifting horrible. Took to the shop warranty covered the clutch in the transmission (I did not even realize my transmission had a clutch as it is and automatic). Which caused me to do research to find that this vehicle has horrible reviews. Not even a month after I got the car back it starts shaking and rattling every time it shifted. Another clutch covered under warranty. Between the 2 clutches I have taken the car to the shop because while pulling out on to the highway the car stopped and acted like it was going to die almost resulting in me getting T-Boned by a semi with my baby in the vehicle. This has happened now twice. I spoke to the dealership that we have bought 3 vehicles from, and the results they had for me was eating what I have in my car and buying new, or downgrading and taking a higher payment. So next step is to contact corporate, then the next step will be contacting a lawyer. The inside is nice, and I love my backup camera which is why it has 2 stars. I will not even let my teenage daughter drive this vehicle

Going uphill is the worse, after a few thousand miles it will shudder and accelerate very poorly no matter how many times I took it to "fix the issue"...Avoid purchasing..

transmission barely makes it possible to get through an intersection. ford claims it isn't a safety risk so they do nothing....get an attorney!
