What owners wrote
My driver passenger door does not close anymore as of 7/9/2023. My 2-year-old son could have flown out the door as he sits on that side in his car seat.
Paint on the lift gate near the license plate bubbled up and flaked off exposing bare aluminum. My ford dealer says it's not covered under warranty. This is a widespread problem known by ford
