What owners wrote
Even though I have put the car in park, it still moves and has hit me and some of the passengers getting out the car with the doors and other parts of the vehicle almost running us over. The vehicle was put in park according to dial. However, it still moved.
The vehicle failed to start 3 different times. The first time was immediately after purchase of the vehicle - it started after 30 min and was taken back to the dealership. They replaced the battery and no issues until 4 days then it occurred again. The vehicle was stopped and parked overnight and wouldn't start the next morning. The battery had enough power - jump starting didn't help. The 3 tow truck was finally called into tow the vehicle to the ford dealership.
