Front end unacceptable! Then defroster didn't work in winter and I had to use my shirt sleeve to keep rubbing the windshield. I told AC collins ford dealership that something was wrong with the coil springs and brakes when I bought it. I also told them that the AC was leaking in car. I told them that the steering wheel would shake when I was braking. I can send over the emails if you like. AC collins sold me this car with serious suspension problems. You may have all records of proof.
