What owners wrote
This car has caused nothing but tears and stress. I am a single mother and this purchase was huge for me and I can't even look at it without being stressed. First off the airbags were recalled over two years ago and ford still hasn't received parts. So my daughter can't even drive in the passenger seat. Second and this is the major problem is when I hit a pothole or uneven pacing of street the breaks hit the floor as does not come to a complete stop. This is terrifying.
"takata recall" in the last 1 1/2 year I have spent $1500 in brake issues. Brake pedal just goes soft. This is within the last 7000 miles that I have owed the car. Current miles 68,000.
