Well some people have good luck, it is a great car but I swear mine was built on a Friday. 47k-65k, radiator, serp belt, hood wouldnt open latch broke, TSS sensor leaked after replacement, shifter indicator broke, wheel cylinders leaked, needed to replace cylinders/shoes/drums hardware kit, brake fluid was all over the place, heater switch but Ford covered it, needed an O2 sensor but that wasnt a big deal, up and downstream though, drivers side power window switch, right headlight assembly cracked needed replacement, passanger side window black seal, slight leak. Several littel parts to have broke to, washer nozzle, thing that holds the hood support ( yellow clip), near the passanger side where they would rest their left leg, that broke apart from one of the locations for some reason one day. So I dont know I have always done maintance to it, but it still gives me [censored].
