Consumer Description

I COULD HANDLE THE STUDDER AND HANDLE THE BEING HELD HOSTAGE BY MY SEAT BELT, BUT NOW I HAVE TO PAY $1,800 TO GET MY STEERING FIX AFTER ALMOST HITTING A TREE WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR. I WAS JUST ABOUT TO UPGRADE TO A ESCAPE, I WILL NEVER BUY FORD AGAIN AFTER THIS BECAUSE I HAVE 89000 ON MY CAR THEY WILL HELP WITH NOTHING. NOR DO THEY CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF ME AND MY FAMILY OR THE OTHER PEOPLE AROUND ME ! I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED. I TRULY LOVED THIS LITTLE CAR UNTIL IT TRIED TO KILL ME.
