Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE SINCE WE BOUGHT IT FROM TEAM FORD IN JUNE. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES FOR TWO DAYS PER INCIDENT AND THE SAME PROBLEMS CONTINUE WHILE THEY GRADUALLY DISCOVER MORE PROBLEMS EACH TIME. A CAR WITH 5200 MILES ON IT SHOULD NOT NEED THE VARIED AND UNIQUE COMBINATION OF REPLACEMENTS OUR CAR HAS REQUIRED. THE CAR MAKES A ROTATIONAL GRINDING NOISE WHILE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS OR TAKING AN INVOLVED TURN THE CAR MAKES A POP/CRACK NOISE FROM LEFT/FRONT OF CAR. THE CAR HAS STALLED THREE TIMES DURING FREEWAY AND CITY DRIVING. THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW CREAKS AND SHUDDERS WHEN BEING PUT UP OR DOWN. THE CAR HESITATES WHEN STARTED IN 80 DEGREE WEATHER AND COMES CLOSE TO STALLING WHEN INITIALLY PUTTING INTO GEAR. NOW AND THEN CAR MAKES LUNGING MOTION AND NOISE WHEN PUT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. I COULD GO ON AND ON...I AM REPORTING DEFECTS AND PROBLEMS TO BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND THE NEVADA ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE. PLEASE HELP!
