The chrome trim around the center console where cup holders, gearbox are located has peeled. When driving and going to pickup something off the console, the chrome that is peeling is very sharp and has cut myself and my husband. This is a known issue with people with the same vehicle. It’s distracting while driving as you get a shock and do not expect that which can cause a motor vehicle accident. It also poses a danger for people that have a fear of the sight of blood while driving too.

Front passenger door latch is inoperable from inside in cold weather (below freezing) preventing egress of front passenger without a seperate person opening door from outside vehicle.

Driver's door latch inoperable when in freezing weather, potentially blocking egress in emergency situation. Ford has issued a service bulletin to address this safety concern and engineering (and testing!) flaw, yet will not cover safety concern because car is out of warranty.

Muffler and exhaust pipes have gotten rusted. I only have 37k miles on it. Is this a defect from manufacturer? I have many other cars but not rust over 100k miles.

While driving down the highway I heard a pop in my vehicle and realized my sunroof had burst. Glass separated and flew into my car and cut myself and my 4 small children. No warning lights were on in my vehicle at this time. When brought to the dealership for repair, the repair shop reported that this will happen with these vehicles and to pursue reimbursement with Ford. Unfortunately, Ford reports that vehicle is not under warranty and the repairs won’t be covered.

WE ARE ONLY DOING PICKUP ORDERS AS WE HAVE HAD COVID. WE PARK OUR VEHICLE AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND OPEN THE LIFT GATE WHILE WAITING FOR THE DELIVERY TO BE PLACED IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. ONCE DELIVERY IS COMPLETE, LIFT GATE WILL ONLY CLOSE A FEW INCHES AND THE HORN BEEPS TWICE. THIS HAPPENS OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL WE GET OUT AND CLOSE THE LIFT GATE MANUALLY. OUR LOCAL DEALER WE JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM HAS TRIED TO FIX THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER, FORD HAS ADVISED US THAT THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE EITHER KEPT RUNNING, OR TURNED ON TO CLOSE THE LIFT GATE. AFTER TRYING THIS PROCESS, OUR SONS IN THE 3RD ROW HAVE BEEN GETTING NAUSEOUS FROM THE FUMES. FORD ALSO STATES IN THE USER MANUAL THAT THE LIFT GATE SHOULD BE FULLY CLOSED TO PREVENT FUMES FROM ENTERING THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE VIDEOS OF THE LIFT GATE STOPPING AND HORN BEEPING THAT WE CAN NOT SEND BUT ARE AVAILABLE IF WE ARE CONTACTED.
