I don't even know where to begin. Every problem you could imagine with this car only ay 69k miles after Fords pathetic powertrian warranty expires. I bought this car at 66k miles spent 20 grand after tax and only made one payment besides the down payment. First off the ptu failed on this vehicle failed after 2k miles witch is a really common problem on this vehicle witch was a $900 part though Ford. Had this replaced and not only 7 days later and barely 1k miles the transmission failed causing the motor to overheat damaging the motor. . Now I have a $400+ payment on a vehicle that needs over $9000 in repairs between the motor and transmission and the dealer wont fix it because I didnt buy and extended warranty and its out of the factory 60k warranty. Note this is a 2016 (performance sedan) (sho) and this has been the most unreliable car I have ever bought. I would like to note I always buy Ford and have had issues here and there but nothing like this between break downs I didn't even get to drive the car 30 days and now own 6 years worth of payments. . . Thks car has literally broke me and Ford won't do anything to make it right there was clearly some sort of manufacture defect with this car and it should be recalled I would never recommend buy this car without a serious warranty because I know some people that have had better luck with this car in earlier models with the same drivetrain but mine can't be the only 16 sho that have had these problems and im sure other people have been left in hardship on now not having a car and have 20k in auto loan debt. All this happened under normal driving conditions. This car was built to be able to use on the track and completely failed under normal driving conditions. Very very disappointed and hope Ford will recall this major issue in there "performance vehicles".
