Faults:

Anti-theft malfunctioned and would not read coded keys (car wouldn't start), and Driver's window motor (at 20,000+/-miles).

Front brake rotors, Blower motor for interior fan, Interior water leak from passenger side cowl area, and, the Long block (engine) was replaced because "it was not properly cleaned of metal shavings when manufactured" (all at 35,400 miles).

General Comments:

All issues were covered promptly and courteously at the dealer. I was given a loaner car (new Sable) each time.

It is only because of the dealer I might purchase another Ford product. It will depend on what happens over the next 100,000 miles or so.

Thank goodness I bought the extended warranty.

Faults:

So far, I've had nothing go wrong with the car, even after buying it used from a rental fleet, the car has performed flawlessly. Everything works as intended. There are no rattles, squeaks, the car is really solid still.

General Comments:

I have the base engine, it has plenty or power, and gets excellent gas mileage. The car rides smoothly, but does well on curves, I didn't expect such a quality design from Ford. The only thing I can find that is less than perfect, is the small trunk opening.
