What owners of this build wrote

Seat Belts Sep 2023
There is an open recall from Ford for almost 2 months and they dont have the remedy to close the recall. I dont feel secure to drive the car and the manufacturer to fix the identified problem on priority basis
Visibility/wiper Mar 2023
Windshield wipers slow down when driving in rain/snow. Even on the highest setting, they start to slow down after a few minutes and you have to toggle them off and on again to get them back to normal speed
Electrical System Mar 2023
The screen on the radio freezes/glitches at random times. Navigation no longer updates despite still, providing audio prompts. Requires the vehicle to be parked and turned off to fix it each time. Creates major issue when navigating unfamiliar areas and suddenly needing to pull…
Power Train Jan 2023
The driveshaft and front axles are completely covered in pitted rust when delivered. Long-term strength and safety of vehicle drive train at risk
