 I have had my ZX5 for less than 1 year 
and I have gone through 4 sets of 
brakes and 2 sets of rotors and drums. 
I have had it in for repairs more 
than I have actually had the vehicle in 
my possession. It has been in to have 
the brakes fixed 5 times, and they 
still have not found what the problem 
is. Now, on top of that, the 
transmission is starting to slip gears 
and shift extremely hard (it is an 
automatic, there just isn't an option 
for that in the choices). Now they are 
telling me that they have to completely 
rebuild my transmission. I would not 
recommend this car to anyone due to the 
poor quality and that Ford refuses to 
make any needed repairs.
