 I have had nothing but problems with this vehicle.  Power steering going out, told the rack 'n pinion need to be replaced.  Brakes are a major problem with this vehicle.. had them replaced twice so far, along with rotos, only 80,000 miles.  First set of brakes under 15k miles.  Now, my fuel pump went out.. only had this car 3 years! Ford will not stand up to their product!  Grinding and cracking noises in steering.
