 It was a great thought... buy a minivan the could be used for work and hauling the grand kids around. I put many miles on my car and depend on its reliability as my job requires me to be on the road and available at all times in all weather. On the other hand I like to get my kids and grand kids out on road trips in the summer. So this seamed like the perfect choice especially when the original published numbers showed 30 mpg (corrected since) and sales guy said "yep 30mpg".For this review I will leave out the absolute Honorable service from the dealer as most customers who shop in my area know how bad they(Sim Roc) are. I will just focus on the vehicle issues. Noticeable issues are heavy road noise (third set of tires..its still there), front tire wear that even the dealer cant figure out, belt  tension pulley that fell off at 60 thousand miles, all headlights have required replacement (died). This includes all those little marker lights. Head lights have flickered since new.. even after bulb changes...  Less noticeable Items are doors that don't latch (recalled) child locks that don't work (not recalled).. Drivers seat has a side high lip that is not noticeable until the center of the seat wears in ..then you have to step over it to get out (painful on left thigh after a few times).. outside trim around windows falling off.. Transmission seem to miss a gear on occasion (concerning)  so ..normally i would just trade it in and move on ..but i recently became aware this the trad-in value is hilariously low... guess I keep it as a reminder of what Ford is currently selling..... Not a reliable Van
