I purchased Ford vehicle in the past and I had to deal with safety recalls, 7 of them. My transmission failed at 35k miles; the engine blew up at 140k miles. I had the vehicle in the dealership every other months for repairs. Wasted so much time at the dealership. Here are the other problems that I had to deal with: brakes, tires, steering pump failed, windshield motor failed, window motor failed, AC failed, headlights failed, power seats failed, transmission noise and eventually failed, oil leaks, check engine light comes on and goes off all the time, hood missed alignment, doors missed alignment, door locks stopped working. This is all during the first 2 years of ownership. I no longer own a Ford and none of my friends and family own a Ford. I purchased the Japanese vehicles and they have only need to see the dealership once for the first maintenance service. They all have over 150k miles and running like a new car. Ford need to focus on quality, customer service, and keep up with innovative designs. Ford vehicles are 5 years behind the competitors.
