Got Ford problems?
When it comes to Ford, problems are always cropping up. The iconic American carmaker is almost always at the bottom of the list at Consumer Reports and J.D. Power, with a few rare exceptions such as the 2013 Ford Mustang and the 2009 Ford Ranger.
Consumer Reports notes, “Reliability has been erratic … the brand as a whole ranks midpack for reliability, but there is a broad spectrum of performance.” In 2017, Consumer Reports listed the Focus as the sixth least-reliable car and the Fiesta as the seventh least-reliable car.
The MyFord Touch infotainment system was notoriously problematic, and Ford has now replaced it with the Sync 3 system.
At JustAnswer, Experts who are verified Ford specialists answer hundreds of questions every day. Ford problems such as rough idling, faulty temperature controls, malfunctioning turn signals and more. Ford hybrid vehicles
