Like any product there are going to be defective units. This is usually due to work performed at the factory. As it has been stated here before, people only come to this form to complain about unsatisfactory performance. Very few come on here with good things to say. I for one am completely satisfied with my Ex. Yes there are some minor issues, however, this is a new design vehicle. One of which I think, is performing extremely well. If your not satisfied with a certain aspect of the vehicle, then get in touch with FORD directly yourself. They WILL call you back. They are very interested on what is happening with this vehicle. Hence, CORI and SENI on this forum. I had a problem, I called FORD and they called me back. They called my dealer and straightened out the problems. Gasket around the windshield and SYNC problems. I won't be paying for upgrades to fix glitches in the system. It is under warranty. If it is not working properly then they have to fix it. It is the law and part of the warranty.
Cheers.
