Well like anyone you are overjoyed when you purches a car off the lot however mine has been a nightmare , I brought a vehcle for 5,000 from argent motors and I only brought the car because the salesman told me that the waterpump was damaged however 32 minutes after leaving this car lot my engine went on my truck so my engine blew in the middle of the new jersey turnpike , I had a newborn baby on the side of the road for over two hour once I waited for the tow truck I called the car lot and the owner basically told me he'll see me in court . They knew this truck wasnt driveable they knew it was unsafe when I put my children in and drove off

Vehicle suddenly and without any warning became incredibly difficult to bring to a stop. This occurred within 3 weeks of a dealer multi-point inspection/servicing. Brakes seized up and I would have to slam down on them to get the car to stop. Problem onset in a parking lot and I was unable to stop and actually struck a parking bumper. Apparently my brake booster required replacement. Unlike asserted in ford's 13n02 bulletin, this did affect ability to brake and onset without any warning. I believe this is a significant safety defect.

While driving with cruise control set, vehicle going up a hill there was a sudden loss of power. The engine died (zero RPM indicated.) a few seconds later, the "low engine oil pressure" warning was displayed. Loss of power steering/brakes. Vehicle was carefully maneuvered off the highway. Attempted to restart repeatedly. Engine would only run for a few seconds, then died. Had vehicle towed to the ford dealer. No engine trouble codes detected. After sitting overnight, vehicle started and ran without issue. This is a definite safety hazard when a vehicle stalls at high speed on the highway.
