Overall, they are good vehicles. Ford on the other hand won't stand behind them when you do have an issue.

2008 EL Limited with 26,xxx when I traded in. Went in for Warranty work for: Trans shift/banging, Siezed/Failed pulley, Electric seat failure, window failure (both rears), RUSTED OUT ROOF, Bubbled Emblem x2 times, warped brake rotors, the color on leather for drivers seat bled out

Wife and I loved our Expy. Warranty refused to cover the paint, the brakes and the leather. We cut our losses and moved on. I doubt I'll ever buy another new Ford again. I leased the 2012 Flex for the wife. Maybe I'll feel different in 2015 when the lease is up
