While driving, the front right passenger window suddenly shattered. There was no damage to the glass prior to the incident, and no projectiles in the car to indicate anything hitting the window. There was no external damage to the car to indicate a projectile, and nothing mixed in with the glass or on the road where the incident occurred. Luckily, this happened before I had picked up my fiance, but had she been in the car she would have been hit with the shards of glass, as it all shattered into the vehicle. We called the dealership we received the car from, as well as a mechanic to come repair the broken window. While fixing the window, he pointed out to us that the seals on our windows had

My vehicles service engine light has been on for over a year now. I have contacted the service department and Ford Dealership. I was told that it was covered under Ford and I would not be charged. I have called the Ford Customer Service Department about my vehicle, but nothing seems to be correct. I am making a car payment, but I am not getting service down on my vehicle especially when it's not my fault, I have these issues. I thought better of Ford. Every time I get gas in my vehicle it will not start, it's so frustrating and embarring I still have a warranty on my Ford, I am completely disgusted I literally sit there and repeat 3 times, and it finally starts, I have done everything it say
