I'm 63 years old and have had Fords and Lincolns for my entire adult life.....good cars each and every one of them....sounds to me like you either got a "lemon".....or a BAD MECHANIC.....if it's only a 2012 why doesn't it have any warranty left?...something odd here.....
@magnoliamam: I also have a 2012 POS Ford with all the bells & whistle, never again. When you commute for work you go thru the 36,000 mile/ 3 yr. warranty real quick... Sunday I went to the grocer came back to my car, put the key in & it wouldn't start, long story short - something in the computer, ignition got thrown off and it had to be reset! Thank Gawd it didn't break the bank, but just another thing in the list of garbage.  My brother bought his wife a Lincoln SUV MKZ (I think that's the letters) That was a lemon. Ford did replace it with the newer year model.  As my husband says fix or repair daily..............
