colonel26 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 (edited) Forbes named the MKS as one of their top ten clunkers to avoid. http://www.forbes.com/2009/11/11/clunker-c...s-clunkers.html http://www.forbes.com/2009/11/11/clunker-c...thisspeed=25000 I was looking at purchasing one mid 2010 too. Anyone had problems with theirs? Edited November 14, 2009 by colonel26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveTaurus Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 (edited) I also read it! I am questioning the credibility of the article. It seems bias! And F-250 is on the list too! Edited November 14, 2009 by LoveTaurus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2b2 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 for my computer, that site has more problems any car they list imho -- the "in depth" link doesn't even work -- don't actually see them say ANYTHING about the MKS, just mention it's name IF they really do list any problems, would someone please cut'n'paste the pertinent text?

biggee72 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 The car hasn't been on the road long enough to get an accurate report. Consumer reports is crap anyway but that's neither hear nor there. Typically people will only report on problems with the car and I haven't seen many on the road which leads me to believe that sales are weak on the MKS. Low sales + people who only report problems = false reliability readouts. We'll see in a couple of year especially since it's also the taurus there should be plenty to get the truth. And I'm not biased because I like ford..my car is at the dealer for the 4th time right now trying to get the same issue fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang2 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I don't get my investment strategies from AutoWeek and I'm certainly not going to follow Forbes on car ratings! I believe they published an article a few years ago on the Ford "500". Uh.....it's Fve Hundred...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96towncarcartier Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 It's ONLY on the list because it's pricier to repair...the whole point of the article is to point out cars that have higher repair costs, regardless of showing people how often the car needs the repairs. It's a new model, that is only shared with one other (Taurus) and it's all new, so of course parts and repair costs might be higher. But to call the list a "clunker" list is definitely biased and misleading. It suggests the car is a lemon, which it is NOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone had problems with theirs? Sunroof leaks and eventual failure, new headliners is $2,000 new Sunroof at least $3,000. For a car that booked over $50K new "AWD Ecoboost" this is unacceptable. The car runs great but the issues with the sunroof and water getting into the doors make it the top 10 pieces of garbage on the road IMO.
