We live where winter temperatures are often -20C. and the heater does not provide any or very little heat to our feet and legs from the knees down.The dealer thought maybe it was the door seal leaking so he changed both seals on drivers door. No change. The service manager then told me he had other similar complaints and thinks it is a design problem and has no fixes. He reported it to Ford but I have never had a response from him or Ford.
The process to change out the battery on this vehicle precludes an owner from doing it. Best case you do not break the windshield while doing it. it should be considered a repair because the entire Windshield wiper facia and wipers need to be removed as does the air filter box to clear the battery.
