Would be interesting to see how this poll broke out by length of ownership/miles.
My honeymoon lasted until around 30,000 miles or so. Before that I had some issues with trim, the mirror clicking issue, corroded running boards, and some other minor issues. Then the cam phasers came along... and the dealer issues started. Now I'm dealing with a cracked valve cover and literally on the way to the dealer for that issue I had a hard shift from 3 - 4, hopefully that was just a glitch.
I was really happy with the expy for the first couple of years. Great functionality and value for what I needed. And during covid it was great to see Ford stepping up to make ventilators. Then after time the reality of the brand starts to show, particularly longevity and dealer "independence." YMMV
