Depends completely on the vehicle and drivetrain you choose. Ford has some SERIOUS quality control issues on a lot of their vehicles/options.

3.8L V-6 head gasket problem, 5.4L was taking out crankshafts, 3.4L V-8 was blowing up left and right because of camshaft failures (so badly that a class action lawsuit has been filed), the A4LD and AOD automatic transmissions were spotty, the 4.6L plastic intake manifold issues, it goes on and on and on.

If you get the right vehicles i.e. 5.0L Mustang, you might not notice so many problems, but all it takes is a few high profile issues, and public opinion is formed.
