I swear my car is a ****ing piece of ****! I had to have the differential repaired cause it just started leaking about 2 months ago, them my drivers side power window motor is going out, passenger side header just "mysteriously" broke off! now today I hear a really LOUD grinding noise coming from the rear, I pull over and the entire undercaraige is covered in diff fluid and it's leaking....AGAIN!! AND...it does this to me WHILE I'm driving across the ****ing state for a business meeting!! So my car is sitting in a Marriot parking lot in ANOTHER ****ING CITY 100 miles away!! The car is a ****ing 02, its 2 years old!!!! Did I get a lemon or WTF?!?!?!

lemon!!!!!! the only thing i have had wrong w/ my car is the IAC, but i expected that. My previous GT was a 97 w/ 114K miles on it and i never had a single problem with that car. the only thing that i ever had to do to that car, besides mods, was replace the tires and change the oil.

I have a 2002 GT and the only problems I've had is a fog light housing that leaks and blows bulbs. Other than that, it's been trouble free for 67k+.

It sounds like you have a lemon dude. My car is a 2000 and has 51,000 miles on it. Only two minor things have gone wrong with it since I bought it in Feb. of 2000. A few months after I bought it the starter went out (it was faulty). Ford replaced it for free because it was under warranty. The second thing was my IAC valve went bad at about 37,000 miles but that is a common problem with the 4.6 liter engine for some reason. Other than that, she runs perfect...no problems!

There are laws against a lemon car. You should look into them i think they are called the lemon laws.

The front end squeaks and creaks
A/C vents occasionally rattle
Exhaust is too quiet

Other than that, no problems with mine.
