I agree. There's a reason why Toyota will soon be the world's biggest car maker. Manufacturers can't keep treating their loyal customers like the enemy. There are many choices out there.RED92VERT said:You think ford would have learned thier lesson.
bigcat said:if that was the case, why can we get new fenders and doors without a problem. they put a replacment tag on the parts to show they were replaced with factory parts, not stolen parts.
do you have documention of this? they have to have the VIN on all the body panels as well. but when you replace the part, they cant put the VIN back on the part, or remove/coverup the RDOT sticker. this IS against federal law, i work an cars all day long and there is a hefty punishment if you are found to tamper with these tags.Big-Foot said:Federal law does not require that the VIN be stamped indelibly in the removable body components. It does require it to be on the major driveline assemblies such as Engine Block - Transmission Housing - Differential housing.
yea if you stop making the payments on the car and stick to that then the bank will repo the car and sell it at auction and you will have a repo on your credit and then you will be do for what the car does not sell for.speedytang said:Don't Dump the car that is what Fords wants so that the customer takes the hit for a design mistake from them. Lemon Laws have changed again in most states that make it easier for you to go against the manufacture. Your Bank that carries the loan is another way to go. You stop paying because of a problem with the vehicle that they own the banks tries to go to bat for you or they are stuck with the crap you left them to turn.

davisinla said:Man, for someone (like me) who is in here researching the purchase of a new Mustang, this is a scary thread. Is this a unique (or rare) problem, or a known issue with the new Mustangs?
One of my concerns about buying a Ford is that, except for my '87 Mustang, I've owned nothing but Japanese cars since the 80s - and, believe it or not, can't remember ever having one problem!
Thoughts?
That's a relief.thump_rrr said:This is a rare occurence. Ford has built over 1,000,000 3V 4.6 engines already.

But the other side of having a problem is the way one is treated by the dealer and manufacturer. Way back when my '87 Mustang was closer to new, I was NOT impressed with the dealer's service dept.
