Hey guys, I'm posting this here b/c you guys probably have more recent dealings with FoMoCo.
In March I purchased a '03 v6 Mustang from a used lot (chevy dealership).
I ran a Carfax, and it checked out. I had the car checked out and the only problem was the power steering pump, which ford replaced without any questions asked.
Now I'm having real problems with the car. When the car is warm, the speedo and tach will fluctuate and the car will sometimes die at stops. This is a real safety concern to me. I could easily be rearended at a light if my car dies or be t-boned if im crossing traffic slowly. I have no modifications.
The car has been in 3 times now, twice to my local dealership and once to a dealership in Indiana while on vacation. They have replaced the IAC, the alternator (don't ask, I don't get it either) and the vehicle speed sensor. It goes back tomorrow for it's 4th attempt.
Becuase I did not purchase this car from Ford, they do not supply a loaner vehicle. We only have 2 vehicles between my wife and myself and can't afford a third vehicle/months of rental car fees.
They can't seem to figure out what is wrong, so I"m trying to figure out what my rights are and what steps I should take.
I had planned to purchase a Mustang GT next year, but I can't find a decent dealership that can help me.
