I purchased this vehicle 10/7/99 and have been taking it in for service since 10/12/99 the dealership has not fixed any of the problems w/the car, in fact my car keeps getting worse. The roof its self leaks and while removing the headliner the dealership caused dents and creases in my roof. They still haven't repaired the dents or the leak. Also, the computer has been going out since day 1 causing a fire smell which the dealership said was the sparks hitting the catalitic converter and causing problems w/the transmission. The car spark knocks constantly, dies while driving, smells like its on fire and has a hard time shifting into gear. The dealership wants to "try to fix it " as they have tried for almost 2 years but any repairs they make will not be warrantied. That is unacceptable! I have contacted a local tv station, written a letter to ford, talked to the dealership owner, called ford customer service and filled out a ford survey. After all of that, no one has been in contact with me.
Many roofs on the dealership lot are separating.
On 6/22/2000, I purchased a new ford mustang gt from galpin motors (la, ca). Approximately six weeks later, I took the car in for an oil change at another ford dealership. While at this dealership, they showed me the undercarriage of the car. It was corroding at a progressive rate. The car was manufactured in december 1999. I immediately drove to galpin motors and was advised that they would not roll back or buy back the car. Their position is that the corrosion can be cleaned up by the use of steel wool. I am concerned that parts on the undercarriage of the car may cause a safety hazard as time continues. The dealership viewed the car and stated that it was simply surface rust. My contention is that the car should not be in this state 7 months after the date of manufacture. Obviously, I was not aware of this problem, and I would have never purchased this car if this problem had been disclosed to me. As a result of an arbitration process, the dealership has to replace the entire stainless steel exhaust system and undercoat the bottom of this vehicle. Unfortunately, I was told by the service manager that only eighty percent of the rust can be cleaned up. The car is currently at the dealership for repair. Thank you for your attention in this matter.
The frame cross member bolt is missing, the consumer now notices vehicle pulls to the right at unexpected stops.
Convertible top is poorly fit due to unattached wire. Yh
I have a little problem. There is a clunking noise coming from the drivetrain. It only happens at the begining of acceleration, if I let offthe gas and then reapply it; it clunks again. I thought that it might be excessive backlash in the rear, but they checked that and said it was up to spec. They (bob thomas ford of hamden ct) said that it was the rear crossmember to the transmission they tightened this up. This helped it a little but not completely. I'm thinking of going to another dealer .
