Thanks for that background info. I had a 2004 mustang that worked great.
If they have issues now like you described, I may not get another one.
We had an ‘09 GT/CS. I LOVED that car. Had to trade it for an F150 when we moved to the mountains, these roads would have destroyed it. I wish I had it back.
I’ve driven only Fords for 25 years and I’ve never had any of these troubles. My ‘79 F250 Powerstroke still works great, I won’t give it up. I did have to have the front end rebuilt at about 125K, ball joints, tie rods, etc. Cost me a grand. That was the worst thing.
