They told me the rattle was just a heat shield so no big deal. they did reduce the cost for the exhaust. i paid $5000 out the door. 2 months latter the Transmission failed. they said since the car was so new they gave me a discount. A ford rebuilt (with 3 year warranted) installed for $2800. Within a week the check engine light came on. I tried to take it in but they said its because they put in a new Trans and it will go off. A month latter it started to surge. I took it in and they told me it was the O2 sensors. Ok i pay out $400. 2 days latter the check engine light comes on.

This time they say its the wire to the MAF and they fix it (after 2 weeks). we just pick it up (btw this is around 12/13/20011) we get home and drive to rockford for my daughters gymnastics and it comes on YET AGAIN! i take it in and they call me saying its the o2 sensor then he changed it really fast saying its running lean so its a hole in the exhuast or the spark plugs! When i purchased the car i knew the hole in the exhaust and it never gave a code. I suspect them screwing up with the fuel injectors messed up the spark plugs. I think the company KNEW it had a faulty tr
