Thanks, Bitter, my pleasure. The trick now is to see how well they fix it. He said he had to order some parts so I'm certainly hoping they're Ford parts (I imagine they will be). I am hoping that my car will be like new. Love the car!
Next project is to remove and replace the racing stripes (factory PP grey hood to trunk) that are peeling. I am thinking of replacing them with matte black, and the car is black so that should look sharp. I'm not all that crazy about the grey/silver ones that came from the factory.
Anyway it's always good when someone steps up to the plate and tries to help, right?
I'll update the thread when I get the car back next week. Have a great weekend and thanks for your help.

Interesting that your '07 PP has 18" rims......mine is an '07 PP also but I have 17" rims. Could be that the previous owner bought bigger rims. I bought mine brand new so I know they originally came with 17" rims.
Let us know how everything turns out.

I was also curious about that. My '06 Pony Package came with 17" rims as well.

I'll have what YOU'RE smokin'...
And if you CAN get the dealership to cover it on your ESP, then have them also replace the tires, brakes, wiper blades, battery, light bulbs and any other "normal wear" item that you can think of. I'll be on my knees bowing since no dealer in their right mind would replace suspension components for free at 60k miles unless it was related to an obvious defect.

That is the whole reason behind a ESP is to give you an extended service protection in the off-chance that something does occur after so many miles.Spoke to dealership. ESP that I purchased lists suspension, including struts and shocks as covered under my (Premium, most expensive) plan. The other stuff is ok, i.e. wipers, brakes, battery, lights, etc. They are bending over backwards to make this right, I really respect them for this, since it is an older car and had had one accident (known to me when I bought it). This is partially my fault for not having had it inspected by a 3rd party before delivery, but also it may be up to them to rectify since it had to pass a safety and certification check in order to be registered with the Ontario ministry. I'll let you know.
I figured they would have checked the car out though before letting it pass safety tests, but what better way to get money out of someone than to put a lemon on the lot and resale it knowing it had/has problems that haven't been fixed. The place I got mine from actually went under about a month or so after me and my husband signed the papers and started paying it off. They were keeping payments for vehicles and storing it in their personal bank accounts. I'm just lucky I wasn't one of the people who had their car taken back by the bank(s). Anyways, let us know how things go and if they got fixed. n_n You are welcome for the help. That's what we're all here for is to help each other out when we can.
