LOL!! Yeah that was my car you saw Blackfoot. Thing is, they are not covering the clutch!!!! Let's just say we are not seeing eye to eye on that one. They say the clutch is a wear item, only convered for 1 year. Funny thing is, I have a screwed up Tranny, which probably took out the clutch. I didn't even think I had a clutch problem, worked fine when I drove it in. My tranny issue was a 5th gear synchro, would grind from any gear going into 5th.

I reported it 8mos. agoto another dealer who told me it was not a problem, i wasn't driving the car properly that I should only shift from 4th to 5th as that is how a transmission is designed.......now 8mos later (now out of warranty for the clutch) apparently the whole tranny has be replaced.

Hey Blackfoot,

Got a call late this afternoon when i was supposed to go and pick up the car. It won't be ready for another week. I was supposed to take it on vacation for the next 2 weeks [:@]

What they said was they replaced the tranny, blutch, flywheel, release bearing and it is still grinding.......so they are going to replace the Clutch???? again

Whatever, just give me my freakin' car back!!!

Did you get that sway bar on? or do any cuttin'?

I had the same problem with the door handle on the driver's side of a 2005 V6 Coupe. Took it in to the dealer and it was covered under the warranty. They ordered a new handle that was prepainted. It was a perfect match. I couldn't tell they had even changed it.

Okay, thanks. What do I tell them on the phone, just that occasionally it stutters. Oh also, my passenger side door handle doesn't close all of the way, i think it's a spring or something, that should be covered too, right?
Wondering if theres anything out on that door handle. I was talking to my dads friend, a mechanic about the problem I've been having. He actually works at ford.. didnt say anything about it being a regular thing, never know though.

If it is I'd love to make ford do it under warrantee instead of having him or myself take half the door apart

Mines on the driver side btw.. and we tried oiling it. Did a ton of good..
