Default Quality is Job 1?

I'm a little agitated with FOMOCO right now over the "quality" of my Mustang. I'm going to list all the problems I've had with my stang since I bought it 10 months ago:
[list=1][*]Synchronizer goes out in third[*]Oxygen sensor harness wiring replaced because when installed some genius pinches the wiring between back tranny mount and crossmember[*]Check engine light comes on and stays on at 5000 miles[*]Engine replaced at 11000 miles because of two chips in back left part of block where left side head bolts up.[*]Check engine light still on[*]Drivers side window will not roll up on hot days, have to wait until nightfall before it will roll up.[*]Frame seperates above rear end housing...told car is extremely dangerous to drive.[/list=1]

I am told by my dealer that there is a rumor that there have been a couple of other Mustangs with the same frame problem as mine and FOMOCO has replaced the vehicles and then preceded to crush the problem cars. I have also been told that my car will also be replaced and I am awaitng for Ford to get in touch with me. I am considering speaking with a lawyer to see if Ford is liable for more than a replacement. I have invested almost a $1000.00 in my car and will need my mods transfered or reimbursed for the money spent. I also figured that if you can sue Micky D's because your stupid *** spilled coffee on yourself maybe I can get a free car out of this.
I told my service rep that if I wanted a piece of **** I would have bought a Chevrolet.
I'm pissed because I love my car and they've got me driving a ******* Focus for the last two weeks.
Oh well...has anybody else heard anything on a problem with the frames on 2001 Mustangs? I'm trying to build a case.
