BUMMER!
Mstng93SSP ahhhh dude..that just breaks my heart.... It seems that the Stangs are sorta up there with the (don't flame me) Jeeps. You either get one you love..or you get one you hate. It is hard to figure out why some have more problems than others. You can usually chaulk it up to the production line and tooling issues.
This was a great concern of mine when I heard that Ford was ceasing production of the Stang in the Deerborn, MI plant and moving prodution to the Flatrock Plant. Well, to say the least..That is a Mazda plant. My father was a machinist and I could not comprehend in my mind how you can have a production line set up for the proper tooling and assembly of a rotary engine and a standard modulated engine into a final solid product. So, I chose to get an '03 before they really ****#@ things up.
I am sorry to hear of your issues with your car. I felt a great deal of trepidition when I encountered a low oil reading after the engine valves and seals had seated in my car. I could not imagine the nightmare you have gone through man! I bought my car right off the truck, paper was being peeled off and after my test drive the engine had 7 miles on it. It is the first engine I have had the opportunity to break in and seat properly. I did not have to worry about someone mistreating it or driving it like a freak before the "break in" period. My heart goes out to you...
Take care and let us know how things go.
