Well keep in mind, I haven't listed out the problems I've had with the car, just what needs attention currently. The list I feel isn't that important, just that I've had my fair share of problems. Nothing HUGE though or even worth mentioning, except for maybe that a tire shop (les schwab) improperly lifted my car which damaged the skirts, and then when another shop was repairing this the car partially fell off the lift and damaged quite a bit of stuff, primarily suspension components. They told me they replaced the parts with "better than stock" stuff, but later the Ford dealer said the replacements were basically crud, and luckily (!) replaced them with oem stuff under warranty.

None of this was Ford's fault or the car's, but nevertheless it leaves me with doubts, since I lack the knowledge/tools to take it apart myself and verify the quality of both repair jobs compared to stock.
