98 SE: 2.5 V6 ATX. 33,900 miles. Bought vehicle at appx. 24K miles.
Under warranty:
24K - Mar/Apr '01 - fuel pump and related problems (due to the dealer)
28K (appx) - June '01 - muffler went
33K (out of warranty but "covered" since two days earlier I had tie rods replaced; either dealer's fault or dealer was feeling sorry for me) - Mar '02 - brake rotors
Not covered:
33K - Mar '02 - tie rods - $222
All I can think of for now, there might have been more. Between my dad's Windstar and my Tour we practically drop one off at the dealer every three weeks. Dad's front end fell last weekend so I've got another month till something else goes wrong with my car. (crossing fingers)
