I took my 99 SVT in last week for two items. The first was a check engine light and the second was a coolant flush.
CE light was oxy sensor ($375) and the coolant $75.
Now the problems and irritations. I asked service writer to check out "moosing" noise if they had a chance to hear it. They also heard front end noise and wanted to check the bearings.
The bearing were bad and long story short another $380.
My biggest irritation was the $35 bill for checking out the moosing. They said they could not duplicate and that they did a review of TSB's and none match. (which is impossible because it happens constantly whenever a cold start, and it sat at dealer overnight.)
At 51K miles I am hit with a $875 invoice and it still mooses big time!!!!!
Is there a TSB for moosing/hooting and are the costs covered by Ford?? or am I on my own, in which case I will just live with it.
Thanks.
