Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General Message to all SVT owners

In 99' I bought a new V-6, 5-speed SE because I couldn't afford the SVT. Less than a year later I found a 99' SVT at a good price and bought it. I had "squeaks and rattle" issues with the SE but nothing like the SVT. I have spent many weekend hours trying to hunt down these problems. This has truly been a love and hate car. It's been in the shop three times in the last six months (Cats died-Ford replaced, Mass air flow sensor and idle controller on me). Bumper sag was "fixed" by dealer but it's back. My brother bought a new F-150 with so many problems they finally gave him another one! Hope Ford Jr. makes some changes. I bought a new convertible last summer and didn't even consider a Mustang. What the heck happened to "Quality is Job One"? My next sport sedan will be from Germany. I'll pay more for quality.
