i have a s.e. mtx not a svt. i baught the car with 29,000 miles last december and now i have 53,000. i changed the alternator 2 times due to a bad battery on the second time. a bolt went int he tranny and the shifter would work 1,500 to chage the gear changign mechanism on the top of the tranny. then there was the d.p.f.e. sensor. thats about it so far.
