96 SE v6 MTX bought May 03 w/ 63,000 miles it now has 70,000
so far... in this short interval of time:
--May, waterpump (Ford payed)
--end of may another waterpump (incorrect installastion) and all radiator hoses, which slipped off on the way home from ford and left me stranded on the side of the road.

(Ford payed)
--Oil Pan Gasket (100 deductible)
--Radiator resevior (100 deductible
--Ford had to replace one cylinder head and all gaskets (100 deductible)
--MAF tube (100 deductible)
--both axles (100 deductible)
--wheel bearings both sides (431$) oh and they had to fix Fords screw up... they used the wrong bolts for the axles and crossthreaded the incorrect bolts. Can they do anything right?

Finally my car is running smoothly. Always buy a warranty! Unless you are buying that 4cl camry someone was talking about. Ford has spent more money keeping my car on the road than I payed for it! My car handles superbly and looks great...how long will this last? Who knows.
