Is the dealer giving you a loaner car? If so, what is it? Should ask for a GT40.

Dealer gave me a '05 Explorer until the stang is fixed. Kinda nice because we have had some snow lately. The stang does fine in the snow, traction control works pretty well, but I usually just leave it home when it does snow.

Mine did something similar the 2nd day I had it, turn the key and nothing happend. The dealer had it for two days and said it was a bad clutch interlock sensor. The pic I use as my avitar is from that day
Good luck...

Good Luck Justin. Many of us will be interested to see how it works out with the new computer - and also how Ford handles your situation. If it does turn out to be a lemon - be sure that you totally document everything that happens so that if you have to pursue a buy back you are covered for the history of your problem. I certainly hope it never comes to that. You may want to investigate your state's lemon laws just to familiarize yourself with the requirements and remedies.

Well, got the Stang back today. They replaced the entire computer. When the service technician handed me the keys and started to walk away, I was like...whooaa there bud. What was wrong with the car?!

So, they don't know much. They know that it hasn't stalled since the new computer is in it. I guess we shall see. I checked into the Colorado lemon law. If it goes back 2 more times for the same problem, then I can sue for a refund of the purchase price plus tax and title.

What does this do to the resale value of the car? Has it depreciated because of the defects found so far?

I don't think so if the problem goes away. Usually every car needs some attention when it comes from the factory in some form or another.
