Have just about had it with this car....thinking its time to sell.

There just seems to be issue after ISSUE with this car all relating back to my car being in for service for 21 days, you can read ALLLL about my transmission issues here:

https://themustangsource.com/f804/95...ission-501976/

Today while I was installing my catless x pipe I noticed that the K-Memeber had NO nuts on the bolts, just free floating bolts. I found ONE bolt stuck in the splash guard, the other 3 where gone. The only one that is on the car is the one I found in the splash guard and its only on finger tight...




I also found out BOTH seat releases on the back are broken and dont work

I just dont know where to turn or what to do, what's the next move?

I was frustrated enough that I left the where is sat, and told ford to have it towed, on there dime. I have the nuts to put on, but if they left them out who knows what else.

Any clue what to say in the morning to them?

Maybe I will sell it and order a '13? haha

Take this straight to Deysha. Ford corporate needs to know about this. This is clearly the dealer's issue. The paint scratches indicate the nuts were there. All bolts are torqued at the factory, and every bolt torque is recorded. There is no way this could be a factory issue. Get the car to another dealer stat.

Oh, it was towed to a dealer this afternoon....the 2nd time in a month and the 4th weekend I have not been able to drive the car. I understand its not a factory issue, but the car has so many rattles and clunks now that I dont think they can bring this car back to what it was a month ago. I will call ford in the morning, I will see what route they want to take....

Man, Trev, you just can't BUY a break right now, huh? Well, things have to start getting better soon, right?
