I figure if they say they can't duplicate it I will bug the hell out of them and take it in every other morning and say...hey man it happened again last night, until they give up and fix it.

Well after 3 days of being jerked around by dealership about if they could not make the car reproduce the problem business, they could not replace the fuel pump. I basically told them that I would call Ford Customer Service to notify them of my concern with it being a safety issue so that if there were something to happen involving this TSB 06-9-9 that somebody knew that I at least tried to get the problem taken care of and that I wanted a record that Ford would not take care of problem, I get the call this morning that they have ordered new fuel pump and they expect it in Monday morning and I should be ready to roll that same day. One weird thing is that yesterday some guy from the dealership had called me that I had not talked to before letting me know he had seen the information that I had emailed concerning the TSB before I ever brought my car in and proceeded to tell me that he found all the information I had provided relevant to the TSB. I then told him about the feedback I had been getting from Service in regards to them not being able to reproduce the problem so they could not replace fuel pump and he said I dont think they reallize the situation I will call immediatly to service. Well yesterday evening the service writer did not seem to care that this other guy might have influenced their decision not to replace fuel pump one way or the other. The Service Dept. called me 1st thing this morning and said after discussing issue with engineer and some others that they decided to replace. So whatever the reason it will be taken care of.

Good thing I recently had the negative battery cable disconnected when I installed the homelink mirror with compass and temp reading. Easy to play dumb if they check for computer history.

Picked mine up today after having TSB 6-9-9 taken care of. Car actually seems to be running much smoother than before I had done. Who ever test drove my car lost my cap to the cigarette light on the dash, so thay are sending me a new one. I guess it could have been worse I could have found a ding or something like that.

I probably would have lost it had it been me. I think my problem is that I expect them to screw something up.

Had my pump replaced on Friday. Apparently they data logged a test drive and came up with a pressuer drop. They also said this fixed the gas guage problem, but i doubt that. It's easier to reproduce the gas guage issue than the hesitation, so I was glad that got fixed if nothing else. I don't know if they went in through the back seat or not.
