I am about to write about a book of the many times i took the car to the dealership for many different things like:

Like the first time I didnt notice but when i received the car they forgot to give me the floormats that suppously came with it, the car didnt have the little STICK that holds the hood, the headliner was kinda of lose because of the moonroof wich was recently installled, and i think the last thing was the hood wich wasnt aligned with the sides of the car.,
After taken the car for this reasons to the dealership i had to drive a loaner car for a whole month after two weeks of having my red ZTS

then the following times i took it because of 4 or 5 recalls, the suspension was like 5 different times, the mirrors, the brakes, oil change, the power windows, some noise of the doors, etc etc etc

finally i think my car doesnt have any problems but a recent one and current too is this one wich my car is been replaced my painted mirror cuz the one they replaced wasnt adjusted perfectly well, my suspension start making noises and i call Ford Motor Co and they call my dealership to know whats going on; now thats getting fixed, getting replace the front struts (the noise they said comes from there) and getting lubricated the power windows

I have stimated that my car is been in the dealership like 2 or 3 months ever since i got it back on July 2000.

I still love my foci wich is going again to get detailed on the 23rd of this month (again with a loaner) and hopefully if I feel like make some modifications wont be trade for a new red SVT

what do you guys think?
