I have a 2006 and have already spent well over $1000 on repairs. All of which happened just outside of my warranty- go figure. The brakes are horrible. The A/C is out already and I had to replace the engine mount last year. I think this vehicle is a lemon and I can't wait to get rid of it.
Yes Kelly, as a mother of two small children I make sure and take off at green lights as fast as humanly possible and I burn rubber on my tires all the time! Seriously- do you work for Ford? Why are you defending them? You should NOT have to replace an egine mount on a 2006 vehicle. Brake pads should be changed, I agree but from what I have read many others are having more serious brake problems than that.
LeAnne, let me explain. There are 75k miles on the vehicle. I bought it with high miles in a cruch and with bad credit. I didn't have much options at the time. The a/c has a leak and the leak appears to be in the compressor, which is way expensive to repair. The brakes aren't so bad compared to the jumping when you move from park to reverse or park to drive. The motor mount costs me a little over $600 at the Ford Dealership. I have already paid $200 plus in A/C repairs. So I stand corrected, I have paid closer to $800 or $900 on repairs- not maintenance. I take very good care of this car, I get the oil changed ever 3000 miles and I do not drive it hard as suggested by another user. Bottom line, I expected a lot more out of this vehicle and I am very dissapointed.

I have a 1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer and I need to replace the headliner. The original backer board is beyond repair and cannot be used or traced and I have had NO luck finding them at junk yards. I also haven't been able to find a restorer in my area who does this kind of work. Does anyone know how I can make a headliner backer-board from scratch, or have any ideas here? I am fairly crafty with tools, I have help and am willing to spend the money. Any advice or Information would be a huge help. Thanks!!!

I got in a bad car accident. My 99 Dodge Grand Caravan sport was totalled. (it was hit in the back passenger area I was pusheed so my front hit a pole) It has alot of damage. 3 windows blew out the front wondshield cracked. I dont know if this info is releveant b/c I am not sure if it goes by the condition of the vehicle or weight. I am just wondering how much will the Tow place take off of the bill if I sign the car over to them? I just want a ball park amount so I know if they are paying to low. Thank you. I will choose the best
So do u think I should take it to a junk yard (AAA will tow it for free) or do u think i should let the tow lot take $ off my bill? Meaning which one will give more? Thanks again all

Saw this in an ad from a new car dealership…..

We will pay a minimum of $3000* for your trade… push it, pull it, tow it… we want it!

Hello, one of my friends called a junk car shop that posted an advertisement for junk cars. He claimed to own a vehicle that he did not own that was parked by someone on a street with a for sale sign on it. The junk car shop said it didn't need the title or keys (which he didn't have since the car isnt his) so they came and towed the car away thinkin it was my friends (they payed him $200 for it) the junk car shop was unaware the car wasn't my friends and the owner of the vehicle is not aware the car is gone (yet) what could potentially happen to my friend if he is caught for doing this?

I recently had QUITE an experience with one of these recalls. While on vacation my car had an electrical short and burnt up in the parking space next to the cabin we had rented.I paid someone to take the car to a junk yard and rented a car to come home.I found out later there was a factory recall for electrical short on my vehicle(my loss i had the car junked already). I am writing this to warn others: IF THERE IS A RECALL THAT COULD BE A FIRE HAZARD-DO NOT PARK YOUR CAR IN THE GARAGE/CARPORT—once the fire started under the hood of my car there was no starting or moving the vehicle–had it been at home in the garage and happened at night -my house would have had serious fire damage and we may have even burned up—just a warning because i had never thought about this risk and want to make others aware–thank you
Well-I did not ignore any recall on the vehicle–i never received a recall notice-maybe because this was not a new vehicle-i purchased it used–and there was NO warning or any indication anything was wrong with the vehicle

The car we are currently driving (POS) is in my fiance's name. It is a piece of junk. He had defaulted on some credit cards after purchasing that vehicle so now his credit isn't as good as it used to be. We still owe $5,000 on that vehicle.
