Ford mustang conv. 1999 3.8 liter engine. reported engine problems/acceleration probs 3 times to dealerships ( one time to another dealership outside ford jurisdiction that noticed excessive gasket leakage) before 12,000 miles. finally, after _x0013_not being able to find problem_x0014_ all dealership visits, finally replaced w/ refurbished engine demonstrating same problem at 31207 miles approximately. (please note- it appears as though dealership on two occasions tried to change the problems i notated to the dealership when i told the representative my complaints. gave me back invoice two times with modifications that were not original complaint! on the second time- tracked down the manager and complained directly and asked why the dealership had done this. he had no answer for this employee_x0012_s action.) the only difference with the new _x0013_refurbished_x0014_ engine is that there is no burning smell and the engine unexpectedly vibrates so violently that the whole car shakes and gearshift vibrates to and fro violently- the initial acceleration complaint remains. the violent engine shaking does not happen all the time. this new engine has been installed only 3 days. transmission/ clutch assembly- gasket replacement (excessive burning smell in vehicle). no coating under vehicle to protect interior components- dealership fixed. inside of windshield cracked/ chipped internally- no apparent reason. vehicle is garage kept. brake assembly replaced per recall. interior dashboard loses color- replaced two times. convertible top apparatus-excessive rust- needs replacement. cd player stopped working since 20,000 miles but had replaced due to time constraints at 30,000 miles. convertible roof gasket- replaced due to defect. there are other problems but i am sick of typing. this is absolutely the worst ford product i have ever purchased. not only that, but the delray lincoln/mercury repair department appears corrupt. i wonder if they have to pay for the repairs and what their incentives are for ly
