SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS
I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE DESIGN AND INSTALLATION OF THE COIL SPRING SHIELDS ADDED TO CATCH THE COIL SPRING WHEN IT FRACTURES. THE SHIELDS ADD AN ADDITIONAL PLACE FOR ROAD SALT TO COLLECT WHICH WILL HASTEN FAILURE. IT WAS ALSO NECESSARY TO CUT THE INNER FENDER TO ALLEVIATE RUBBING BETWEEN THE SPRING SHIELDS AND THE INNER FENDER. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT A SPRING FAILURE WILL RESULT IN THE SUSPENSION COLLAPSING AND CAUSE A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL DUE TO THE TIRE CONTACTING THE SUSPENSION AND INNER FENDER.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
ENGINE OIL PAN LEAKING DUE TO EXTREME CORROSION. DEALER SAYS THIS WILL ONLY BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. I HAVE OWNED NUMEROUS VEHICLES OVER THE PAST 40 YEARS, AND WORKED AS A MECHANIC FOR SEVERAL YEARS,. I HAVE NEVER SEEN AN OIL PAN CORRODE LIKE THIS, BUT I'M TOLD IT'S FAIRLY COMMON WITH RECENT FORD ENGINES. I'VE OBTAINED ENGINES FOR ANTIQUE CARS THAT HAD BEEN SITTING DIRECTLY ON THE GROUND FOR YEARS, AND THE OIL PANS WERE NOT CORRODED THIS BADLY. I FEEL IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT COULD CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING.
