Put some scar tissue on the liver!

V6 transmission are bulletproof. Not the smoothest but they are largely problem free.

Seepage is not an issue. Leaking is different.

Could be alignment or other suspension parts. Best to have mechanic check it out. At 180k you are needing a refresh on all suspension parts if not done already. Dropping 2k into a car with 180k is a decision you need to make. Trust me I am done dropping money into my 2011 with 149k.

Pass. Mileage for 2 years old is not sketchy. Its probably a lease car. No reason to accept a sketchy carfax for what you will pay like some dough for.... unless its like $20k.

Had o2 sensor last go in 05 Mustang 4.0L.... rare to go. If you don't have other issues then likely a fluke. These cars dont have gasket issues. Always can have pressure test done if you want. Pinging or oil in coolant (or vice versa) is a problem. I would fix it and not worry.

Don't add freon unless you have a gauge. It can make things worse.

Dirty throttle body? You should see a Toyota 3.5L rev. High and long

It's a cheap part to replace.

Would be an excuse to get some new impact accessories:)

Had a bunch of Chicago made P2 based Ford between my parents and I (7 since 2005). Every one of them had corrosion on the hood. I used to use Klasse and now CarPro UK 3.0. Cleaned up the door earlier this year with wire wheel (bare metal which had PoR15 applied). You are lucky!!!

My wife and kids keep me busy. I don't have extra time like I used to have. I might think about replacing it. Do you use an impact? Cordless or corded/air?

I noticed better Park to Drive with the 2 mounts. Didn't replace trans mounts on mine and don't plan to spend any more money on a 150k car.

How many miles? You should see the torque strut on a ford 500. 300 dollar part that could be fixed with a $10 volvo part or even rumors of a hockey puck.

Check out under the rubber gasket.

I agree. Don't spend 2k to 3k on something that may not happen. I just dumped the last 1k into my 2011. No more big bucks for my car. Mine is rusty in those places but did use wire wheel and POR 15 to clean it up. I guarantee your hood has corrosion but that can be masked by a 60 dollar bug guard.

Make sure to get Ford parts.

Never after 149k

Sounds rare..... maybe from being PIU?

Thank you for your service.

I wouldn't doit unless you have experience.

Find a good independent mechanic. Without driving it, hard to guess.

Low risk of transmission (no pun). I wouldn't worry. ADAM'S polishes has a microban product, fyi if you want to wipe down. Let it sit in the sun for an hour or two after its done. Will kill anything if hot enough

No lemon law, car has 100k on it. Trade it in with the computer (oasis) with that record needing a new trans and you dont disclose it, you risk trouble. I think you are SOL

Got 5 years out of my Motorcraft battery. Suggest spraying the red terminal grease on them to reduce corrosion. These cars are not hard on batteries.

Centric are I'd go with Motorcraft or Akebano for pads. Don't settle for something less.

Sounds risky if Google doesn't bring up a legit part.

no. Your on the wrong board. Sorry

Its a cowl. Check out Ford parts website will guide you.

I remember reading years back, Chrsyler had the same issue. It was traced back to the deodorant employees were wearing.

Probably other folks had this issue. I'd start off by searching the forum.

Rear tailgate show unless its a base or it fell on, body work done, rtc.

Car- part.com Also, is no 2011 Sport Fwd.

Replacing both CA after 148k miles, with Motorcraft. Leak on PS, torn on DS. Probably past due. Picking it up tomorrow.

File an insurance claim?

Sway bar links, control arms. Kind of low mileage for any of those parts to go.

I have a base model, no power recline. My rear tilt stopped working. Motor died. Had a new used track out on. Yours might be the switch if its the recline. I'm no expert on electrical matters.

Depends on the year.

Sounds like the transaxle roll resistor or motor mount

Averaging 83 miles a week Peter since Mid March. My 2011 will be a pile of rust at this rate by the time I get to 160k :)
