My battery was getting drained. I couldn’t get it looked at over Christmas but on January 5th I got an automotive electrician to come to my house to diagnose the problem. It took him 3 hours but eventually he discovered that the screenwash pump had been leaking and it had made its way along a cable and into the motherboard in the glove compartment. This had shorted out one of the fuses, causing it not to shut down when the engine was turned off, hence draining the battery. So on 12th January my local mechanic was able to replace the screenwash pump. It took all day, as the pump is located under the wheel arch and required the removal of the wheel to access it. My car is now working well.

I noticed a "metal on metal" noise and brought the car to dealer. They told me it was just normal engine noise. A couple thousand miles later, there was a "knocking" noise in the engine. Ford wanted me to drive the car in, I insisted upon a tow (under warranty). They took a week to diagnose that it was indeed a spun bearing. They solution was to replace the entire shortblock.

Car started stalling while driving. Found to be bad EGR purge valve which caused suction on the fuel tank, imploding the fuel tank. They had to replace the fuel tank, fuel pump, EVAP canister, and EGR Purge valve. Was covered under extended 75K mile warranty that I purchased with the car.

I have an oil leak at the rear of the engine. The dealer couldn't pinpoint the leak so they installed dye in the engine oil and told me to come back in one or two weeks. Intermittently the air bag light comes on. This is because the DTC is throwing B0029 (voltage spike for 1-6 seconds). The dealer with help from Ford was unable to pinpoint the problem, reset the DTC, and told me to come back it it recurs. They used the UV dye to ascertain that the leak was from the oil pan gasket and replaced it. Intermittently the air bag light would come on. They were able to track it down to one connector which they cleaned and the problem went away.
