Right side sway bar end link joint developed play and was lightly clunking when suspension travel loaded and unloaded the joint. OEM part is prone to this premature wear, supposedly uses nylon in the socket joint that wears, and no lubrication is possible on this sealed joint. Bought a Moog replacement part which is all metal and has provisions for grease fittings to lube for maintenance. $25 replacement part is easy to install. If the left side goes, will do the same, and don't expect to need to do it ever again.

P1289 engine code came up for the first time in the 9 years of ownership immediately after taking it in for the annual state inspection. Figured it had to have been something done during the inspection, but couldn't see any possible causes for this. The code indicates a cylinder head temperature out of range reading. It is intermittent, going away after a few seconds, and I can clear it with an onboard scan tool. May take several days to weeks before it pops up again, and the temperature gauge is seen to read full cold until it recovers after a few seconds back to the normal midrange operating temperature. So far nothing needed except a reset of the pending code indication; monitoring until it becomes persistent and stays on long enough to look at.

Drivers seat fabric separating from pad. Ordered new pad. Ignition switch stiff and hesitant to return. Asked for TSB for repair...said car does not fall under TSB but will fix anyway..ordered part. Fuel injectors ticking loudly. Ordered fuel rail insulator to quiet them down. New seat fabric replaced on bottom cushion. Was told that fabric will "tighten up" when outside temps stay above freezing. Will keep you posted on this one. Ignition switch replaced. There was a TSB out on it but dealer claimed my car was not included in the TSB. They did verify the concern however and replaced it anyway. Ticking injectors "fixed" by putting foam insulator on fuel rail. Much quieter now. So far, I'm impressed with Fords quick resolution of problems..not so impressed however with how many there are on such a basic, 10 year old platform.

Hopeless. Problems are mounting with this car and Ford has no intention of fixing any of it. I'm selling it and am done with Ford after driving only Fords for 16 years. There is an accessory noise that sounds like a clunking coffee can rolling around. Dealer says there's no fix of course. Something in the door is swinging around loose and knocking against the inside of the door and the door itself. Dealer of course refuses to fix. Clutch position sensor switch has malfunctioned causing the idle to hang even with the clutch in. Switch squeaked since new, then started popping and the idle started hanging. Dealer doesn't have a clue what they're doing and replaced the spring.

1. Car made horrible noise when reversing, sounded like rocks in the transmission. Cause was a rock caught in engine mount - shield was ordered and installed to prevent problem. Window seals have been falling out since new, finally Ford had a TSB on it. Seems it be an issue with the 2-dr coupes. Took a week for parts to come in. Took almost 2 hours to have them replaced - the whole door interior panel had to come off. Car made horrible noise when reversing, sounded like rocks in the transmission.

Ford & Microsoft completely screwed up my car and refuse to fix it. I had only one warning tone before, now I have a different one for each warning(seatbelt, lights on, etc). Also 911 Assist won't shut off. Dealership refuses to acknowledge problem.
