IMRC is SVT only. Sounds like you had a bad connection of sort.. possible electrical fire and this ford dealership just threw parts at it at your expense.

I used to work at a Ford dealership and i have to say i feel for ya man. I also believe that mechanics should specialize or only work on things they are capable of. You found yourself between a bad Service advisor and a mechanic who was just plain lying to her cause he had no idea what was wrong with your car.

Thats what I told them and the person there said thats impossible, i said its not an SVT is nothing but a modified Zetec thats designed with alot more performance and alot more controllers.. I got a stupid look back then blamed the car yet again and I told them right there if the car is loping its having running and idle issues and it still does to this day. either way it may end up going to one of the dealers that have been mentioned in the post but dont be surprised if it arrives dead or on a flatbed because im sure it will end up that way, currently im stuck i don;t have the money for another computer that dealership sucked $2000 from me for just the computer, the valve cover gasket, pigtail and diode

My son is a Ford tech that continually upgrades his studies and yes, they are supposed to recommend issues to the customer (you want to call it upselling, okay).

But his cars don't come back. He fixes them right the first time. The way I taught him.

Need a good tech?

He's at Mohawk Ford in Hamilton and I will pass on any information if needed.

No your right... I'm sorry not all techs. I recall i took my gf's focus there for some front suspension warranty and they were fantastic about it. They didn't even try to push for anything else too. Tell your son to go to other dealerships and teach the rest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyways heres the receipts from the repairs and yes i forgot to mention that i had the tie rods done and I knew they were shot, hit a speedbump sounds like a post went though the frame.. also the Ran on 2 cylinders is bullshit because it was running and idling better then it does now
