    SOS. In dire need of info. Nobody knows whats wrong. What is this? Why is alignment always screwed up and no answer for why? Im about to give up.

    Sometimes that one back one plays around and makes banging noise like its going to straight up come off, wobbles doing city speed limit and even at low speeds in a parking lot it has that wobble. Ive gotten out and had my partner get in and let it roll so I can see from behind, it wiggles...

    No front. Im told the front is fine and no damage or inconsistencies. Its this one specific back wheel being dumb and one guy who checked it out did admit that ones messed up and not in fact fine but he doesnt know why. The car sits lower in back, especially that side and Im not sure why or if...

    I am insanely frustrated and looking at trading it off. Yall on the forum are truly my last hope. Car has been repeatedly having issues despite a bottomless pit of visits to every shop in town who will take it and "repairs"... It immediately goes to toe in, and I believe the term is "negative...

    This car is all kinds of stressing me out... any advice??

    A happy update, SHE LIVES! My partner managed to get the trunk open for me bc the key wasnt turning when I tried. We ended up taking the battery to get tested and recharged, I put that back in. It started right up, I drove it like a mile down the road and then back again, ran it around the...

    The key wont work. The trunk mustve been replaced. Itll go in but not turn either way. Thats why I was asking. Sorry that sounded stupid to you but the key has never worked for the trunk itself.

    This car is all kinds of stressing me out... any advice??

    So in my town no one can read codes for it EXCEPT the Ford Dealership bc the car wont *give* the codes to anyone else. The mechanics come here and use code readers and it gives absolutely zero info, on anything. Its broken down before, in September, over an MAF sensor and had to be put on a...

    This car is all kinds of stressing me out... any advice??

    So. Ill preface this with normally Im not such a wreck over dumb stuff but lifes been slamming me with one thing right after another lately with no signs of stopping. This was the cherry on top of the sh*t sundae. The other day we got our first snow while I was out overnight. I didnt get a...

    My LS just... stopped working. Does anyone have any idea what the hecks going on? My mechanics are STUMPED on a potential diagnosis.

    Im so shocked honestly that so few people thought of the MAF sensor and that was their vote. So many of the dozens of ppl ive talked to and all of the mechanics whove come to look voted throttle body or fuel issue. We had a few rule outs, fuel issue was one of them, none of us knew what the heck...

    UPDATE: It was a bad MAF sensor and we got it running again. Guy on facebook told me his did the EXACT same thing and turned out to be an MAF sensor. So I figured his story similar enough to be worth a shot to change it. We changed it, jump started the car, and it was entirely fine and runs...

    Actually yes! We just did about half an hour ago and I came here to update everyone :) someone on facebook told me a story about theirs doing exactly that when their MAF sensor went out so it was worth a try to change it out. I picked one up at a parts store today (was marked up to 72 dollars...

    It sure tries but wont start and run :/ today the mechanic came over to run some tests and said itd start up for a split second then die. Car didnt catch any air through the intersection, literally was only about 20 some to 30 then gave out

    I just put fuel in it right before and there was absolutely no way it burned through 75% of a tank driving less than 30 miles in 2 days. It definitely has fuel, at least half a tank.

    I have no clue but Im willing to bet they havent been changed ever in the cars lifetime I have a Carfax report for it, tons of oil changes, a few sets of new tires, tire rotations, washes and details, reallignments, wiper blades, but literally nothing else lol it was a government owned vehicle...
