is the toe in? Is he right? My wife took it in after we put on a new set of Kumhos, and now its pulling to the right. I'm going to check the pressure today, but I'm not sure this alignment guy knows what he's talking about. I knew it wasn't right when the missus said he told her "I got...

I don't know what the problem is...I took it to the dealership and told them my brakes were "mushy" all of a sudden. They told me it was my problem and that I needed brake shoes (not under warranty). No problem, I buy a nice pair of ceramix from NAPA, put them on today... still mushy. I...

My 03's brakes recently got very soft. They go all the way to the floor, and are actually scary to drive with. Took it to the dealer (see other thread!) and 9 days later the called to let us know that its normal wear and it would be our responsibility. I don't mind a bit to change the...

My 03's ac was blowing fairly cool from the drivers side, but downright warm on the passenger side. The dealer has had it for 9 (yes nine) days and called today to tell me that both sides were within 5 degrees and Ford wouldn't let them do anything unless it was a larger discrepency. I'm...

No charge on anything due to it still being under warranty, but I'm curious about the "water into the cap wells" TSB that is cited. If anyone remembers I had the car go into failsafe, and it was missing. The note on the invoice reads: (not corrected for spelling) VERFIED MISS IN VEICLE...

Ok, two days ago my wife complained that her car was "sputtering" when coming up a hill. She stopped at an auto parts store where they said they had several people complaining after filling up at a local Marathon. They suggested some "HEET" additive to clear any water out of the system. No...

The music is so annoying. I think its a nice vehicle, but the commercial sure doesn't make me want to buy one. Poor, poor, Ford. I wish they could get out of the hole they're in. Sorry, had to rant a bit!

I really enjoy my LS. My wife has been driving it since she was hit in september, totaling her little Kia spectra 5 sporthatch. She's never really been crazy about it the LS though, we just have different tastes in cars. She's more of a "mustang, beetle, mini coooper" type of person and...

Well, the LS wouldn't start this morning. Dead battery. The little dot on the battery was red. The wife said the horn was weak lately. I'm still under manufacturers warranty. Is the battery covered?

Trying to change my rear pads right now. I have the caliper off, but I cannot get the brake piston to slide back into the caliper so I can install the new pads. Every vehicle I've changed before will slide back in with a little prying against the disc, but I'm not having any luck with this...

I understand the plastic can be bought from here: http://www.ametco.com/perfplastic/index.php which size do I need? (I'm guessing 1/2" holes) Has anyone ordered from them before? Thanks!

Just bought one from ebay with a couple of emblems (probably paid too much!) but its on the way. The body shop at my school has a paint matching system and can take care of painting the grill to match my G2 LS. I think I want to only paint the surround body color and leave the center black...

I'm planning to paint my grill/surround in the next little bit and I'm trying to get my materials together. Do I need flexible primer for the grill? I know rustoleum makes a primer for plastic: http://www.watco.net/product.asp?frm_product_id=357&SBL=1 but I'm not sure if its...

and get it to the level on the reservoir where it should be when cold, some coolant "pukes" out the front cap (radiator cap at the front center of the car, just above the fan). It only comes out after I've been driving enough to warm the engine well. No overheating or lights, but it...

Seriously thinking about painting my grill. I would probably just use spray from paintscratch, but I'm a bit worried about the durability. Anyone who's painted theirs please feel free to chime in and let me know how your paint has lasted and held up. Before and after (photoshop) below...

Anyone with a vivid red (redfire metallic) LS tried the Plastikote paint? Their website shows a match for G2 actually called redfire pearl metallic. They should have it at Walmart I would think. If anyone has tried it, I'd appreciate you let me knowing how well it matched up.

Well, I've had my 03 for a month, so far so good. Currently at around 23k Problems have been: Leaking driver door weatherstrip-replaced under warranty Leaking rear trunk tailight-replaced under warranty Cigarette lighter console door-replaced under warranty Rear passenger window...

Getting ready to replace my brake pads soon and I'd like to take the opportunity to paint my calipers. I have a Vivid Red 03 and I've seen Tmans with the calipers painted to match. As much as I'd like to do the same (and maybe I will in the future) it seems expensive to buy the color...

Here in the mountains I love to play with my 03V8P in SST mode (and it helps with brake pads!). I do have a concern with 3rd to 2nd though. My local dealer told me it was just the nature of the beast, but when I downshift from 3rd to 2nd, it feels as though the car goes to neutral for a...

Hey all, on a 3 hour trip yesterday my 6CD head unit started getting warm, skipping, and finally giving the CD error messge. The CD's feel pretty hot when ejecting. I was using CDRs and I know the manual states that they may not work, but dang my Kia played them fine. Is there any...
