I smell this musty odor coming from the AC vents sometimes, but not constantly. It doesn't really smell like burning oil like I would expect if there was a VC leak...it's more like a dead rat in the duct. I'm not positive, but it could get worse when I beat on it, but the smell lingers when I'm...

I'll try to keep this story short, but I might not be successful. Ever since I got the '03 new, I have been disappointed with its performance. After reading such awesome reviews prior to the lease, I was expecting much more. The throttle lag, the sluggish shifting and the less than impressive...

When I bought my '03 new, I just HAD to have that car. Over the years I found some features so annoying I have sworn to avoid them in my next car purchase. My top three are... 1) Rain sensing wipers that continue to wipe when the windshield is dry and stay parked when I can't see through the...

Ironically, while driving to get new tires put on my car, I got a flat. I had to dig through all the crap in my trunk to get to the spare and I changed it without incident. I was careful to center the wheel and spin the lug nuts on with my fingers before giving them a final twist with the...

The OEM Michelins on my '03 V8 need to be replaced...soon. The Michelins are pretty pricey. What have some of you guys and gals put on your cars? Opinions? Prices? Any advice is welcome.

The other day, I got a warning chime and the display said "Check Temp" or something like that. I looked and the temp indicator needle was pegged at the "H". Not in the hot range or near hot...totally straight up,can't go no further, getting ready to bust the gauge....H! I pulled over Immediately...

...been poking around on the net without success. Can anyone here recommend a good paintless dent repair guy in central NJ ?

...tired of my '03 nav system not recognizing addresses, but the cost of an updated DVD is too high. Any chance of someone burning a copy of a later version?

I live in a relatively low crime area and of several local train stations, I pick the one I consider the safest when I go to NYC which is about 40 minutes away by rail. I returned around 2:30AM Wednesday to find the sheet metal underneath the door handle warped and pry bar gouges on the...

I've read it's a known issue, but I hardly ever notice it because...well, I have the THX sound system. Anyway, when I have a passenger and I don't want to abuse their ears, I turn down the music and I have to listen to that creaking sound. I called the dealer to tell them I was brining it in and...

'03 LS V8...can't say this happens consistantly, but, when I fire the car up, I often I hear a sound that I can only describe as a muted, low volume air raid siren (told you it was odd) that seems to come from the right side dashboard area. After a minute, it winds down and goes away. I've tried...

This happened once before and someone from NavTech told me how to fix it, but I stupidly didn't write it down. I just got off the phone with them again, only this time the person I spoke to was as clueless as me. I called up restaurant icons on the navigation screen and, in my area, there are...

A couple of nights ago, I was driving only about 30 MPH on a dry, smooth road that I'm very familiar with when I gently applied the brakes as I was approaching a curve. The brakes went in anti lock mode which, as most of you know, really gets your attention. There was no apparent reason because...

Got an '03 LSV8 and that "feature" hasn't worked right from day one. On exiting the vehicle, it works as it should to pull the steering wheel in and move the seat all the way back. Regaining the prefered seating position when the key is inserted is the problem. It never goes back to the same...

Now that it's cold outside and the heat is in use inside my '03 LS V8, I notice an annoying cold draft coming up into the cabin from between the drivers seat and the transmission tunnel. Is anyone else having this problem? Is it worth having the service department look into it?

I have an '03 LSV8 in Ceramic White, which looks oh-so-good in the New Jersey slush...My question is about the durability of the paint. It seems it's particularly vulnerable to small stone chips...moreso than other cars I've owned, even other Ford products. Looking closely, the paint around the...

I'm considering a move to NYC and if I do it, I'll need to sell my car among other things. This Fall, I'll be only two years into a 48 month Red Carpet deal with my '03 LS V8. Opinions please.

Yesterday, for no apparent reason, the idiot lights for the anti-lock brakes and the advance track came on during a short drive in my '03 LS 8. They were accompanied by the info center stating the advance track needs attention. After being parked for a few hours, they didn't come back on...

Leave LS in driveway during blizzard. Small ditch=big headaches.

'03 LS Ultimate in ceramic white...loaded...'spensive. 12,000 miles, has been in the shop a dozen times...always for something different. Wheel bearings self destructed, entire head liner needed replacing, new coil pack, new MAF sensor, various and mysterious no start conditions and towed to the...
