| I bought a 93 mustang 4 cylinder with 12,000 miles on it in 1293. the car now only has 28,000 miles on it total. the door locks do not work, the hatchback latch doesn't engage correctly, when i go to lock the ignition switch, i have to continually jiggle the gearshifter before the ignition switch will lock, and the air conditioning system has a leak in it somewhere. these problems started occurring in june of 2000, but due to warranty only being good for 3 years, the dealership refused to fix the problems unless i paid for the repairs, even though the car only had ~ 17,000 miles on it at that time. the paint started fading out in 1998. *tr | |||

| 1) the hood latch cable has corroded due to exposure to the battery connections. this has been repaired once already and the replacement is needed again. 2) the hood latch has been replaced before as well. the hood just won't catch and shut completely. again, this replacement is being performed. | |||

| As i was driving on the bay bridge (at 55mph) on jan. 5, 2002, the hood latch broke and my hood wrapped itself on the roof and windshield. i safely got the car off the bridge. the hood is mangled, windshield broke, roof dented, grill broken, etc. it's a mess and should not have happened.*ak | |||
