“Purchased a used 1999 Ford Mustang Cobra svt with 29,000 miles on the odometer. Since owning the car, I had several problems such as faulty chasis wiring system, car shutdown when hot and would not restart, faulty iac valve and throttle position sensor had to be replaced, no back-up lights due to manual transmission reverse switch failure, and brake lights switch failure. At approximately 55,000 miles I had noticed the car had ran low on coolant and excessive oil consumption between oil change intervals. …”
