Only two TSBs on 2004?

[BigGuyBigCar]

Few months to go on original warrenty so I thought I would check the technical service bulletins listing. Am I correct in finding only two for the 2004 model? 17492 (ABS light) and 17545 (arm bushing sleeve)?

Anything else I should be listening for or looking for before warrenty expires? Opinion on getting a premium extended from Ford?

I see that there are previous threads that come up from a search on "warrenty," so if you think this topic has been covered already, don't bother to reply again.

Thanks

Thanks!

jimlam56,

My warranty expires in October too.
But...BEWARE !!!
On Brian's TSB list, # 04-24-3 refers to the leather coming loose on the steering wheel. Seems like a rather trivial problem, wouldn't you think ?
When I took my DTR in for evaluation for this issue for THREE days this past Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, my selling dealer would not warranty a replacement wheel. Instead, the dealer had AutoOne pick up my DTR (without informing me my DTR was leaving the dealer's premises) to determine if it was "repairable". After AutoOne could not effect "repair", two other third party outsource consultants were brought in, but again, neither source could effect "repair".
Since common sense failed to prevail for a fair resolution, I thanked my saleslady for all the many years of her sales assisstance and indicated that it was unlikely that I would see her again !
As a result of this fiasco, I immediately ordered one from Ray (TheDealer).
Alas, such a shame...to permanently lose a customer who has been loyal to FoMoCo vehicles since 1972 over a $187 steering wheel !!!

I had absolutely no problem in getting the Blackbird's steering wheel replaced under warranty because of the leather separation behind the yoke. No argument at all. It was at a Ford dealer too! Only slight bump in the replacement was they ordered a GM replacement and not an MM wheel. No problem! They ordered the right one the second time and it's holding up fine. That's how a customer should be treated....and they continue to get our business too.

IDLE VIBRATION - VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH SINGLE EXHAUST

This came up when you did a search for Marauder?

Must have been for the special "Australia export only" version. (All cars over there have single exhaust, even the performance cars.)

Alas, such a shame...to permanently lose a customer who has been loyal to FoMoCo vehicles since 1972 over a $187 steering wheel !!! Prolly spent that much in having two outside service companies examine and estimate their cost...
