- new brake sensor switch ($90 dealership fix that probably would have been $7 if I wasn't on the road at the time and not able to do it myself)
- re-program PATS (done when car was under warranty)
then normal maintenance stuff like brakes, tires, filters, etc.
Only time I was 'stranded' was the PATS issue. Nothing else was to the point of taking the car off the road - and don't foresee any issues in the near future either. |
The alternator i can live with, the fuel pump should have already been done considering the seller did all the recalls. The cheap and inexpensive fixes I can do with a friend and no idea how much the PATS costs...but you're the first i have seen with this problem. Guess i'll give my dad a call right now and tell him we're going to check out a Ford! wish me luck haha.
