Mustang 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
Purchased vehicle from used car lot on 5/14/2004. Had suspicion that vehicle had been wrecked and repaired. They assured me that they do not sell vehicles like that and it was never in an accident. I received a statement from an auto body shop stating that the vehicle has been wrecked and repaired and still has suspension damage. The dealership I purchased the vehicle from thinks I am lying and trying to get out of a contract. I have taken pictures of the vehicle and its damages. I have also obtained a car fax report stating that there was an accident reported in Washington state with a police report # and a accident report #. since the vehicle was purchased, it drove really squirmy, pulled to both sides of the vehicle and had a problem when it was test drove. They thought it was brakes and it actually was a problem with the gears. The brakes were ok, they were not the best and did not stop the vehicle that well. The vents in the vehicle were broken out, which I fixed the best I could, the shift box inside the vehicle had the protective cover missing and the shifter indicator that lets you know what gear you are in did not move at all.

The vehicle shimmies at about 62 or 63 mph, then smoothes out at higher speeds. You can actually see the rear end shimmy side to side. You can feel the roof move. The dealer acknowledged the shimmy, but was unable to correct and stated all new Mustang convertibles shimmy.
