Your worse problem

CRD0, and loving it. While I can't specifically confirm CRD0 for the difference between the two cars, the part throttle difference with respect to my old CRD1 is amazing (WOT seems similar to my old CRD1).

I got the build date from Brian (RoyLPita - I hope I got his name right).

Windshield washers work fine. :)
664394 is my VIN sequence #.

Funny anecdote: about 2 weeks ago, I stumbled across another black 2003 fresh off the auction block. A quick check of the VIN: exactly one number LESS than my MM#2's VIN. What are the chances? LOL!

663997 is mine - but is that VIN sequence only for Marauders? Or shared by other Panthers?

So wonder if those two MM (the one you saw on the auction block and your #2) were in line at the plant...
 
Shared across Panthers for 2003, I believe. So I think that would reinforce the possibility that these two bad boys were back-to-back on the line?

Correct .
 
I'm sure I'll jinx myself by posting...
had a bad passenger door window regulator
left rear shock is leaking

That's it at 24K....
 
Having a $34,000 20 ft'er by far is my worst gripe.

The mysterious 'air bubble' followed quickly by pegging the H has to be my worst (and most feared) problem I've had with this car.

32,000 miles and the rest of the problems I've either caused myself :rolleyes: or fixed with help from this site.:2thumbs:
With the exception of the 'tick' with which us 4 valve guys apparently have to live with.:down:
 
Climate control was blowing air out the defrost instead of the vents at 33k miles.
I bought the car with 24k miles and im at 43k without any other issues.
I do drive it like I stole it and Its my daily driver so I guess I got a good one.
 
what's wrong? Not Much.

300A 40k miles:
#8 piston grenaded, taking block with it
LSD failed at 40k
foggy left headlight
 
1) Extra body to frame bushing between body and frame (freebie)

2) Shift linkage

3) Battery

4) Power window switch for driver's door.

5) Power window motor and regulator on driver's door (also found window motor wire harness pinched in window regulator)

5) Seat frame and lumbar (also found the wire harness for the driver's side age bag pinched in seat frame)

6) Two healamps, one parking lamp, and three fog lamps replaced

7) Two full sets of tires, one set of rears on order (arrival date May 1st)

8) Rubber stops for the decklid keep falling out

9) Paint....won't go there

10) No radio while defrosting the rear window

Remember, Quality is Job #1. :baaa: :lol: :bs: :shake: :rofl: :loco:
 
Wow, you guys have had a lot of problems...

In 35,000 miles my problems consist of one burned out light bulb and two blinking LEDs.

Maybe it has to do with all the attention I give it.
 
So, WHAT WAS YOUR WORSE PROBLEM ????? Answer the question. Is every problem....your worse problem???....:rofl:

Yeah good point! Worse problem should have been one answer instead of all the laundry lists here

:lol:
 
Warning--syntax discussion. The suggested question to elicit one problem is: What was your WORST (rather than worse) problem? This may avoid a laundry list of problems. My answer is radio reception which was fixed with replacement radio. No problem has hindered getting to and from desired location. Can't ask for more than that from a car.
 
Worst problem: the dreaded tick. Improved dramatically after the cam guide caps were torqued to spec under warranty, but I still have a start-up chatter.

The paint is so-so, but she shines up nice with help from the Zaino Brothers. All other idiosyncrasies that irritate me from time to time are by my own doing.

All in all, this is still the nicest car I've ever owned, and no other car has given me a 10th of the enjoyment my Marauder has provided.
 
Problems:

popping subwoofer: dealer fixed with matting somewhere.

noisy steering: rack (leaking?) replaced under warranty.

Leaking rear shock: replaced under warranty.

squeaking hood: adjust hood thingies occasionally.

Thank god I know so little about cars. I'm sure I have other problems, but until something blows up or falls off, I probably won't notice.
 
Worst problem? No action! These things are babe repellants. I got more tail with my old '78 Fairmont Futura. WTF?

BTW I have a SB 2004 300b, build date 10-24-03. Just turned 40k miles. No mechanical or cosmetic problems. No squeaks, rattles, smoke, leaks. Nothing, nada, zip, ziltch, zero!

They sent me an application for an extended warranty. Threw it away. Then they called. I told them I'd buy the extended warranty if they reduced the price to $100. She had a nice laugh...:)

I have these too, but I am seriously about to drive my MM off the next bridge I see.

That muther f***ing hood latch will NOT stop squeaking. I grease it, and after the next wash it's right back to squeaking.

I tried filing the latch down a bit - still squeaks. I tried wrapping the post on the hood in teflon tape - it tore right through that stuff in a couple days. This morning every single bump was met with a nice, loud squeak.

I'll be filing it down again today. :mad2:

Holy sh|t. You'd think Ford could do a friggin' hood latch right. It's gonna be one of those days. . .

You're suffering so bad I had to reply. (Hopefully I won't have to hear so many profanities.)

It will take too long to explain my solution. Feel free to call me at my cell phone at any time at 781-389-6879 East Coast time.
