Consider something else. My wife bought a 05 Magnum and it was a total nightmare with every issue it could possibly have. She sold it a year later and bought a late model Crown Victoria which she really likes with no issues. A local PD bought 2 Magnums for K-9 use and found out later on they...

If you live in the Broward/Miami-Dade area I doubt you would have such good service from a auto chain group. I have seen more people ripped off then I can count. I will say I hear less complaints about Sears then the other ones. The average oil change from a auto chain group in Florida is 600...

Florida is the biggest rip off state when it comes to auto repairs. Several tire dealers tried to rip off my mother so many times I lost count. She finally found a honest private garage. I live in Broward County and its real bad here for rip offs. Miami Dade County [where I work] is just as...

Originally Posted By: bretfraz Agree with the others. Without pics it's hard to say but it sounds like paint or clearcoat failure. I doubt it's rust but I suppose it's possible. Have you found complaints from other CV owners about the same thing? Could be a factory paint defect. I'd follow that...

Originally Posted By: rg200amp Did you get the car new or used from ford? or did you get it from a used car lot. I have never heard of that happening to a factory painted car. On my old Jeep, the front fender was repainted when i bought it used. due to them painting over rust it bubbled. so...

Originally Posted By: Islandvic What did the guys at cv.net say? How big are the bubbles? Pics? Waxing probably has no effect. I bet it's coming from the inside out. Take it to a reputable paint and body shop and ask them what exactly is going on. The bubbles are real small and shows up...

Originally Posted By: parimento1 They are wrong, that means it has already started to rust underneath the paint. If you do not take care of it, eventually you will have a hole in the hood and trunk. I am very surprised you have this in Miami FL, but I suppose FL is not immune to rust. Also...

Noticed recently some bubbles in the paint on the hood,top trunk. Its out of warrenty. Took it to the dealer today to ask them about it and they said unless the bubbles bust leave it alone. If it does bust I will have to repaint the effected areas at a tune of 1500 bucks. Is this a normal...

How many miles on this 4.6?

Shell here in South Florida was trashing peoples cars about 2 years ago when they had a unsually high sulphor content.Some people had to pay up to 1500 to 2k bucks to get their car fixed.It killed the gas gauge and some computer sensors.Then when Shell realized what was happening instead of...

Actually i use only plain old water and no detergents to wash the car at the self service car wash ounce a week.If you have enough wax on the car [i wax ounce a month]the dirt comes off easily with no detergents.The body shops around here say wax ounce a month due to the burning sun and heavy...

Motorcraft 5w20 syn. blend.Seems to work fine for 5k in Miami heat and nightmare traffic with a/c never ever off.Thats in a 05 4.6 Crown Victoria.

I wouldn't even think about putting in synthetic in that car. BTW I think thats what Kojack used to use to get around NYC in the 70's.The 75 Buick Century was good car and the 350 was one of the best engines ever made.

According to that>Mobil super gas has cleaning powers that their regular dosen't.For now i'll stick with Chevron since i use regular.

Ok>Thanks Inliner.
