i think there bs'in me about it because they said it was in the fuel pump but when it started dying the check stabilitrac message was on and the check traction control. and i had onstar run a probe on it and they said it was the abs, then the dealer said it wasnt trowing any codes

i think they fucked up rebuilding mine too, sometimes it will shift to 2nd early then go back and forth to first and there is like an inch of play between gears when i shift it manualy
I'm getting pretty sick of this car. I can name a list of things that suck about it. Only thing i think is good about it is the LS4 engine. Everything else is pretty much mediocre or below. This car in my opinion wasn't made well enough to handle a v8. Probably going to trade in for a nice durable crown vic in the near future.
My own personal list:
1. Trans slips in the 1-2 shift 50% of the time
2. Headlights flicker when turned on. Sometimes only 1 turns on.
3. Bose stereo noticeable hissing sound when volume is low.
4. Horrible rear seat room/leg space.
5. Trunk is too big, and not that necessary.
6. blind spots.
7. FWD
