Nothing But Problems - 2006 Ford Mustang

I own a 2006 Ford Mustang. My battery died on me as I was driving down the road which ok... then the alternator went (again I can deal with that). Last week as I was making a left hand turn my steering locked up on me. If I kept going straight I would have gone through a guard rail into a lake with Alligators.

I manually turned the car as hard as I could and finally the power steering kicked in leaving me to almost hit the car next to me. Come to find out the crank shaft pully broke in two. Now I try to order this part from Ford and it is on NATIONAL back order for two months. I called to let them know and to see why it is on NATIONAL back order (sounds like a recall to me!) I am told that maybe it is because the company supplier went out of business. Sounds like bull to me. So I guess they just expect me to be without a car for two months. I now have to pay double for a high performance part so that I can have a car.

I live in a really small town and I am the 3rd car waiting for the same part. Does anyone have any suggestions? This is just one issue I have a with this car. UGH!!!!

    If the supplier went out of business, I would think Ford is in worse shape than you are. It stinks but if they can't get the part, they can't get the part.

    As far as the first part goes-the Altenator went, then the battery went. The altenator was bad, and was not charging the battery, so the battery was drained, causing all the electrical equpiment to fail.
    You can drive a car that has a good altenator without having a battery. You can't drive a car that has a bad altenator very far even with a battery.
    Downside of newer cars. Most everything is controlled electrically.
