6 Loud Engine Noise problem of the 2010 Ford Mustang

Failure Date: 11/15/2009

I financed my car brand new oct 31, 2009, a week later I took it in to dealer because there was rust covering the whole under side. Ford sent me away & said this was normal. Around Dec 2009 there was a loud noise & felt like the engine had literally dropped to the ground. Never happened again. The gas also sometimes pauses to accelerate & suddenly jumps forward skipping a gear & jerks the car. Passenger airbag panel is partially open & when I push on it, I hear crinkling & it pops back open. The easy fill gas feature allows gas to leak out causing a ring of gas to form below the opening on the exterior panel. I'm so unhappy with these issues I'm here for help.

I started my vehicle in the morning and I heard a loud noise in the engine. I left the car like that and called my mechanic. When he checked the car, he found out that the spark plug was loose, he just put back. A couple of months later, I heard the noise in the engine again, I knew what the poblem was so I put the plug back in. Some months later (12/04) I had the same problem, but this time the plug wouldn't tighten, so I called my mechanic again. He checked the car and found out that the thread in the spark plug hole had stripped. I bought a spark plug thread kit and he was able to fix the engine, but the engine didn't perform the same.
