Replying to: juggernaut (Mar 26, 2005 11:18 pm) A TSB is a recommendation from factory to dealer. The dealer is not under any warranty obligation to do what the TSB suggests.
#12 of 1524 throttle by wire by m1miata Mar 28, 2005 (7:34 pm)
How is the throttle by wire working? Can you give the gas a little blip on down shifts to match the RPMs? Is the response instant? How about dropping speed after you let off the gas? Never owned a car with that system. They have used it on Corvettes for some time. Still not sold on electric steering assist. Anyone know if Ford is getting into that?   -Loren Replies to this message: graphicguy (Mar 29, 2005 7:31 am)

Replying to: m1miata (Mar 28, 2005 7:34 pm) Can't comment about electric steering, but the "drive by wire" in the Mustang works instantaneously. If anything, the response is quicker than the usual mechanical connection between throttle and response.

If you are ignorant enough to do burnouts in 2nd gear then you should be prepared to pay for premature clutch wear.

Replying to: mcd2 (Apr 01, 2005 3:19 pm) I read in another forum that they started putting the new tanks on the cars on Jan. 24. Replies to this message: datang (Apr 01, 2005 8:38 pm) graphicguy (Apr 02, 2005 9:09 am) datang (Apr 03, 2005 3:34 pm) and 3 more... snow3 (Apr 14, 2005 7:18 pm)

Replying to: silvergt (Apr 01, 2005 7:31 pm) We haven't had a problem with the gas tank, but we have had a problem with the cd player acting crazy. My 3 week old v6 has been at the dealership since Monday. They are replacing the cd player. My other problem is a noise in the back-end when I engage the shift from park to reverse. Dealer claims there is nothing wrong with the car. Sounds like a U-joint problem. Any clues?

#18 of 1524 Re: Gas Shutoff [datang] by graphicguy Apr 02, 2005 (9:09 am)
Replying to: datang (Apr 01, 2005 8:38 pm) Mine was built in March. I've had no issues with gassing it up. My Shaker plays fine. I don't hear any noises in the driveline. So, in short, I have no clue what's up with yours datang. I'm assuming it's an automatic tranny?   Mine is a manual trans. It works great.   I don't know that a new car would have a u-joint issue. What's it doing? What kind of noise is it you're hearing? If the dealer says it's normal, have they given you an explanation of exactly what you're hearing?

Replying to: graphicguy (Apr 02, 2005 9:09 am) Yes, mine's an automatic. There is a knock coming from the back-end when engaging from park to reverse. The dealership's explanation to us is that the other 'stang on their lot does the same thing. I beg to differ with that response. I've been able to listen to 2 other automatic '05s this weekend & those cars are not making this noise. Anyone whose around when I put it into reverse questions the knocking sound & most have said it sounds like the u-joint is bad. The dealership's maintenance manager heard the knock, said they checked it out but found nothing wrong & since Ford has not posted a bulletin on the noise, there's not much they can do about it. Totally frustrated & disgusted with our local Dealership! Replies to this message: 96blackstang (May 04, 2005 9:30 am) fdthird (May 05, 2005 9:56 am) bmwguy2 (Apr 09, 2006 8:55 am)
#20 of 1524 Fuel Tank & CD Problem by mcd2 Apr 06, 2005 (4:32 am)
Just got my new Mustang V6. I do have the fuel tank problem! Nothing seems to work to get the gas in except "trikling" in the gas oh so slowly. Also, at times when accelerating from a complete stop it acts as if the gas just cuts off and then it "catches" again. Doesn't happen every time though. My Shaker 1000 Cd does act up at times and I do have a "thunk" when shifting from reverve to drive(automatic Trans). So I guess I'm so lucky to have ALL the problems. I am getting nervous about owning this possible "lemon". Tell me something good here!!
