I am surprised that the 05 & 06 Mustangs all have vibrations. I own a 2001 Mustang GT and a 2002 V6 Mustang and I never had any vibration problems. Ford needs to get the bugs out of the new Mustang. It's been over 2 years now since the new 05 body style came out and Ford STILL hasn't worked out the bugs on these cars. I would never buy a 05 & an 06 Mustang with all these problems that they have. I am lucky to own the older body style which has been problem free to me. The new Mustangs are  's.

I have read the latest posts with interest becuause my '06 GT runs like a bandit and so, so smooth......I have replaced the exhaust with a Magnaflow w/ MagnaPack Cat Back system and the air filter with a C&L TrueFlow Cold Air system. Ran smooth (no vibrations)prior to the changes as well......I'm purely satisfied with mine...

Replying to: stuw (May 26, 2006 5:03 pm) "Well I got my car back from the dealer ship a few hours ago. I had taken it in cause the brakes started to make noise again. I had it there for the same problem before, they turned the rotors and it went away for a little now its back[:  ] So I went back and they did the 05-10-10 TSB. I also asked them to check the rattling that I hear when driving on certain roads in the passenger compartment (like the air bag was loose I told them basically) They said this... Dash Rattle Oasis#311 173 734 Road test-verify concern-perform niose diagnosis-traced noise to far right area-r+r 'A' Pillar trim for access- Isolate rattling dash sections with foam tape-road test and isolate sections until noise gone- road test & verify noise gone. I didn't hear any rattling on the road that I hear it on all the time. The tranny rattle that I heard when the car would start up after sitting happen to be a tsb I never heard of... Ran SSMS - Install clamps to noisy ehaust hangers as per TSB # 06-04-01 We'll see how that goes in the morning before work. It usually would rattle a little bit in the morning for a second or two. Just wanted to let you guys know cause I remember some others having Dash rattles and so called tranny rattles. Get em check up, get the 05's to par lol" Hope this helps... |

I was one of the first to get an '05 Mustang GT when it first came out. Owned it for 9 months. Only sold it because I was offered more than I paid for it. Whithin the first month of ownership, I went to a "Mustang Meet" in my 'burg. There was a lady there who had just bought her GT, too. She was upset with all the "noise" it made. She said she had taken it back to the dealer several times and was planning to try "Lemon Law" procedures. When I asked her what the issue was, she said the exhaust wasn't right and that it vibrated. I asked her to fire it up. When she did, all I heard was the beautiful exhaust note. When she reved it a bit and put it in drive, the tires would, indeed, "chirp" (the cause of her vibration). I told her that everything was normal. She still didn't believe me. When I asked her what kind of car she had previous to the Mustang GT, she said she had a Toyota Solara. Yeah....they are both coupes, but that's about the only thing that was similar about them. I guess it's all about expectations and knowing what you have.

Replying to: tranti (May 29, 2006 4:12 pm) This is Ford's reply to me, they are saying that this and the rattly front end are normal for the car. I too suspect the transmission or driveshaft. I think they need to fire some engineers.
