#1464 of 1524 Paint problems by mschmal Sep 20, 2006 (5:56 am)
If you have a paint defect, it is imparitive that you immediately go to your dealer. Paint defects may only be covered for 12 months/12,000 miles.   Don't be afraid to assert a warrenty claim. If your dealer fails to help you, go to another one. You at least want to get a response from Ford, not just the dealer.   Make the dealer take digital photos of the car and submit the claim to Ford.   If the problem is in the paint though, it may be something you have to live with, even if Ford offers to paint the car for you. A full body paint will negatively affect your cars value   One other option is to consider getting Le Mon strips. I saw a white GT500 yesterday with the Blue stripes and it looks awesome!   The Vista Blue stripes are as metallic as the Vista blue paint and the stripes REALLY kick!   Mark Replies to this message: mtang69 (Sep 20, 2006 9:46 am)

#1466 of 1524 Door opens while in a turn by joelbjr Sep 20, 2006 (12:25 pm)
Yesterday I received a pretty good scare when the passenger door opened as I was making a turn. No warning prior, no buzzer or alert to let me know the door was ajar until it opened. Noticed two things that may have contributed: 1.) exterior door handle is sticking ( both sides) and 2.)If you just push the door closed it apparently engages just enough to keep the sensor from tripping but not enough to keep it closed if there is any force against it. Car is a 2005 convertible with 8K miles. No other real problems that have been persistent or a pesterance. Anyone else had this problem?

Replying to: sigt1 (Sep 11, 2006 1:00 pm) Mine came with the clear bra on all front surfaces. Dealer is not sure how it got on the car since they claim they did not install it nor did any of the other Mustangs on the lot have one so they didn’t charge me the $500 or so . This has been great! I have taken some serious hits in the front and not a scratch.

Replying to: mtang69 (Sep 19, 2006 8:44 am) Not likely it's a paint problem given that the vehicles are two different model years. Water will cleanse tree sap so it can't be that. If you haven't already tried doing so, apply some wax and see if it cleans up. Failing that, use some light polishing compound. Replies to this message: lmm (Sep 21, 2006 11:14 am)

Replying to: cpelusi (Sep 15, 2006 7:47 pm) My '06 Mustang ran great untill just over 5,000 miles. Same "symptoms" as yours. Ford actually kept my car for a month, replacing sensors,several other parts, installed recorder box, replaced pcm and finally the throttle body. At that point it stopped dying on them and they deemed the car fixed. Dont know that a lawyer at this point would do you any good. They pretty much have to deem your car a lemon, and then it's up to Ford whether they deem it a lemon and will replace it for you. Unfortunately, best they will probably do for you is offer a 5 year extended warranty. Good luck, we traded out of ours by the way.

#1472 of 1524 Squealing noise when I turn by auburn1616 Sep 22, 2006 (11:56 am)
My 2006 Mustang is making these terrible noises. When ever I turn (either way) it makes this TERRIBLE squealing noise. We took it to the dealership, they claim nothing is wrong with it. My husband is going to take it in again soon. Also, I just feel like it swerves all over the road. I don't feel like a car that is less than a year old should be doing this!!!!!!!! Anyone else experienced these problems?   Thanks Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Sep 22, 2006 7:25 pm) spcard (Sep 22, 2006 8:10 pm)

Replying to: auburn1616 (Sep 22, 2006 11:56 am) Sounds like a very loose power steering belt.
