Replying to: spike05 (Apr 11, 2005 8:32 am)  I've noticed the same noise on the front end of my 05 V6. I took graphicguy's advise & my car is going into another Dealership on Monday. The dealership we purchased it from, didn't seem to know anything about anything.  Their reason "excuse" was this is a new model & this is the first car they are experiencing any troubles with. Problem is, they kept it for over a week and still didn't fix anything. My second cd player is bad. It is a "B" series. Thanks graphicguy, but I already tried programming the speed control volume; that doesn't work & none of the buttons light-up. The thunk I here, when I shift from p to r, is supposed to be fixed, as well as the gas tank shut-off problem. Now I get to tell them to check the front suspension. Man, I think we got the lemon of lemons.  I agree with snow3, all these problems are detracting from what is supposed to be a cool car. I'm advising others to wait before purchasing a 'stang until all the kinks are worked out. In my case, it looks like I've got awhile to go before the pony runs like I know it can!

Let us know how the 2nd dealership service dept works out. I've been buying new cars for 20 years for myself and family members. Rarely, have I had ongoing problems when I switched dealer service depts. As with anything else, there are good ones and there are bad ones. After doing a little bit of research, I found that once they replace your stereo, they have to reprogram it to get the lights to work. Clearly, your dealership service dept didn't do a thorough enough job to do that. I've never had any problems when filling up at the gas station, so I can't say I know what the issue is there. I've got a manual tranny so I can't help you with the sound you're experiencing with the automatic. Whenever I've experienced a "thunk" in an automatic tranny, it's usually been fixed by adjusting the u-joint connection. Hopefully, that's all it is with yours. |

All my traction control & abs lights came on the other day so I took it to Ford. They said it was just a computer glitch and reset the computer. On the way home from the dealership they came on again. On my way back to the dealership I went to stop for a red light and the brake petal went ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR! A flatbed is on it's way! |

Most engines are made in clean rooms and "test driven" by compressed air. First time they run on gas is at the end of the "Line" when they are started and driven to a test area and then out the door. (think about Gasoline around sparking machines? Got the picture...no gas on the assembly floor!) TSB's tell the service what to look for and the recommended fix for it. No manufacturer wants substandard vehicles on the street. Some dealerships leave a lot to be desired. I must draw exception to "TSB's don't mean warranty coverage", on the contrary, there are several TSB's that EXTEND the warranty on certain parts IF the part is actually defective AND needs to be replaced. Like everything in life...it depends

| Getting ready to order an 05/06 Mustang Gt. Considering getting the racing stripes over the trunk/roof/hood. Has anyone heard of any problems w/ these types of decal striping wearing away, chipping, or fading ? | |

I have about 1500 miles on my GT and an annoying dash rattle has developed. It started off intermittently, but now it is constant. It sounds like something plastic vibrating. The wife *thinks* it is coming from the area of the right front dash, approximately where the dash meets the a-pillar. I wanted to check if anyone has experienced this before I bring it to the dealer. I have an auto and also experience the thunking noise when shifting gears. Funny thing is, it is not every time I shift, so I never thought about it until reading it here this morning (I was staying out of here to not ruin my happiness, but the rattle started ). I usually get the noise shifting from reverse to park. Also, is it normal to have a "whine" come from the rear-end? I have noticed it with the windows down and since this is my first Stang, I don't know if it is common. My Pathfinder never made this noise and I am worried after reading the above poster say there was no fluid in the rear. I'll have to check mine.
