Replying to: pumpkinfish (Apr 21, 2005 2:41 am) I'm getting tired! Since January, I've had a new transmission, gas tank, Shaker 1000, spoiler, I've had electrical problems, ABS & Traction Control Problems and NOW my vent air control doesn't work AND I'm having sounds from my right rear that sounds like plastic crunching! I think WE ALL need to ask Ford to extend our warranties since WE ALL have so many problems!! If Ford don't we will be in deep caca!! |

While none of these issues are anything I'm experiencing....if you have some sort of slow fuel fills, squeaks, vent problems, find a dealer service dept that will fix them. While not a scientific sample, the 3 Mustang GTs around my 'burg have none of these problems (mine included). But, if they did, the first step is to take them to a dealer and have them fixed. If your dealer can't fix them, call Ford customer service. Have them get involved. I can say that mine has been perfect. But, it was built in March. From what I can tell, the early builds were the ones with problems (before the middle of March). |

I bought a V6 in December. What a MISTAKE!!!! It has been in the shop a countless number of times. I know have 6000 miles on this piece. Has anyone had a problem with the brakes skreetching The car has been in the shop 2 times for this, Monday will be the third. The first time, service turned the rotors. The car has 6000 miles come on. The second time service said there was a rock in the rotor. No sooner than I got home the noise started again. I have also had the fuel problem, the dash rattle and one that has not been mentioned yet, everytime I roll the windows down it scratches the tint. Does anyone have any suggestions.

Replying to: chevyman2 (Apr 24, 2005 6:59 am) Never had a brake issue, but if I were a bettting man, I'd say you've warped your rotors somehow (do you ride your brakes? inadvertently left your e-brake on? slammed on the brakes hard early on? No rattles, no slow fill-up problems (but apparently there is a TSB regarding the "slow fill-up" issue that your dealer can fix). |

Great. Went to fill up and it shuts of at $11.96....then 12.76....then 13.45...13.55....14.00...15.12...16.34....16.44...17.34....then i turned the gun upside down because someone here said it works (whoever said that, thank you!) and I was able to fill it afterwards. What upsets me is didn't this happen when I picked up my car with a full tank of gas? I also have a rattle in the right front dash, it sounds like the to pieces of metal vibrating. very annoying and at this point I have to keep the sound system going! At least they finally figured out the wheel balancing issues. The car drives great, though, so one has to accept certain little bugs with new cars. I typically do not buy first year cars for this very reason, but i was seduced, what can i say! Same thing happened in 1999 with the then new Mustang and i had zilch issues. Oh well, as long as you love the car, you will put up with some crap. If I had a Honda or a Toyota I would be pissed. People buy those car because they want no headaches, and then when they occur, they want their money back! It is catastrophic to them because they want to drive Maytags with zero issues. Instead, i would rather be lumped in with MB, BMW, Volvo, Audi, owners who put up with less reliable cars, but the driving experience, the personality and character of their cars FAR outweigh these types of niggling issues because this is the type of issues, right or wrong, that exist with the premium cars, never mind a bargain basement Mustang.

| It comes from where the two aluminum pieces meet in front of the passenger seat. I guess that is where the airbags comes from, hence the split in between. When I hold those panels with a little pressure....AHHHHH....silence. The sweet sound of my noisy sticky Falkens is all I hear, and that beautiful rumble of the V8. | |
My mustang came back from the shop 1 week ago and so far no complaints other than my car had 50 miles put on it at the dealership. I enjoy my mustang alot it is very comfortable and now that I have a whole new rearend It drives so much better...The thunk was a very loud thud and I actually felt as though I left my rear half of my car at the stop sign. It was then followed by a light thunping sound as if I was riding with a flat tire....So keep your ears open...I am very Happy with everything overall. My mustang was buildt on 12/1/2004 and my stereo is an A series with the same sort of problems reported here and elsewhere...My gas tank must have been replaced Haven't experienced any problems.. Leather interior no problems....Rattling sounds none yet....I am gonna cross my fingers and hope that the larger issues  have been taken care of....

Nice to hear that I'm not the only one with strange noises coming from the front end, especially when backing up. It also occurs at slow speed going forward. However, I've got a new one for you. In easy acceleration, between 1000 and 2000 RPM, usually in third, my car will misfire, even to the point of stopping the drivetrain for an instant. Very disconcerting at 20 mph. A friend tells me that the computer is advancing the spark too much under those conditions. I switched to Premium (I bought this car because I could run regular, darnit) and the problem is significantly reduced, but not eliminated. The technician at my dealership noticed the problem when I showed it to him, but says that without a TSB from Ford, he can't change the programming on the computer. I'm heading to Tommy Vaughn next. BTW: I've had the tank replaced, so far so good. I also had the driver's side rear window resealed because it leaked. Sure hope I don't find myself stranded with electrical problems. Otherwise, even if I have to declare this one to be a lemon (here in Texas, I've already completed the requirements for this year), I'd get another one in a heartbeat.

| My GT has all the good problems execpt the CD issue. I took it in to have them try and help with the dash rattle and noise from my seat and it was a joke. The sevice manager did a test drive with me and the noise was plain as day and he was like "I don't hear anything". I stuffed some foam under my seat and some little rubber bushings in a couple spot in the dash and I am doing better now with the noises but the tranny thing has me worried - should I be? The gas fill issue on mine showed up after around 1500 miles but I turn the nossle around like mentioned here and I can get the thing to fill OK but don't really want this to be the way I have to do it every time so I'm gonna probably call them and see what to do! | |
