Hey, I have been having very simular problems with my 06. What all do I need to do to either get ford to fix it or to atleast get the lemon law kinda settlement? either way would be fine by me. I'm just getting tired of putting money out of pocket into this thing for stuff that the factory should be covering but arent. Thanks for any help.

I bought a new 2006 Ford Mustang GT, haven't had anything go wrong with it (except the battery, which was still under warranty) in the five years and 65k I've owned it. I think this is a great car. If I had a choice, I might go for the 2010, heard it's got more hp than the 2006 GT with only a V6 and better mileage. I think Ford's really come back as the dominant American car manufacturer.

Friddle03- I'm with you. My 06 Transmission started slipping at 40k I got it fixed but adding more fluid. Then at 55k it starts slipping again only worst. The gears under the shifter started rattling, I don't even race this thing. Its a daily driver, WTF. The TPS sensor fried, had that replace, The gas tank doesn't fill up all the way, the saddest thing is FORD doesn't even know how to fix it.

I just got done reading that Ford is the one of the most reliable cars around, and yes that include GM products. Just another note Ford wasn't paid for with our tax dollars.

Don't buy a car within the first 2 years of redesign. It's better to wait for 3 or 4 years after a redesign because the earlier ones will have more problems.

Hey LL-COOL-J
Ford sold 166,500 mustangs in 2006 and so far I see 3 complaints on this blog. Do you really think that you are hurting Ford by all this complaining? I say take your Ford and trade it in for a new Chevy and your problems are solved but wait a guy of your ethics would not give your problem to someone else right.

I'm a foreigner, which means I would prefer a foreign CAR (Honda, Toyota, Nissan etc) but I fall in love with the mustang ever since I first saw it. I have been looking for 1 to buy in quite some times now, preferably a 06-to08 Mustang convertible, after all the discussions about it, and all the problems people saying it has, I'm now very skeptical because I dont wanna buy another American that will last as short as my last(03 intrepid r/t) so I'm asking if I should reconsidered and stick with my first love, and find the most reliable and fuel economy as I can get for my money.

I have had my 2006 Mustang GT for over 5 yrs. It is hands down the best car I have ever owned. I have never had one single problem with it. I have owned approx 15 cars in my lifetime. I think I will keep this one for a long, long time.

Well, I can say to you that you were right about me trading the car in. However you didnt know the first thing about me to come talk to me about ethics. Just be glad you werent in my shoes when it came to this problematic situation.
