We bought a 2005 Roush Mustang GT in October 05. When we originally went to test drive one of the Roush GT's on the lot, the battery was dead. The dealer came out and jumped it for us, telling us that it had been sitting for a long time. We ended up purchasing one of the other Roush GT's on the lot. When we went to pick up the car it would not start. The salesman again came out and jumped the battery. We drove it home and the next time we tried to start it, the battery was dead again...after a 30 minute drive. We called the dealership and they replaced the battery for us. The battery died on us another time in July 06, and we had the car towed to the dealership because it would not jump start. The service dept claimed that they "fixed it right" this time, and we received the car back again. We didn't have a problem again until just this week...the car would not start once again. We never let it sit for a long period of time and this past week we had used it on a regular basis. Whenever the car won't start the windows are partly down and the stereo goes nuts. I have also had occasions when the car DID start and the stereo made strange noises for about 10-20 seconds or so. There is definitely something wrong with these cars. Lemon law anyone???? We just had the car picked up and towed back to the dealership a third time.
