bought mine new in July 2011 now has 14,000 miles. Had the tick but dissapeared on its own after about 7,000 miles ticking, had the drivers side suspension creak which also went away on its own. Puts a smile on my face each and every day!

Purchased early Oct. Turned over 7300mi yesterday. First oilchange done at about 5200mi. NO ISSUES! (Other than a WIERD dream I had the other night about the pressure plate bolts backing out and a LOT of clutch smell.) I woke up in a sweat and ran outside in my jammies in 33 deg and cranked 'er up to make sure I was dreaming!!!

Looks like I'm the unlucky one of the bunch. My car must have been the first one built on a Monday morning after a long holiday weekend when everyone was still hungover or something. I've had more issues with my '11 that my last 4 Mustangs combined. With 11,000 miles I have fuel tank problems(says it's empty when it's actually nearly half full). I've had the same difficult clunky shifts when cold that a lot of others have had. Also the loud clanging from the engine when cold. Several times the stability control and ABS have activated for no reason during normal driving and braking. Had the engine tick which went away on it's own. Had loud metal on metal rattling from the rear exhaust which was promptly fixed the week after purchase.

14,090.4 on my 2012 bought March 31, 2011. Was in the shop for a total of 32 days before it had 6,000 miles. Ford did take good care of me and did everything that I asked and now with a new transmission and computer everything is working great, no problems at all.

Nothing to see here other than 270 miles on my October build GT bought early January and usually not driven if the outside temp is below 50. 1st to 2nd shift a bit slow until warmed up but that's nothing.
