I've had mine less than a year. They replaced the rear brakes, replaced the gears with a new set, and replaced the trunk liner witch is already falling apart again I think, oh I can't remember

fyi to fix the rear break noise they replace them with a larger set of brakes. So if your getting any noise take it in to get FREE brakes

Front driver side floor pan, popping noise,
Water leak 3 times
Rear brake noise
Dash vents closing when air is turned on
New carpet from water leak
New ant. they bent the hell out of the grommet when fixing water leak
Steering wheel wine when sitting still and just barely turning the wheel(not power steering related)
Front end chuckle, twice, in for repair this coming thrusday
Just yesterday notice shaker 500 acting funny, wont shut off at times and no sound!

That's pretty sad. Ford took a turn for the... worse. Big time. They had a great track record too. From 1996-2004, the mustangs they made were as dependable as hondas. I had a 97 that made it to almost 200k and a 2002 that made it to 130k. Almost no problems with those two cars, aside from normal wear and tear, whatsoever.

Well ... I have owned my screaming yellow 2006 Mustang GT coupe for 16 months. Bought it new. The car has 566.2 miles on it. (I have several other cars.) I visit the dealer to speak with their Accessory Specialist and have modifications installed. Otherwise, no problems have surfaced.

1. destroyed my second gear at 3500 miles due to the body-mounted shifter, luckily it was replaced under warranty despite the burnt rubber stuck to the rear fenderwells and fenders and all my mods incl. my off road x pipe lol

2. my shifter boot twisted and was chafing the material on 1-2 shifts so they replaced that also

Keep in mind the driving habits of some of the folks, like it or not, not everyone on these forums drive their cars with care. I have 3000 miles on my 07 and the only problem (other than someone running into me) was a vibration/rattle from my exhaust which seems to be fixed now.

Little things like broken *****, or broken plastic could just be abuse or wear and tear, I personally only pay attention to repeat problems. If 1 person has a problem, that doesn't mean the car is crap or quality is crap.

Lets see, mine is borderline lemon:

Clutch packs
window felt replacementafter scratching tint
Leaky master cylinder that left bubbled paint in the engine firewall
Fuel sending unit (taken it in 2 times, finally fixed)
Shaker 500 replacement twice and it still sucks
Multiple times for Pinging at high RPM (this car has yet to see a tune)
Poping speaker in door panel
faulty head light wiring



Holy crap man, you have some bad luck.
