Flew to Pittsburg and drove back to NYS my new GT Prem today. Along the 8 hour drive back I had constant rain 8-(

When it got dark I noticed I couldn't see where I was going. And in the rain, it was very hard to see anything. The headlights work but they are aimmed at the ground. The high beams look like they are aimed where the low beams should be. Is this a common problem with Mustangs? I went though the owner's manual and I found a section showing how to test and adjust the lights. Is this something I should do or bring it to the local Ford dealer (where I didn't buy it) and have them fix?

I had one other problem, the rearview mirror doesn't dim. Bright lights were shining right in my eyes from the mirror. Whats with that?

P.S. According to the computer I got 23 MPG on the highway. I find that hard to believe, I was constantly shift gears and speed so as to not have the engine sit at any one RPM for a long time.

 

You need the Comfort Package for the Chromatic mirror (auto dimming)

 

If you don't have an auto dimming inside mirror, there should be a tab at the bottom of the mirror housing so that you can dim it manually.

 

Congratulations on your new car! There should be a section in the owner's manual on headlight adjustment, but I would take it to a dealer since you just bought it.

Ooops, reread your post and saw you found the instructions on aiming, duh!

Take it to the dealer.

 

I think I am going to cry or scream...I have another problem with my new GT which I just got yesterday. I was driving down the road and went to make a left lane turn and I lost my power steering right in the middle of the turn! It was as someone turned off the engine, no power steering. I was turning into a parking lot so I drove around a little and it came back and was OK after that!

I made an appt with the local Ford dealer for Monday for the headlights and mirror. Now I have to add the power steering too! All of these are safety concerns so I would hope Ford makes everything right fast or else...

Yes, I got the comfort package and it does have a dimming mirror. It just is not working! 8-)

Do you by any chance have the Nav system? I ask because I also have the comfort package but mine also does not auto-dim. It's also supposed to have compass in mirror and doesn't. I heard that is now on the radio display. just wondering what else has changed on the rear-view mirror we don't know about when the Comfort option was chosen

 

Also, sorry to hear about your issues. hopefully the local dealer (where you didn't buy the car) will still be responsive and customer oriented and get you all fixed up. I had a few minor issues with mine as well but nothing as a matter of safety but the experience of dealing with my Ford dealer has been nothing short of fantastic. Hope all goes well for you!!
