I used to drive a 2005 Mustang GT convertible. It was a great car, I drove it up to 130'000 miles and didn't really have many problems except with the fuel tank that somehow wasn't air-tight (and as such it was a bit difficult to refill with certain gas stations) and with the doorhandles that didn't fully retract..
There also were actually two recalls for it as I remember, for both airbags (they were individual recalls) but I had only the driver airbag replaced. I never got to do the passenger seat recall as I exported the car to europe before the recall could be processed.
Not related to my question here, but I ultimately trashed the car in an accident and oh well, the passenger airbag did not trigger. Good thing I was alone in the car.

Anyhow - I really loved that car and now have an opportunity to buy an almost identical 2007 Mustang GT convertible.

I'd like to ask whether there's a list of common problems with this particular car model that I should look out for when inspecting the car? With the last one I missed the fueltank issue before I bought it because I didn't actually have to refule the car up until like two weeks after I bought it. The fuel tank issue however aparently was a common problem for that particular model, so now I'd like to ask what to look out for with the 2007 model?

Any input is appreciated

 

Welcome, hopefully the moderator for this section will move your post to the correct section. When you post, make sure you are in the section that is related to your model and year - there is a separate section for the S197 (2005- 2010 )

The fueling issue was common throughout the S197. If you rotate the handle 180 degrees it usually helps.
