I'm having a recurring nightmare with my charging system, and after replacing two alternators and two batteries, I'm just about as happy as Dick Cheney. I suspect it may be related to the overall electrical problems that have plagued this car (2005 Mustang GT) from jump street, many of which also marred my driving experience in my previous two Mustangs (2000 and 2002).
Why, you might ask, do I continue to buy the same problem? Short answer, other than masochistic tendencies, is that I still love the 'Stang bang for the buck, and they actually declared my 2000 a lemon because of these electrical issues and replaced it with that 2002. But since all three models suffer from this issue, which in one case nearly caused what could have easily been a fatal accident, isn't it time for a recall and some kind of customer compensation?
Whatever is wrong with this dingbat electrical system, it means everything from my dashboard gauges to ragtop and window operation work intermittently, if at all, and this can mean not being able to close up and lock the car, which is highly problematic, especially in high crime areas. Sometimes the windows just open and close themselves. Nice to know, after giving my car a name, that it's alive. But maybe I should've named it "Christine?"
