If you don't drive the Mustang every day or every couple days, you have to have it jump started because everything, even the door locks, will not work. This has happened to me twice so far and my car only has 6000 miles on it. I have had it to the Ford dealer and they say that I have to live with this problem. Mine is not the only one doing this. So I have a $30,000 car that is in my opinion not reliable and a piece of junk. I keep my car in exceptional condition and this is a pain in the a--. I was told that I need to buy a battery charger of some type to keep the battery from dying. That is a bunch of bull. Why should I have to buy anything to put on a new car? It is new so there must be a problem that the Ford Motor Co. needs to address and fix. I have to start it every couple days or it is dead. FOUND ON ROAD DEAD!!!!! If anyone else is having the same problem, email me at jstlokn@aol.com so we can compare notes. I know for a fact that my car is not the only one with this problem. I know of 3 in my area alone and I am sure there are other ones as well. We need to get on this company and have them figure out what is wrong or take this car back at the price we paid for them and do a check to see if the problem can be solved.

Mustang V8
I have a 2006 Mustang Gt and I had a problem about a year ago we went out to get in the car and the car acted like it didn't want to start and when it did the radio was on AM and the CD player was moving like it was searching, well it didn't do it anymore until just a few months ago. We went to go out in it on July 11th and it wouldn't start or anything so we had it towed and they said it was just the battery which I didn't think it was. Well August 29th the problem happened again and they are saying that I need to drive the car 95 miles a week to keep the battery charged, which I think it just ridiculous. My car only has 6700 miles on it and they are saying that I have to drive it 95 miles a week to keep the battery charged. What is wrong with Ford that they won't fix something that is a definite problem. I know I am not the only one going through this. I am so aggravated right now that I told the guy at Ford that I was disappointed in their product and I wouldn't recommend a mustang to anybody. I hope they come to realize like now that they need to fix this problem. I
