Mustang Pony 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission

Called my local Ford dealer (also where I purchased the car) explained the problem, asked them to check the date on my warranty...SORRY! your warranty expired about 5 weeks ago and there have been no recalls on this problem. I asked, could you work with me on this since it is definitely a factory defect. No! Sorry, we have to be specific on our warranty repairs. So, I took it to an independent and got the repair for a total of 602.00 dollars and 5 days with a rental car...220.00 m0re. Now I can trade it in with a clear conscience...BUT NO FORD!!!

Mustang GT 4.6L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 1,300 miles

2006 MUSTANG GT MAKES A MOANING NOISE FROM THE REAR WHEN MAKING SHARP TURNS AT SLOW SPEED.

I HAD IT BACK TO 3 DIFFERENT FORD DEALERS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES AND EACH TIME I HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR OVERNIGHT. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE 331 REAR LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL, IT HAS A FAULTY CLUTCH PACK THAT THEY ALREADY CHANGED TWICE ON MY CAR. THE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED THEY DIDNT SET UP THE REAR RIGHT AND THE PROBLEM RETURNED AFTER 1500 MILES. I CALLED FORD AND TOLD THEM THAT I WAS SICK AND TIRED OF TAKING MY 2006 MUSTANG GT TO THE SHOP. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR SUNDAY DRIVES AND LEAVE IT IN THE GARAGE

Mustang GT Premium 4.6L V8

  • Automatic transmission

The car has been in the shop 5 times for the same rear end noise, its not the costs but they keep fixing the same thing. Its not working the rear end howls and makes an air/grinding noise. Ford refuses to buy the car back voluntarily. It's sad when you finally get the dream car you always wanted and its a piece of sh*t and then some. All I own are Fords and this is making me want to own Chevys. The car only has 12,000 miles on it and the fact it still makes noises is just annoying.
