Re: 2005 Ford Mustang Convertible repair [mrgoodtimes]
Your only recourse is to find a convertible top repair shop in your area. This won't be a cheap fix, either, so be aware and do some shopping around if you can. If it makes you feel any better (which it won't), even if you were still under warranty (and/or have the extended Premier warranty), Ford still won't cover it. 2005 Mustang owners got screwed, big time. This is a problem ... Read More

Re: 2005 Mustang GT Electrical Issues [loncray]
I assume that when I took the car to the Ford Dealership that they looked at it and tested it. Prior to taking it to the dealership, I had a friend look at it and he informed me that the alternator was putting out enough volt's, if he was wrong then I firgued that the dealership would have caught it.

2010 Mustang GT with M-2005-FR3 Handling Package: Impressions Vs Stock
M-2005-FR3 Handling Package http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts/part_details.asp?PartKeyField=8976 The car should come stock with FR3 IMO. I hope this helps alot of folks out there thinking of upgrading their Stang's suspension. And I can tell you, stock suspension not only sucks..I'd say it's a bit dangerous. A stock 2010 Mustang GT rides high, ridiculously high which I guess relieves any concerns about rubbing bumpers on high curbs but such a setup also seriously compromises handling. ... Read More

Re: Has anyone heard of this problem with the 2005 mustang [akirby]

Re: 2005 Ford Mustang-GT Ticking noise from engine [akirby]
Its not normal, Ford has a TSB out on the lash adjusters, but wont warrant the work if you are out of 36K limit! Very expensive repair, its their design problem because they corrected it, supposedly, after about March 2008. You think they would own up to their mistakes! This damages rockers and cam if left unfixed. :(

Re: 2005 Ford Mustang-GT Ticking noise from engine [jccmdd]
As one of the guys already said, the noise of this may come from lifters but don't confuse this with valve raddle from low grade gas. try 91 verses 87 octane and make sure that your timing is where it should be 10 to 15 BTDC. 10 is factory.

Fuel Filling 2 cents.
First, 2005 Mustangs had this problem much worse and for 2006 and 2007 the fuel tank was redesigned. However, people are still reporting this problem with the 2006 and 2007 tank. It is not clear that replacing the tank on an 06 or 07 that had the redesigned tank originally will fix the problem. Second, different pumps do produce different results.

Re: 2005 Ford Mustang-GT Ticking noise from engine [jccmdd]
The ticking is coming from the hydraulic lifters. They tick until the oil pressure builds up in them. The hesitation is because of the electronic throttle. It's not just a Mustang problem. Virtually all cars with an electronic throttle have the hesitation problem; some worse than others.

In 04 and 05 they couldn't give them away. Mostly because it was way over priced to begin with. $40k - $43k MSRP on a car that should not have been priced over $30k to begin with. The ... Read More

Re: Visited a dealer [bri66]
You make an excellent point on the insurance issue. When the "new" T-Bird came out, there was teh same frenzy to get one, and customers were paying $K's over sticker for the cars. A couple of weeks ago, my local Ford dealer still had a 2005 T-Bird (new) on the lot, and heavily discounted. If you want a really good mustang collector at a great price, locate a 2003 Mach-1...if you ... Read More

Re: Get The Vette, as old as a 2001 [pony_pirate]
I have owned my 2005 Mustang GT for 11 months, and evertime I drive it I have a smile, this is the best car ford ever built. I concidered several cars before I purchased the mustang. 1-and older vette 2-Pontiac GTO 3-Dodge charger. the Mustang GT won. I recently had a Saleen Superchager installed for 6500.00. This brings my mustang to 475 RWHP at over 500 RWTQ. I paid 26,700 for ... Read More

Re: Fuel Problems [mfulford]
So the dealership said that no one has ever had this problem but they can hand you a slip that says there is a problem. This is what doesn't make since. Hopefully your meeting with Ford can correct the problem. I'm currious on what they have to say. I just got the car back from the dealer yesterday so I'm waiting to see what happens. I'm sure that having them rotate ... Read More

Re: Fuel Problems [casing1]
I was just at a Ford dealership (in New Jersey) yesterday having the driver's side door handle of my 2005 V6 replaced and the two other people in the waiting room with me were both having fueling issues with their Ford automobiles. I don't believe either had a Mustang as mine was the only one in the service bay, although I have the fueling issue, too (not the sensor issue). While ... Read More
Ford Mustang Lease Questions

Hey
I recently turned 18 and ruled buying a car out of the question at this age due to my lack of credit, and I refuse to let someone cosign for me. I therefore looked in leasing, I love the 2005 Ford Mustang GT Coupe. However, leasing will only permit for the 2006 or 7. I like the 2006 equally as much. The car dealer gave me alot of gibberish. Really I ... Read More

Re: No vibration [tranti]
I have this exact same problem with my 2005 V6, I had the car back to the dealer twice (they installed the damper to no avail) then I complained to Ford's corporate e-mail. This is Ford's reply to me, they are saying that this and the rattly front end are normal for the car. I too suspect the transmission or driveshaft. I think they need to fire some engineers.

Re: My gas tank is doing the same thing [gtgtcobra]
This forum is entitled "Ford Mustang (2005+)", not "Ford Mustang (01 & 02)" so why are you even posting messages here? Many people (me included) are VERY happy with their 05-06 Mustangs. Others have unfortunately had problems that they share under this problems/solutions board. You can't be having any problems with your 2005+ Stang since you don't OWN one, so why bother posting? By the way, I wouldn't touch a 01 ... Read More

Re: Remember . . . [gzgtp]
I too LOVE my 05 GT. As I said before, and I see others have made the comment as well, people come here to complain about their problems, so its only common sense that there is going to seem like there is a lot of problems. After the 2005 release, in just 1 year Ford has sold over 400,000 of the 05 Mustangs. How many here are complaining? A dozen or ... Read More

redesigned fuel tank
I know there has been much said about the fueling problems and I had that when I bought my 2005 V6 Mustang. After the redesigned tank was installed, the problems vanished until now, a year later. Now I can only fill up at certain stations with I suppose certain types of nozzels. The dealer told me that with the new style tank replaced, there is nothing they can do and Ford ... Read More

Re: Paying over MSRP [shelbydude]
Shelbydude, I say these words as a staunch Ford/Mustang/Shelby fan... Obviously, you are very excited by the new GT500, and so am I. I put a down payment on one on March 30th, 2005 right after the 2005 New York Auto Show. However, EVERYTHING you have said about this car was also true of the 03/04 supercharged Cobras. They were the most powerful Mustangs ever at the time, only built for ... Read More

Re: ford mustang: problems and solutions [gtgtcobra]
dude, the problems you are referring to are mostly GT issues not the V6. go read the real mustang forum boards and you will read all about these issues. Most are 2005 problems. The gas tank issue did cross all models.

Well sort of
They sort of recommended the Mustang. They recommended the GT, but not the V6. They did not elaborate on why they do not recommend the V6. The CR reviews are a bit quirky, so I use to use the magazine mostly for the back pages where they have the data of the owners survey. But now I see some very-very strange quirks in the rating of the LS Lincoln. I was ... Read More

Re: Paying over MSRP [starboardside]
On a 2004 GT Convertible that stickered at $31,500 the margin was only $2,000. I just looked up a 2006 GT Convertible that stickers at $34,855. Invoice $32,171. That's only a $2,684 margin. I suspect the Shelby won't have much more margin than that. As far as waiting until they are sitting on the lots, good luck! This isn't like buying a Cobra. The Cobra was built for many years. The ... Read More

2007 Shelby GT 500 Mustang
Ford is going to build about 16,000 Shelby's. About 8,000 per year for two years only. If you think it about it, getting one for only $10k over MSRP is CHEAP! The 2005 GT Mustangs were selling for $3k - $5k over MSRP and the Convertibles were selling for $5k - $10k over MSRP. So a Shelby with such a limited production and only being built for two years and being ... Read More

Re: 2005 Mustang GT Battery DEAD - Told it may be the Shaker 1000 [jclf]
Mine will go dead over night if i leave the key in the switch. Are you parking yours with the key in the switch? The dealer discovered this and thought there was a serious problem. He said all ford cars stay "alive" for 45 minutes before going to standby except the Mustang. It's alive if the key is in the switch and never goes to standy by even if there is ... Read More

Re: 2005 Mustang GT Battery DEAD - Told it may be the Shaker 1000 [bobcath]
The first time the battery was dead we noticed that the brake light was staying on all the time so we knew that is why the battery was dead. We took it to the dealer and they replaced the brake light switch and gave us a new battery. A week later we tried to start the car and it would not start as the battery was dead again. We put jumper ... Read More

Re: Not a smooth shifter [cobragt]
Consumer Reports: Mustang 2004 reliability looks excellent. MSN Auto: Reliability excellent. JD Powers mechanical looks like an excellent rating as well. The 2005 is rated lower on JD Powers for mechanical than the 2004. The 2005 and 2006 overall is a pretty good rating. And I would imagine compared to other Ford and GM cars of the past is pretty darn good for the first year. That said, it looks like ... Read More

Bad Quality 2005 & 2006 Mustang Cars - Most of them are Lemons
The new 2005 & 2006 Mustang V6's and GT's have many problems. The biggest problem being the gas tank issue, the shifting problems and the front end noises and rattles. I own a 2001 Mustang GT and a 2002 V6 Mustang and I don't have these problems that the new 2005 and 2006 Mustangs have. I am glad that I don't own a 2005 or a 2006 Mustang. I love the ... Read More

They did hand me this TSB and sent me on my way - ... Read More
