For you guys who say there have been no major issues with this car and it's the "best" built Mustang ever, have you bothered to even do a Google search?
While I realize that it's anecdotal, a quick search will reveal MANY folks complaining of problems that Ford just has not fixed:
1. Engine ticking (both at idle and under load)
2. This alleged "piston slap"
3. Grinding and notchy gears
4. Multiple clutch issues
5. Hard/long starts
6. Shimmy at highway speeds
I might have missed some here. While you might not consider any of these major, all can be quite disturbing to someone who just paid $36k and would very easily affect resale value.
I don't fault Ford as much for the original problems as their apparent inability or unwillingness to fix them.
you act like no other car company has issues an say the same thing to there customers. every single type of car ever made he some type of issue weather the the driver or owner knows it. hmmmm sounds just like people doesnt it? the issues stated are known issues an ford is working on them. so if you can't wait or help find the solution to the problem you can always just drive you new 5.0 off a cliff an the insurance will pay it off an you can buy another car op:
