2005 Ford Mustang engine complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 44 of 44, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Initial problems: 1. Pin strip on driver side was peeling off 2. A/c vent fell out of console 3. Convertible top got stuck in the down position. Stopped by closest dealer because I was on vacation and we pulled the top back up. Brought it to a local dealer for repairs and they said it was not covered under warranty because the entire convertible top frame was twisted. They stated this was because I most likely had driven while the top was half way up/down. After several weeks ford engineers decided to cover the repairs for the top. Took the dealer five weeks to get all parts and replace the top. 4. Gas tank replaced because gas pumps would constantly cut off while refueling. 5. A/c makes popping noise every once in while. Current issues: 1. Noise in front end while turning at slow speeds 2. After car warms to driving temperature, there is a thumping noise heard in engine, very prominent in interior 3. Driver side exterior door handle sticks in the out position 4. Convertible top making a thud noise when raising and lowering top 5. Exhaust is making a popping noise when if engine is revved right after starting the car 6. Slight vibration/rattling noise coming from console while car idles 7. A/c making popping noise every once in while.
