Engine light came on and car was sticking in gear so I took it to the dealer. The dealer found out through a diagnostic test that the throttle assembly but wanted me to pay almost $1000.00 to get it fixed. I told them no and picked my car up. I went on line and found out there was a recall on the throttle assembly.

None of the gauges work. I have to drive pacing myself with other vehicles. Only the icon for gas needed comes on when the gas is low. Starting after about 10,000 miles on the car I have had increasing problems getting fuel in the car. Not just myself, but anyone that tries to fuel the car. I initially started holding the fuel nozzle upside down to get gas and that worked for a few years. (although you look like a dumb ass that doesn't know how to put gas in a car!) this last year it has gotten so bad that I am lucky to get 2 gallons in it, and that is with it repeatedly shutting off. Since day one the right front wheel makes a grinding/clunking noise when I turn the tire in either direction. It makes me feel like the wheel will fall off. My cars body assembly is also crap. The front lower grill has popped off and disappeared. I have seen several, at least 10 other mustangs of this year missing the same part. The plastic, yes plastic!, screws pop out. The places where the inside seams of the car are supposed to connect are detached. The light enclosure in the trunk will not stay attached. The seat handles fall off. I only have 50,000 miles on this car. Repair shops tell me to wait for a recall, when is that going to happen?

Popping noise up front when I turn left or right, also very hard to put gas in tank my brother is a certified mechanic and he said it was the strut bearing plate making the popping noise on the passenger side. It is like 300.00 plus labor to replace. I have read alot of people complaining on the popping noise, this should be a recall. The gas tank should be a recall too. Thanks

2005 mustang convertible top failure. No prior warning of failure. I took it the the ford dealer in lugof, sc (james ervin ford) to seek repair. Dealer said they did not repair failed convertible tops, I should take it to a body shop. I explained that the top had failed after just 42.000 miles on the car and that ford had issued 2 tsb. They did not investigate the tsb and refused repair.

Dt: 2005 ford mustang gt - there was bad vibration within vehicle. This happened anytime while driving at 45 MPH and above. It seemed worse when the car sat for a few days. This did not start until the car had approximately 3000-4000 miles on it. The dealer seemed to think it was the tires, one new set of all four tires, and a set of two tires that were put on this vehicle. The tire calibration machine stated that the tires were within specs. The consumer called the manufacturer, and there were no recalls or technical service bulletins on this car. *ak the consumer believed the problem is with the suspension or the drive train.
