    Paint Flaking on Cruise Control Buttons

    I hope you're right. I've have had bad luck with customer service with this car. so I'm not optimistic. But I may just get a pleasant surprise.

    Paint Flaking on Cruise Control Buttons

    Hello All, The paint on the cruise control buttons started to flake off where I press the "+" (set) button with my thumb. Just the corner for now, but it's only a matter of time before all the paint comes off. This is a 2010 GT with about 30K miles on it. I got the car in late April last year...

    Scheduled Maintenance Costs

    Forgot to add: As for "buying American", most of my recent dealings with a car dealer was with the local VW dealer. Since they're a much smaller local dealer, it seems that they try harder to have happy customers. Just one more reason I was caught a bit off guard by the Ford service guy.

    Scheduled Maintenance Costs

    When I went in I asked for the "30000 mile service". The service tech wrote this up and presented this as the "30000 mile service". I knew it was a little expensive, but (foolishly) I trusted the guy, since the only previous time I dealt with these guys was for a warranty repair and he seemed...

    Scheduled Maintenance Costs

    OK. Got the car back. Feels the same. ;-) So I'm going over the invoice with a fine-toothed comb. It seems that some of the items that I authorized were not requirements, but recommendations from the dealer. This one's on me, since I should have gone over my scheduled maintenance guide and...

    Scheduled Maintenance Costs

    Hello All, I just took my 2010GT in for its 30K mile checkup. I had done all the oil/filter changes myself. But since the car is now officially one year old, and it is at one of the major mileage checkpoints, I figured, I'd let my local dealer give it an official "once-over". The cost is...

    2010 Parking/Hand Brake slips

    OK. So the second dealer replaced the parking brake lever under warranty. The difference is night-and-day!! It feels like I thought it should have felt in the first place. But now I'm really ticked at the first dealer since they basically blew me off (twice!) when I asked them about it. Time...

    Black 5.0 rolling shots with RTR's...

    I have the 2010 version of this car. When I first got it I had thoughts of regret that I didn't get a different color, and/or any fancy "Mustang" decals on the sides of the body. But, I gotta say, that now that I've had this car for a while, the "all-black" has grown on me quite a bit...

    How much "stuff" do you carry in your car?

    Geek stuff I work out of town during the week. So on travel days I carry a bunch of stuff. On non-travel days, not very much. On travel days I carry: 1. My suitcase with clothes for the week (trunk). 2. My laptop bag (pretty heavy with geek stuff) (trunk) 3. A Grocery bag with Instant...

    2010 Parking/Hand Brake slips

    So, I took the car into a different dealer and they said that No, my behavior is not normal. The lever does indeed release too easily. In fact, when the brake is on, you can also cause it to release simply by pushing the button without first lifting lightly on the lever. So there is definitely...

    2010 Parking/Hand Brake slips

    Hello All, I've had this problem since I got my car and I'm trying to see if anyone else has this problem. On my car, I have to pull the hand brake all the way up as hard as I can in order to get it to "stay." If I only pull it up partially, any bumping of the brake lever (like when I...

    Billet Fuel Door for 2010??

    I'm mostly interested in finding some kind of a lock mechanism to keep "curious" folks out of my gas! I see that Ford offers a locking "Fuel Plug" for the filler neck. Has anyone bought/used one of these?

    New to the forum

    Hello All, I've just purchased a new (?) 2010 GT Premium and am enjoying the performance! I owned a 1984 GT until child #2 came along and we had to trade the Mustang in for a Taurus (you know how that goes). I've also owned a Ranger in the past and am coming off a VW Golf. I'll...

    2010 purchase advice

    Argetni is right. You're basically buying what is an instant used car. The price seems OK. But since the HAVE to move the 2010, you may still be able to get the price down a bit more. The 0% financing is a MUST for this car. But you should be getting some cash back from Ford as well. I...
