    My GT500 is rusting and Ford doesn't care

    My 07 GT did the same thing just past the 2 year mark. I took it to my dealer (who sold me the car new) and they replaced the hood. The way it went down was I took it to their body shop (behind the service dept) and showed it to the body shop ticket writer. As we were looking at the hood the...

    Not Happy!

    I turn 54 next week, and am on my 4th Mustang, counting the 66 that my Dad taught me how to drive in back in 1970. Grow up? NEVER!

    Steering issue at 75mph

    I had a similar situation with my 1995 GT and it did in fact turn out to be the front rotors. I pulled them and took them to a local machine shop, told them what was happening, and asked them to just cut them the minimum required to true them. It cured the problem. This was after I had a guy...

    tune only?

    I've got the SCT Tuner-only (no CAI) from Brenspeed. It made a world of difference in the performance of the car. Currently running the 93 octane tune (not sure for how much longer). Even the regular octane tune made a huge difference over stock, as it completely eliminates the drive by wire...

    CORROSION!!!

    I had the same thing with my hood in the same spots above each of the headlights. The corrosion started on the underside of the hood but eventually worked its way around to the forward lip of the exterior of the hood and the spots were quite large by the time the hood was eventually replaced...

    got my first ding today :(

    I also swear by paintless dent repair. The first time I used it the guy who did it was my son's little league coach. He worked out of the trunk of his car (SVO Taurus) and was on a set schedule with several new car dealers in the Northern Virginia area. I went by his house one Saturday after a...

    Rust under the hood

    It was me. The problem with the aluminum hood is corrosion. The dealer body shop has since replaced two more Mustang hoods and several Explorer hoods.

    Interior color ?

    Yes I am at Lejeune. I'll be retiring later this spring after almost 30 years and two tours in Iraq. When I got home the local Ford store in Jacksonville ordered me a built to order new GT Conv at factory invoice. If you're a Navy Federal Credit Union member, they will provide you a person at...

    Door rattling - backing plate removal

    I seem to remember nicknaming that the "Kooldawg mod" when you first wrote it up! It worked perfectly for me.

    Interior color ?

    What kind of price are they quoting you through the exchange? The reason I ask is when I priced out a 2006 GT conv over there (both at Taji and the Camp Victory exchanges) the reps there were adding some fees on to the invoice price that drove it up to where it was about halfway between invoice...

    Rust Bubble on Hood

    I took the car by the dealership and was quite surprised by how well I was treated. The guy who does estimates initially looked at the car, then called the manager over who said, "order him a new hood." No phone calls to ford for authorization, etc. Plan is that they paint the hood once it...
