Bought November 30 2004, was a daily driver up until July, when I also got a 4x4 ranger for winter driving. I've driven my GT on the Ice and Snow last winter. Has had many of the frequently mentioned quality probs (Shaker, Brakes, Fuel Tank) but all have been fixed by dealer. Holding up good so far! 8k miles. I'll prob only put a couple thousand more miles on it by the end of the winter, lol.
Still looks HOT, nothing out there even comes close in the looks dept

someone needs to pimp my ass
My 05 is in the shop for the third time for a automatic transmission leak. First time Ford said some cars were overfilled from factory and were discharging so they drained some oil out and sent me on my way. Well a puddle appeared on the floor of the garage. Took it back for the second time Ford said it could be a bad solonoid valve they relaced it and sent me on my way again. Couple of months go by did a little hard driving and what do you know the puddle reappears back on the floor so back to the dealership I go. This time they are going to replace a valve body in the transmission at least that's what I thought they said I'll know better tomorrow.
One other problem I found was rear brake calibur was leaking and had to be replaced.
Also the front of the leather seats near the floor leather had become disconnected from seat there is a TSB out for this I have a friend with a 05 with the same problem here is the TSB #

8k miles and zero problems except the fuel tank issue which I haven't had fixed yet. I beat the piss out of this car since day 1. I had the front popping noise but that went away when I lowered it.
15k miles turned this morning. No serious issues but the normal fuel tank and suspension squeak have not had time to get either fixed yet.

Build date 12/04
6.5k miles
Has occassional front end clunk.
Brakes squeek (has not been serviced yet)
Engine has a bit of mechanical noise when hot but not bad.
Transmission shifts a little strange (notchy) when cold.
Rear window defogger push-button light is burned out.
Fuel tank fill issue (un-resolved - but I can deal with it)
No rattles (very strange for a Mustang)
Leather seats are holding up very well with no discernable wear.
Overall - I would rate the car a 9 of 10 in terms of satisfaction and expectation.

This all varies by State, and generally there's more than "3 strikes and it's out" in the Lemon Laws. Usually there's an amount of days that it's been unavailable as well, but again this varies. It can also depend on the severity of the issue. A transmission that doesn't work is one thing, a squeak is another, etc.

Hopefully they can resolve the problem I am just getting the car the way I want it of course minus the leak. Too much money invested in the car . I am pretty sure they can get this figured out. They are replacing the valve body which from what I was told is like the processor for the transmission.

Mine is a December build car. Had a number of the tsb's done to it but other wise no problems almost 10k.
Still loave it as much as the first day I got it.

25,XXX on her now, had the strut bearing TSB done a long time a go, currently got a rattle near the glove box that I can't find since I'm usually the only one in the car and its all the way over there out of reach. Wouldn't be so annoying if the car wasn't so rattle and road noise free in general.
