    Spoiler options

    Mine has the stock spoiler but I will order the next one without it. I think the new Stangs look much cleaner and retro minus the spoiler. Just my 2 cents.

    Very Disappointed, Diguisted, etc....

    I absolutely agree. It isn't the way to do business, but it is a fact of life for the big 3. As hard as it to say, the Japanese have us beat hands down in initial and continuing quality. Just look at the sales figures for Toyota. They have slolen the thunder from the big 3 and there seems to be...

    Hood shake problem build dates

    I raised the stops already but that doesn't help. The shake continues even though there is absolutely no play after the hood is closed.

    Hood shake problem build dates

    Agreed. Its the how and when that bothers me. Maybe an adjustment to the hood latching mechanism is the answer.

    Tree Sap Attack!!

    I'd be cautious about using GooGone. Its pretty strong stuff and might damage the paint. :shrug:

    Hood shake problem build dates

    Yep. A TSB would be a great start and would give the dealers some guidance about what to adjust and how much. My dealer is clueless.

    Hood shake problem build dates

    Its interesting that so many people are not experiencing the hood shaking problem. It seems more and more likely that the hoods that do shake were mis-adjusted at the factory. My dealer can't seem to fix it though.

    Hood shake problem build dates

    Thanks for the link. What I'm really trying to find out is if Ford has fixed the problem on later build dates.

    Hood shake problem build dates

    My GT was built in December and I have the famous hood shaking problem starting at about 70 MPH or in strong winds. Anyone with a later build date NOT experiencing the same problem?

    Undercoating, should I or not?

    I agree with the others. There is no need to undercoat unless you drive in snow country (salt).

    Brand New 2005 GT with Rusty Brakes?

    The brake rust is normal. Buy it and drive it like you stole it. :)

    brakes squeak

    I take the Stang to a full service car wash because of a heart condition. They just use soap and high pressure water on the wheels.

    brakes squeak

    No brake noises here at 4500 miles. Very strange. :shrug:

    Strut Bearings replaced

    Mike, you might want to give the dealer a copy of the TSB. Its floating around the forum in several posts.

    For those with lowered Mustangs...

    Agreed. I have the Falken FK451s also but am not having any problems (255/18 fronts, 275/18 rears). Sounds like you may have a slightly out-of-round tire.

    Anyone have their gas tank replaced under the TSB?

    I had my tank replaced about 2 months ago and have had no problems since.
