Update! Just wanted to update on this. Took it in to the dealer, they needed to reprogram the radio so the the buttons (as well as a couple other functions) would illuminate. Apparanty, when I had the CD changer replaced, they ddin't receive the notice from Ford that they had to do this as...

Thanks! Thanks for getting back to me on this. I have driven the Mustang about a handful of times in the past 3 or so months, due to the winter weather and I just couldn't remember if the damn buttons lit up :) Thanks again. Eric

Ok, kinda a stupid question but I'm hoping someone can confirm something for me. I had my Shaker 1000 cd changer replaced due to the skipping issue. However, I just now noticed while driving at night that the letters on the radio buttons do not illuminate when the lights are on. The only...

Well, since you mentioned it...the dealer I took mine to (the dealer I purchased from) took mine on a 30 - 40 mile "test drive" for a problem that centered around a "popping noise while turning at low speeds". I was livid. I think if it's a "blue oval" certified dealer, they're probably...

It was more like a single pop. Sounded kind of "clunky". Wasn't exactly when the wheel was turned ALL the way, though.

It was my every day driver until I purchased a used Explorer which I'll be driving in bad weather. AWD so I shouldn't have any trouble in the snow :) For now, I drive it on really nice sunny days.

Owner1, did you get your CD skip fixed? This is also a known issue and there is a TSB on it as well. Go to dealer, the removal of the radio isn't that severe so it shouldn't be a rip-apart-the-dash-completely-to-fix kind of thing. My dealer took my radio out, got the part number off the CD...

Well, I was going to attempt wrapping some electrical tape around the connection to help cushion it. Again, this is just what I think may be the cause, so I could be wrong.

The only problems I've had on my '05 is the popping noise while turning at low speeds (fixed by replacing front strut assembly) and the Shaker 1000 6 DISC CD Changer skipped sporadically. That and being rear-ended... :mad:

Does it sound more metal-esque than plasticy? I have one that comes from the right side somewhere near / in the glove box area. I *THINK* I discovered what might be causing it but it's so sporadic I keep forgetting to try to fix it. I'm usually driving and hear it when I remember I need to...

:nonono: WOW, that sucks. That really puts mine into perspective...

Ditto, Big-Foot!!! I had the Mustang for four months and never noticed the mold lines or rounded corner. However, since I was rear-ended and the bumper had been replaced, I was looking it over with a fine toothed comb and noticed it. I had already had a bad taste in my mouth with these guys...

Really?!?! Well, hell. The corners on the V6 are much less rounded, and match up to the sheet metal better. I just didn't remember the corners being that round before. What about "mold lines"? Do you see where the corners aren't smooth? Perhaps I'm being too picky!?!?

I need your help. I was recently rear-ended in my '05 Mustang GT ( :damnit: !!!). So I took it to the dealership that I purchased it from do to the repairs. I figured a FORD dealership would be the best place. All-in-all, the damage wasn't THAT bad. The bumper definitely needed to be...

Yes, you won't find an '05 GT sitting on any lots that aren't already ordered for someone. I believe they've already cut off production of the '05 so anything ordered now would be an '06. At least this is what a dealer told me. I lucked out and found an '05 GT that the sales manager was...

I don't have to use the highway to get to work so most of my driving is side roads. I'm averaging 17.8 right now.

I took mine in earlier this week with the TSB for the front end. Thanks to karazuba for posting the pdf. Unfortunately, I think they took it for a joy ride. I forgot to write down the exact mileage, but when I dropped if off to them I had a quarter tank and when I picked it up I had an eight...
