14200 miles on mine. I have had a ton of issues with my car and still do. I will most likely be selling it once the basic warranty is up. I'm definitely the black sheep in here but this car has been the biggest pain in the *** to own. I will say the powertrain has been solid minus the pinion seal leak.

It stinks to because I love everything about this car. The looks, the stance, the power, the modabiltity... Wish it wasn't in the shop every month.

Yeah, I'm certainly not worrying about the miles. What I worry about it salt and car eating craters we refer to as "pot holes".

You're right that the power train will make to to 250k miles, but the body wont. Every vehicle I've owned has rusted severely after 10 Michigan winters. The motors were still in decent shape though. I just noticed a hanger under the bottom of my winter car which is no longer attached to anything. I wonder what rusted and fell off? Oh well, must have not been important.

Engine misfire x2
Water sloshing in quarter panel x3
Diff tube leak
Pinion seal leaking Differential fluid
Radio screen delamination
Hood painted due to paint bubbling x2
Trunk Decklid rubbing on bumper x2
Suspension noise over bumps x4
Clutch stay out
Stabilitrak goes nuts when it wants to

I filed a lemon law but I settled with Ford out of court. I'm waiting to get back into the dealership to get a couple of those issues fixed. We will see what they do. The ball is in their court now.

I hear ya. My 2010 Gt had some problems.

1. The sway bar snapped.
2. The rack pinion steering had to be replaced.
3. The transmission mounts had to be adjusted a few times.
4. One of the rear shocks started leaking and had to be replaced.
5. The engine 'rattled' when pressing on the gas.

All of this before 40k miles and I had the dreaded "2010 Mustang GT" Still loved the car though as it was my first mustang.

This one I have had no such issues so far.

Bought my 2011 RTR about a year ago from a small high-end dealership. Car only had 15K on the odometer. 1 owner, who I guess just drove it on the weekends. Dealership owner said he traded it in for a lifted, supercharged truck...go figure. Its my DD now, and just turned 20K. Only issue I've had so far is a cracked rotor(the car came with cross drilled rotors). Also, a temperamental 3-4 gear exchange...but that seems to be common with these cars.

Got my '13 with 3 miles on the clock. Just over 33000 now. Bolt ons and 7500 RPM red-line. Motor has never had a hiccup. Some minor warranty claims but nothing crazy. Love the car still.

I'm right there with you. New England is tough on roads in the winter. It'll be April before my car sees sunlight.

I have 51891 on my 2012 I bought in 2012. She was used with 5800 on the odometer why I picked her up. Only minor claims issues. Loose trim, loose grill. I did have a problem with my rear sway bar links. I don't see that as a repair, I think it was my car asking for new sway bars. I couldn't say no. That would be rude.

2013 Grabber Blue Base Model GT bought on February 2013 with 4778 miles. Lady owned it, she traded it for a focus ( family car ) after her and husband went trough a divorce... I guess it was faith I must say... Since I was not even planning on buying that day. But hey good things do happen, "Grouchy" has 27328 miles.. Been to Cali, All over AZ, and few other places.. Love the car been putting a lot of parts on it, and cant wait for a TUNE and a Power adder. Speaking of high milage my sn95 97 GT has about 170K still on original motor

Anyone getting close to 100k yet? I would think someone who bought theirs in 2010 and drives 20k a year would be really close about now.
2013 GT, bought with 1500 miles in April of 2014 and it currently has 5100 miles on it. Can't wait for Winter to be over with!
