You need to write a nasty letter to Roush.
I Bought My Roush Mustang Brandy Spanking New Back In September Of 2005, And Ever Since I've Had Nothing But Trouble....so I Woke Up One Fine Morning Last Week, And You Know What I Did!?!?!? I Wrote A Nasty Letter To Ford, And Traded My Stang In For A Viper....although I Love Mustangs And The New Body Styles, I Couldn't Put Up With The Problems Anymore......i Hope No One Else Has Gone Through This Experience, And If They Have, Im Sorry To Hear It......

so im guessing that, everytime you buy a vehicle that will have problems, your gonna trade it in? ive had several issues with mine but manned up and got them fixed. i mean, problems WILL happen with cars. im sure a viper wont be any cheaper to get things fixed.

Have an 05 Roush myself, and Daily Drive it - no problems thus far except for a few Elective things I have brought her in to the shop for.
A rule of dependability we have is that if anything major is going to go wrong with a car, it typically happens within the first 13K miles.
I would suggest also, to write Roush and explain what happened. Albeit you have a different car now; it would bring to Roush your concerns and air out the issue.

Fact of life:Can't please all of the people all of the time ! Some you don't want to please at the best of times . I spent sometime as an employee of a dealership in 1965 ,when it all started and a couple of years after 2000 . Ever hear,"what comes around ,goes around " ? Treat dealers like crap and often you get the same in return.

Hey guys ,we don't know what he went through with the Roush. I tell you what .if I had a ton of problems with a brand new expensive car, I would be ****ed too. give the guy the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully,he'll respond w/ the problems he had. Just cuz we love Fords,doesn't mean we should excuse every problem that occurs..Just a thought

+1 I would not sit around and wait for him to reply either, as of all the threads I have come across by him he never replys in his own posts. Oh well, best of luck with the Viper (thats one hell of a price difference) I met a guy at an exhaust shop who owns one, his opinion on them? Good on the track, **** for comfort and real road driving.

WOW!!i didnt realize i was gonna get that much feed back, i havent really had time to log on, so sorry about not responding....well i bought an 06 viper and the letter, i wrote to ford, because as one of you said roush only warranties the parts the install, and i think i was a comination of the car and the service itself...it had a lot of rattling, ticking from the engine, it would crap out on me if i didnt warm it up for like a half hour, and these are just some of the problems i had and i was angry that i spent nearly $50000 on the car and it had all these problems!!but i still love mustangs and they are undoubtedly one of the hottest cars on the road, and maybe when the 2009's come out ill be on it,and i do still have the car, im just contemplating whether or not to give it to my little brother to keep making the payments on, or just straight up selling it(which would be ashame because the car is sooo **** beautiful, and even after all the problems it will hurt to see it go) but for now here is a pic of the viper, more to come, i only had time to upload 1....

sorry you feel that way. Yes, the cars have some rattles, which as far as I know, Ford fixes them when you point them out. Second, the ticking noise is 2 fold since they are things people have complained since day one. A/C clutch is loud and so are the injectors. If that isn't the noise you are complaining about, please let us know what it was. As for it crapping out, since Roush flashes the ECM, it could easily be their fault not Fords.
All I know is I am a bit confused. Your first post says
"I Wrote A Nasty Letter To Ford, And Traded My Stang In For A Viper.."
Then your second post says
"and i do still have the car, im just contemplating whether or not to give it to my little brother to keep making the payments on, or just straight up selling it"
So how did you trade it in and also keep it
