The gas fill up is definitely weird. I have an Esso station I have to turn the nozzle upside down at 11 o'clock and fills up no problem, otherwise it stops at 3/4 full. But another Esso station all the pumps work fine. Also, the break reservoir cap is an issue with 05 and 06, not sure about '07. I took about 1/2" of fluid out of my reservoir and haven't had it leak since. I also had the clunk sound in the front passenger side. I don't think anyone has figured that one out. Mine went away when I swapped out my suspension. Other than that I haven't had any problems and I'm at one year and 16.5k.

Yes, the 2007 brake fluid on my cap is leaking...I added the washer behind the rubber and it is fine...You would have thought Ford would have corrected that problem by now....Other than that, I Love my Mustang...

And that is such a simple thing for them to fix, too. There's absolutely NO excuse for the '07s to still have that problem. It says loud and clear: "We don't care."

Right there >> that's PRECISELY the sort of thing that leads me to believe that it's still fundamentally "business as usual" at Ford. Despite all the Bold Moves marketing rhetoric one gets the impression that management is still more concerned with cost-cutting than quality.

This is basic stuff we're talking here >> core competencies when it comes to manufacturing.
NO '07s should have leaking brake fluid caps!
If Mulally can't address the fundamentals like these before the end of next year - and exterminate the beancounter permeation in all facets of production - he might as well pack up and go home, because all his other efforts will be for naught.

TRW is a tier 1 automotive supplier that specializes in brake systems and other safety systems: http://www.trw.com
You can find their logo on almost all the brake parts on the S-197 GT: ABS pump, vacuum brake booster sticker, calipers, master cylinder fluid reservoir, etc... I just assumed they would make the or source out the caps as well and they ought to hear directly from an end-user customer.
