Let's see, I've had the rear end replaced, squeaky brakes addressed (twice), my passenger airbag cover doesn't quite fit flush, and my front suspension makes popping noises. Oh yeah, and the odd rattle or two. Still love the car and have no regrets. I expected problems for a new model but they've all been relatively minor. The car still rocks. BTW, the V6 rocks too, don't let anybody tell you any different.

Stupid pop and brakes!

Mine will be going in soon for the gas tank ,skippy 500 radio,missing trany bolts , squeeky brakes and tick tick air.All covered by ford and it is a first year car so i have to expect something , but as for the running,performance and good all round looks this car can't be beat .I'm sure all of us have had at least 1 person come up to them and ask about there car so it can't be that bad .

Just buy the most that you want and can afford as long as it's a Mustang and enjoy.

No problems with ours yet, but only just put in the 2nd tank of gas. At least the fuel tank doesn't seem to be an issue.

My car is fully loaded except for the Shaker. I've had it since Friday and have had no problems.

You will always have some problems with a completely new car. I had to have the shaker and the gas tank replaced. But it didn't bother me one bit. My car is completely reliable, fun to drive and extremely comfortble. Plus, my dealer has made me completely confident that all will be made well in time. I don't have any regrets now that I have my car. The only real complaint I ever had was the runaround I got trying to get it delivered.

The only issues I have had so far is the gas tank (which has been replaced already) and the strut mount popping (which will be fixed soon)
As far as I'm aware struts and gas tank aren't options
