Just curious, but why would Ford take their '05 Mustang to them for vibrations of the driveshaft and not work on it in house...

I agree they would deal with it in house and not at a mom and pop mechanics garage. When did you see this Mustang there? If it was a problem like that in the engine they would have taken precautions in looking for that way before production began. This is why you see so many pre production models out on the highways and streets of Michigan and other parts of the country. Just my opinion but it makes sense.

Michigan :notnice:

That was just a GM driver shaking in fear as he drove the Mustang for the first time :cry:

Actually, I wouldn't discredit this too quicly. I knew of several Mustang drivers experiencing vibration. Fortunately, if it is the driveshaft, all you need to do is tighten the bolts down there really tight. I know because it's happened to me twice.

No way.

They've been testing these cars in real world situations for what? A year now? And they're just NOW addressing the problem? Sorry, nope, not true. They've already worked out all known problems. They definitely don't want a recall, and they've invested millions into quality assurance.

The bigger BS is that it's happening at some shop outside Ford.

8 posts so far, and you drop this one on us? CURIOUS.

I agree. If it was problem found by Ford QA people, they'd be looking at it in AAI. If somehow this were a customers car, it'd be worked on at Ford dealer under warranty.

Yeah, if Ford is soo hush hush about everything, why would that take it outside with problems.

Wait till BON gets a hold of this tid-bit.

BON's headline will be "Ford has stop production on all 2005 Mustangs due to a Axle defect which could possibly Explode into thousand of razor sharp killer androids"

Since I'm waiting on a rag top, if this is a problem, it should be fixed before mine is delivered.

Especially with the Mustang GT, the driveshaft itself should not experience vibration.

Becuase it is now a 2-piece design on the GT, the rotational speed at which vibration occours is much higher than what you can get on public roads.
