Major problems are the ones on these boards: Gas tank filling, struts, audio system, etc.

So far..I have had no problems with my 2006 V6. But I only have about 300 miles on the car.

3,000 miles no trouble, but I took it in for a loose brake pedal, and they replaced the front struts????? I fixed the pedal myself

Unless you count a loose interior panel, mine doesn't even rattle- yet. :P

PS, I fixed the panel by pushing the clip into place. About a .25 second fix.

Nada...0...nothing. 1450 miles, not many but it's only been 1.5 months. Plus it's a very late 05, so I think they got all the kinks out.

Another friend of mine got her 05 GT early and had a few minor common issues that the dealer took care of, she only has 3000 miles on it.

I am going to ask them to align the hood at the 3000 mile check-up. It's a little lower on the driver's side. Other than that the fit and finish is very good. it seems incredibly solid.

BTW it just took a couple of twists of the hood bumper. 8000 miles now.

Vibration in steering from 50-80mph. car bounces rapidly on highway, just enough to make me sick. Drivers door won't open from outside. Speedo reads 4mph fast. It has been at the dealer for 2 days so far. See my topic my limer is in the shop.

2005 Mustang GT-Sonic Blue. Built 7/21/05 and not a single problem after 2300+ miles. Nothings sounds loose, no gas tank problems and Shaker 500 actually works (skipped once).

4600 miles thus far.

Only thing I took her in for was a door rattle that annoyed the heck out of me. Nothing major, though.
