look fellas, its common to all stangs they said. control arm welds, bolt torque spec, bolt tensile spec, etc. rear end gear lap, ring set temper, lubricant out if spec, bad wheel bearing. something along those lines.

Above post probably humorous, but, I thought the brembo-equipped cars don't get temporary spares in the first place? if they do, imagining the cost of one is frightening. not considering buying 2011+ Mustangs, so only keeping a casual eye on them. unless there's a Boss 302 SE (that I could try saving up for) or something else changes to convince me otherwise. oh well, better to do this now then go the F5 route with stick-on brake weights/lollerskates or some other band aid "fix" for what ever the issue may be. leave the "real-world user QC" to Genera- er, Governm- uh, GM.

Guys, the hold is on all cars, not just Brembo equipped ones now. Read through the thread.

This thread needs retitled. Right now there are multiple issues that have come up, and are being dealt with. That's all that can be said, but know that when it is resolved, the cars will sell and we all should be fine.

The good news is, the plugs no longer break.

The bad news is, the heads crack when you remove the plugs.

IS THIS TRUE?????? OR A STUPID RUMOR???

DETROIT—-Ford officials issued a massive recall of the entire 2010 Mustang line Tuesday, apologizing for a quality-control oversight that led to the company manufacturing a badass muscle car that was way too awesome for the American public. "We deeply regret this lapse in judgment and accept full responsibility for the mistake," Ford CEO Alan R. Mulally said standing beside a gorgeous, cherry-red vehicle recalled for being "way too smoking." "After numerous road tests, we've found the car to be a mean, mean ride that Americans are simply not cool enough to handle, and it would be irresponsible of us to allow anyone to get behind the wheel of this killer car. It's truly frightening how sweet the Mustang is." According to Mulally, Ford has canceled production on the 2011 Mustang, and will instead release a line of fuel-efficient vehicles in an effort to appeal to boring old Americans.

i think the plugs breaking is over rated. ive done several 3v spark plugs now, and ive yet to break one.

If you can't tell by the way that is worded that it is then I have some swamp land and a bridge that I'd like to sell you...
