Wow...will have to look at mine tomorrow! Job 1 that was one of the first ones delivered...already put 5000 miles on mine and no complaints so far.

Hard to believe the build quality can be this big on an issue in this day and age. How hard can it be to make a computer controlled machine line stuff up perfectly? Why does my 16000 Scion Xb have tighter panels than my 42000 ford mustang? because mustang that's why!

I have noticed a lot of newer Fords along the last few years having a lot of orange peel .

I have the recaros and color accent package and my shifter boot has the white thread while my e-brake has the black.

When i bought my 2012 back in 2011 i looked it over and found no issues like these....its just totally unacceptable to me regardless of the fact its the 1st run of the new model. these cars are leaving the plant like this, what are the quality control guys doing? ...every one of these cars shown should have been fixed before they left the plant!

Anybody with mechanical issues yet? I noticed with my mt82 when I am at a stop, clutch pressed to the floor, when I put it into gear it's a loud hard thunk and it seems like the car wants to move forward.

I don't have time to get into it right now, but that is normal.

Definitely normal ^

Ironically, the 2014 MT82 cars are some of the clunkingnest Mustangs I have driven. In stock form, they have got some serious driveline clunks.

At least they don't raffle like a Fox body.


If you really want to know what going on I'm going to tell you the truth and the truth hurts ! There are people now assembling these cars that are making 12.67 an hour at the base or starting pay . For that kind of money do you really think that they give a shit ? Ford and the unions caused this problem !

People that work at In and out Hamburgers that I know make more than that ! If you think its going to get any better in the coming years your fooling your self. Just on a side note GM with there Camaros are just as bad as Ford in the assembly and QC departments.

I just saw out in in southern California at one of the Honda plants they are hiring for sub assembly and production line for 12.43 an hour (lol) Once again in life you pay for what you get so if all these manufactures want to low ball there employees well this is the shit your going to get in return .

And as always have a nice day !

I have the accent group as well in my 15 Premium my seat, dash, and shift boot stitching is grey, my ebrake boot and steering wheel are black.

In this video it clearly shows the steering wheel and parking brake have the matching stitching.
