The 05 Recall on Mustangs
- Thread starter sonicboom141
- Start date
Damm...Already.That sucks...
didnt they already have another car that had a mass recall...this started off as a bad year it seems.
I never have liked them. When I went to the dealership looking for a Cobra the guy tried to get me in one, and he wouldn't leave me alone about it.
It does suck, though, because a LOT of America was really geared up about them.

Yes, they do. I wonder how the company is financially. Mitsubishi is releasing a new Eclipse soon.. if that flops Mitsu will for sure go under.
A company can only !@$% up so many times.. but Ford, I don't know, they've been around for a long time.

I've said this once, I'll say it again. Here's my comment on another thread about the future Cobra.
My guess is Ford nor Carrol Shelby will create a "Cobra". The plug will be pulled on both vehicles. They are NOT bread winners by any means. And two years from now, "money" will be even more important than now. And right now, it's EVERYTHING. 2 out of the 3 SVT vehicles are already dead. That's enough for me to be realistic about the next "Cobra" and it's demise. Yea, I'm the "doom" guy.

Add: NO ONE knows how big this recall is. I sure the hell hope it doesn't affect every Mustang GT. I would want a refund if I bought one and they want to replace the heads so soon. Let alone the engine. Don't know how accurate this info is from Blue Oval News, but if it's even partially correct it's bad. New cars of course do have recalls, but it's not like this engine is totally new to Ford. No matter, this is not good and I feel for anyone new owner that has to go through this potential recall.

I don't think there is a manufacturer that produces a flawless car. Recalls and TSB's cover every make and model.

If its a defective head causing the compression issues, can't they just slap a new head on at the dealer then give them a free bottle of touch up paint for their trouble? epper:

PLEASE do not belive everything that you read on BON. They will post anything negative that they find on Ford with little to no investigation. Just take what you see over there as a rumor that hasen't yet been proven.
Oops!!!
i dont think this is true, has anyone seen this from ford?
BS .... BON BS that is ....

I think its more accurate to call it a bit over dramatized.
Supposedly they caught most before they got into customer hands but a few got out. No big deal a manufacturing defect they caught and now are taking care of it. Let me say that it is defenitely not they only issue they are working on right now.
I will ask around and look into it today at work but so far have not heard of it. And I know that if it's true it will suck and look bad, but no car is perfect and this is something pretty new to Ford. So at least they caught on to it now and are taking care of it.
