Consumers Report & Mustang.
Received the 2006 Consumers Report today. Page 202 gives the ratings for their "reliabilty verdict" on Ford Mustangs for the years 1997 to 2004.
CR rates the 98,99,02 & 04 as "above average reliabilty overall", and the 97,00,01 & 03 as "average reliabilty". None were rated as "below average ". (As with GM auto's). The monthly edition for April 2005 CR stated the 2004 Mustang was the best car built in North America. My 04 GT vert has never been back to the dealer for anything. I've used synthetic oil since new (I change it). No mods except MT's SCTX2 tune. What's your opinion about CR conclusions? |
Ive got an 01. Only real problem ive had with it was pinging.. and that was because of a dirty k&n filter. My tie rods squeek too but thats from lowering it. Its never caused me a problem to where ive had to take it in.
|
**** im guna trade mine in for an 04.
|
An 03 here with only one problem so far.The backup switch for the reverse lights went out thats it.
|
Yeah, that about sums it up. My badass black 2004 GT is without out a doubt the best car built in america. ROFL

really???? hmm, i wonder if they have another one for a very small rattle in the back end??? like around the rear speakers??
|
98, nothings wrong other than the squeek sounds and over bumps...never took to shop other than brakes (since car is older...) other than that, no real problems..
(this chick i was talking to 2day said that HONDAS > FORD because fords are "POS" and always break down she says...rofl i blocked her on AIM -she isnt good looking either...and said stangs r gay-) |
I love my mustang, but the next car i'm getting will definately be a chevy. Either a good low mileage 200+ trans am ram air, ss or maybe a low priced FRC vette. I have fallen in love with the cams available for ls1's.. :cool:
|
I had a rear main oil seal that was leaking, they took care of that.
my only problem is i have some sort of a grounding issue on the mach1000. sometimes when i turn it on i can her this "wirrrrrr" that follows pitch as the engine revs. <rofl> |
2002 GT here. Had seat belt retractors replaced. Old Mach 1000 liked to eat CDs and was replaced with a brand new head unit, but I gutted that whole system for aftermarket. I Have a few squeeks and rattles. Other than that, trouble free.
