    Blown Motor with 11k miles

    I wont argue that Ford should cover it, only that the responsibility to ensure the vehicle has the correct amount of oil in it belongs to the owner of said vehicle. We've become a society that is so quick to blame somebody else (and I'm not aiming this at the original poster, just in general)...

    More Transmissions problems with my 2012 GT

    The quality of the parts coming out of that plant are designed and manufactured to Getrag's (50% Ford owned IIRC) spec. You can bring the quality to whatever you want, they're building to the customers spec, not something they came up with on their own. If you want to be upset with the tranny...

    Buying a 2012, having 2nd thoughts, need owners input

    Have you tried taking it to another dealer for repair? I know it's probably a pain but it sounds like the relationship between you and your dealer has reached a point where neither one of you wants to deal with the other, at the very least, you have zero confidence in them (or the vehicle).

    My suspension is all stock with the exception of the Pro Kit. The ride is pretty similar to stock.

    When to switch to Synthetic Oil in '12 5.0?

    The only thing not fully synthetic in Mobil 1 is the carrier oil. The base oil is 100% synthetic and has nothing conventional about it.

    Please Post Your Gas Mileage

    This tank of fuel hand calculated to 20.3mpg (87 octane). This is a mix of city/highway (30%/70%) with a fair amount of traffic on the commute home everyday (56 miles 1 way). 1200 miles on the car now.

    Looks great; how is the ride with the Sportlines? I worried it was going to be to close to the bump stops to allow for a nice ride.

    Yes! All the vents are very loud compared to my other vehicles actually.

    Caring for a Pony that accumulates low annual miles?

    It is important to get the engine and trans up to temperature for a period of time to eliminate condensation that may build up internally. I saw a '93 Cobra for sale a couple years back that had ridiculously low mileage and still had the protective plastic bits on the fenders etc. Sure wish I...

    Buying a 2012, having 2nd thoughts, need owners input

    1200 miles (has been like this since I drove it off the lot). Most of the manual trans cars I've had (at least 10 of them now) over the years have had this issue. I dont believe what I'm experiencing is what others are complaining about.

    It isnt bad enough that I would call it a problem at this point.

    Just picked up my 2012 Mustang GT tonight

    I like mine more and more every day. Just broke 1200 miles today and really enjoy the vehicle thus far (do miss the brutal low end grunt of the GTO but the mid/top end charge of the 5.0 is a lot of fun).

    Buying a 2012, having 2nd thoughts, need owners input

    I cant recall any stories of the burning oil, rather being delivered low on oil after service. The 1st gear problems do seem to pop up fairly often (sometimes mine is silky smooth and sometimes not but my T56 was the same way).

    A possible pattern?

    Had an '88 GT with a bajillion miles and never had that issue (though my headlight switch was flakey lol).

    BLOWN UP 2011 5.0

    You're upset with Ford and want to sue them? When did the people of this nation decide the consequences of their actions is automatically the fault of an entity that had absolutely nothing to do with the situation at hand? You and only you are responsible for what has happened to the vehicle...

    HVAC question

    Consistent with the 2012 too. If you select defrost it blows considerably harder from the defrost vents.
