Losing Louie said:Forgive my ignorance, but are you saying that the Mustang is not made by the UAW? Did Ford actually outsoruce the new Mustang? Is that how they built it so cheap? Who the heck is AAI? http://wardsauto.com/ar/auto_ford_marks_million/
Thanks, L.L.
I'm sure there were, but the question is how many weren't caused by abuse.REDFIRE 05 GT said:were there a significant number of 04 GT's that had tranny failure?

not the right place to post arguements,Bottom line is that they are Autoalliance plant,TomServo92 said:AAI is Auto Alliance Inc. It is a Ford-Mazda jointly owned plant (interesting that it's "jointly owned" since Ford is the primary owner of Mazda). The plant also built the last gen Mercury Cougar. The plant is UAW. The Rouge plant (where the Mustang was previously built) has been renovated and the workers who previously built the Mustang will be building other Ford products such as the new F150.

Wow, you work for Ford or something? You seem kinda sensitive.hotmustang331 said:And what exactly is that supposed to mean!Are you some honda or chevy owner?
If you read my post again, you will see that I said because it is a carryover from last year, I would not expect there to be a lot of problems. Meaning what ShadyRascal experienced is probably a fluke.The tranny that is carried over is pretty darn tough, nothing wrong with it, its the 01-03 3650s that had the shifting problems, but that was fixed in 04, probably so they wouldnt have any faulty trannies carried over to the 05 models.
Listen your not a autoworker and you dont get the info i get from the UAW.Id be happy to send you the info from the UAW, Newsleter and tell me why they say what they do.IM carrying over what i read.,there are ford workers who lost there job at original plants who were offered a job there ,Thats why Visteon workers are there also,Just like a said in beginning mazdas are made there and the ford probe,Did you ever try to buy parts for a probe??The plant is effient yes ,Its up to date and ford dumps lots of money into it to make it up to date.But it isnt the same as a fordplant.Its only affilaited with ford,and ford partionally owned.TomServo92 said:So what? It's still a Ford plant and the workers are UAW. Bottom line is you don't know what you're talking about.

And as for tranny i havent heard any problems .And yes cant wait to get my mustang !!
TomServo92 said:Yes, I owned an 89 Probe and currently own an 04 Mazda 6. Never had a problem getting parts for either. However, I'm not sure what that has to do with the Mustang being built at AAI.Say what you will, it's still built in a Ford plant in the USA by UAW workers and not in a plant in Mexico or Canada (which could very well have happened).
QCStang said:What's wrong with vehicles built in Canada
All cars built in Canada are built by UAW workers, just like the Windsor engines (remember those?)
RAT said:Nothing is wrong with cars built in Canada.
He was saying when Ford shut down the plant (where the stang was built) they could have movedit to Canada or Mexico... out of the USA ... USA workers out of a job... okie dokie??
