I would say that I'm surprised but I'm not. It's usually not advisable to purchase a vehicle the first year it's completely redone from the ground up. Too many damn bugs to work out. I only beta test software... not automobiles.

I can't believe this story keeps cropping up. It's ! Check out this thread on Brad's Mustang site:

http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index.php?showtopic=5279&st=240

The last post on this page is from an employee at AAI (where they're making the '05s) and he answers the question about engine problems and production stoppages. Quit wasting you time on Blue Oval News!. Robert Lane (the owner of BON) has a grudge against Ford and tries to smear them any chance he gets.
