MissBlondie said:I think every car is different. I've had starting issues from day one. If I run my car and shut it off for a couple minutes, and then try to start it up again, I'd say 50% of the time it starts hard. Ford can't mock the problem, and can't fix it at this point. Other than having my front end taken off this past weekend, I've had no other issues really.

bla bla bla intake gasket bla bla bla oil leak bla bla bla warped block. never got a straight answer from ford on what went wrong exactly.
only other things really is my windshield developed a small leak at the top, which they fixed.. and the little rubber piece on the drivers side door jamb refuses to stay in place and makes the door hard to shut.

Where you going WOT? no rev-limiter, etc...
triggz said:couldnt tell you why it happened. it started knocking (over the stereo) when i came to a stop sign, i'd put about 30 easy normal driving miles on it that morning. rev limiter is stock, safely tuned for 93 octane it was running.
hadn't beat on it any time recently. i got into a little water on a flooded road a few thousand miles back, but i dont see it taking that long to effect it. it never stalled or acted funny and i ran some seafoam through it to eliminate moisture and changed the oil almost immediately.
ford took it as a defect from the start, never questioned me and they had to replace the whole motor. must've been a factory flaw.
triggz said:advanced timing to take advantage of the slow burning fuel for a better combustion cycle.
(thats right, its not good to run premium fuel on a stock car).

Seraphitia102 said:I am normally a Toyota person, who owned a 95 Toyota Previa for 10 years without one single breakdown. I just happen to want a Mustang GT Convertible so I recently purchased a 2001 used Mustang GT Convertible with 35,038 miles on it, and I was wondering at what mileage did you experience a problem (if any)?
It's not that I'm trying to question Ford's reliability rating, but I can't help it since my dad told me not to get a Ford because his last 2 Mustangs died out on him.
