1997 Ford Mustang 3.8 V6

Summary:

Runs good, looks great, crappy dealer service, expensive insurance

Faults:

Air conditioning quit in 1st 6 months. Took 6 trips to our dealer and 4 more trips to another dealer to get repaired.

Since new to present:

Antilock brakes grind, shake, and do not stop very well. Have been to 7 different dealerships numerous times, none have been able to repair this. Vehicle is now out of warranty and have gotten the lifetime brake plan from Midas. They have not been able to solve this problem either. Antitheft device has left us stranded on numerous occasions.

Engine runs good and economically for its size. This one sure looks good but I think my 89 Ford Taurus that I traded in for this one was a far better car.

General Comments:

I am currently looking at a VW Jetta TDI, it is faster and more economical plus insurance is much cheaper. However I will miss the head turning looks of the Mustang.

Power seat switch broke twice.

Great car.... could use more seat travel as both seats do not go back far enough for taller people.

Nothing, which is great.

Great car, the front seats need to be more supportive for the more spirited driving which is done in this car.

1997 Ford Mustang GT 4.6 SOHC

Faults:

Power steering line and power seat were fixed under warranty. Trans grinds once in a while, dealer says its fine. Clearcoat on 17" rims cracking, dealer says it's my fault. Foglite has a water leak, burned out. Clutch is loose sometimes, convertible top is wearing out in a small spot near a crease.

General Comments:

I love driving the car, especially with the top down, it handles well for stock suspension, has a nice rumble, but the dealers are the biggest hassle. They are not easy to deal with and make me sick sometimes. Beware, many T45 transmissions grind due to weak synchros, not too good for a muscle/sports car.
