2001 Ford Mustang Cobra review from North America
"Hot and sexy on the outside, old and halfway dead on the inside"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Loud Ticking noise coming from the engine.
Loose drivers seat.
Wind noise, my car is a coupe!
Molding is warped in several locations.
General comments?
This is my 5th mustang, 2nd Cobra, up until now, they have all been great!
My car has been in the dealer now for the engine ticking noise for almost two weeks, their first attempt was one week, they said nothing is wrong.
The Service Advisor told me they are going to replace the lifters, as far as I can find out, this engine does not have lifters!
I feel Ford does not know what is wrong with my car, and because I am a woman, they are trying to tell me anything to shut me up.
Other Cobra owners I have spoke with have also had engine problems, on their 99's and 2001's.
