Has random stalling upon braking. If you keep it in gear it will keep the engine alive, but with clutch depressed or not in gear it will just die. Sometimes will happen 1-2 a day, sometimes once in a week.
Has random starting problems. Will take 2-3 tries to get it started and then will run fine.
Has howling coming from behind glove box. First ford said they couldn't hear it. Then it was the windshield cowl being replaced. Now they think some body seals may not be done properly.
It's a great car. I love driving it.
But I'm at 26500 miles and its my second set of rear tires, will soon be 3rd set of front pad. And I'll be getting new slotted and drilled rotors all around. Maybe its the racing. But I go through this stuff fast.
Dear Sirs, or, to whom it may concern,
26,500 miles and 3rd set of tires and now soon to be 3rd set of brake pads...hummmmm.Don't race so much, you're fixing to blow an engine and it won't be the manufactures fault.However, no doubt it's a car great to drive, I can understand the temptation of racing a Camero. If you do race, allow yourself enough stopping distance to save on brakes to slow down. Burning rubber can be expensive as well, not to mention road conditions that will totally shake the car apart, and I mean any car, including that nice Bullit. Be safe.I hope to get mine soon. A.V.W.
I believe the answer to the question about original tires for the "01 Bullitt" would be 245/40 Goodyear Gatorbacks. My #2642 had these on when I bought it in Dec. 07 at 29650 miles. They didn't wear well. I put BFG g force super sport A/F 245/40zr17 on it; handles water and light snow well. I know it should have been in the heated garage, but I couldn't resist. I hope this helps somewhat. Farmer Mike.
