2002 Ford Mustang GT from North America - Comments

This car idles roughly which seems to stop if you turn on the air conditioner. It dies occassionly at stop signs, and even in neutral. (not my driving)

Knocks when steering wheel turns at times.

Weather stripping already replaced and my car is garaged.

Bolts were never put on rear end which caused rattles and knocks.fixed.

This car is a lemon. When I took it to be fixed at the dealership, it couldn't be fixed. They said the engineers were working on it. That was on day 29 of ownership. Apparently this problem exists on 2002-2003 mustang gt standard trans. a common problem. They are aware of it, but don't know how to fix it. They should keep their cars until a solution is found. I want them to take it back.

I have the same problem with my Mustang! It is terrible, it idles so rough. I have brought it to the dealer 14 times, they can't find the TRUE problem. My check engine light has come on 5 times! If that is not bad enough, the dealer scratched my front bumper while it was in the shop and tried to give me my car back without telling me about the scratch that ran across 3/4 of my bumper! They did a "quick fix" on the bumper, it looked horrible. They got upset that I asked them to fix it right. The service manager questioned that they even caused the scratched! (maybe they should take a picture of my car each time it goes in the shop) I will never buy another Ford.

I have the same problems with my 2003 GT convertible which I purchased new in November 2003. It also takes 3 attempts to start it when the engine is already hot. Most annoying thing is a "clunking" sound that neither I nor my dealer can pin point. They say it is normal when the A/C cuts in and out... but it is so loud it is NOT normal and it also happens when the A/C isn't even on! The clunking sound sometimes happens when I take my foot off the brake (auto transmission) at a green light, or other times when I put my foot on the gas, or other times when just cruising. Dealer checked for loose shocks and everything, but now I am getting really fed up and having them take it in again. I am starting to document everything now too so I can pursue the lemon law if the problems don't get fixed. Anyone else with same problems???

I had a 2002 Mustang GT, it was in the shop over 18 times. I called Ford and after many calls they finally started paperwork to get me into a new car. (Ford did not offer this program, I told them that this is what I wanted done.) At first they gave me the run around, stick to your guns.

They charged me a fee for the miles I used on the car and then traded me for a new one. I am very please with the deal. I now have a new 2004 GT. The best part is that I have less of a payment!

FORD stands for free of repulsive defects. My GT is fine, maybe I just got a good one I don't know. I am surprised at all the bad things people are complaining about. Was the Camaro/Firebird ever that bad?

I have a Ford Mustang GT. The worst thing I ever did. It has 44,000 miles on it and the water pump seal blew. Of course causing the heads to warp. I will never buy another Ford in my life again.

Oh, they wouldn't take it under warranty and I bought it in 2003. 3 Year, 36,000 miles is all its worth. I'm suing Ford, please feel free to contact me if you have had similar problems. justwana@aol.com.

Thanks.
