2002 Ford Mustang Standard review from North America
"Very Fun Car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Purchased in February, brought it to the dealer in March. On-going problem with the e-brake. Has been to the dealer 5 times for this problem. As soon as the weather drops to freezing temperatures, the e-brake freezes up. If I leave the car with the e-brake off, in the morning it is impossible to lift the e-brake handle. If I leave the car with the e-brake engaged, in the morning the brakes cannot be released. Can't move the car. They started with: just wacking the brakes with a hammer and saying "you're all set" to replacing the lever assembly, adjusting brake "reins?", replacing the brake control assembly, replaced both rear brake calipers, replaced brake cables, AND have just replaced rear calipers AGAIN.
Had driver door speaker fail.
General comments?
I have to say, aside from the e-brake problem, I absolutely LOVE this car. I've had NO other problems, besides trying to drive it in the snow...
I have no complaints about the power or handling. Very fun car to drive. Love the MACH sound system with 6disk changer.
If anyone else has had the same e-brake problem, I'd love to hear your solutions!
