2000 Ford Mustang GT Convertible review from North America
"Decent car with lower quality than I expected"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The dashboard has rattled since the day I purchased it. The window had a large cut taken out of it, which the dealership replaced for me. The seat belts would lock at random times, the dealership fixed this as well, unfortunately I already had the windows tinted, and they would not cover the cost of the tinting ($25 more out of my pocket).
Since then, the passenger side actuator has gone out, the door will no longer automatically lock. The fuel injector became dirty clogged even though I changed the filter ever 15,000 miles. A bearing tore up and trashed the rear end differential ($1300 to fix it, the differential, and have the right axel replaced). The driver's door is not properly aligned, and the window on the door has broken free of the clasps that hold it in place twice. Ford chose to use cheap glue, instead of screws on their windows, in order to pass the cost on to the consumer.
General comments?
This car has had a few problems, with the differential being my main concern, other than that I am fairly satisfied with the quality, although it is not quite what I had expected from Ford.
