Oh wait, 80s? OK, I may have to submit a retraction ...

I sent a real nice well worded email to my contact guy about this and he never replied. So I feel like I'm on my own about these problems. Pretty sad when you stop and think about what we are all spending to get one. Can't even get a response as to WHY the factory doesn't correct these issues.I hear you but the quality will be no better than a base mustang that goes down the same assembly line! I was really hoping the gt500 would be built by multimatic or somewhere that has better quality control!

I got around to checking my wires & they were ok. The bracket that holds the wires away from the exhaust can be bent to gain additionalMELTED WIRES---NOW THERE'S A COMFORTING THOUGHT ON THE DRIVE HOME WITH YOUR NEW CAR.
Agreed. I have looked at multiple new GT500s, including my own, and none have had anything more than a clearcoat scratch.Chuck, get your car first. Then see if you have any issues. Many don't suffer from these maladies.
I strongly recommend the "former" as these are clearly warranty items. This also allows Ford to identify, document and correct any assembly problems. Writing a letter is usually reserved for when a warranty item has not, or cannot, be corrected. Correction appears to be straightforward, even for a novice shade tree mechanic.If you do you can either trust the dealer network to take care of you or you could likely address it yourself. I chose the latter and learned quite a bit. I don't have issue as long as this kind of thing can be corrected.
My car also had the heater hose problem, thanks to all the reports on the forum I was able point out the problem to the mechanic. I decided to have the mechanic at the dealership repair it and he did an excellent job. The reason I didn't do it was because I wanted it to be documented and charged to Ford. If you do it yourself, Ford can always say that it didn't happen and then they can deny that there is a problem.I strongly recommend the "former" as these are clearly warranty items.
