Problems found on Australian Mustangs

[RubyVert]

well it took only 44 days for the dealership to sort out a placement for my pony light and the image doesn't have a tumour on its back any more
So fixed today but a very tryng experience with the service dept and hopefully nothing goes wrong with the passenger side light for a while yet
Here's hoping

The pony light is going to be a PIA - we had a replacement put in, looked new at the dealership - had a new tumor when we got home.

Cheers

The wiper arm on the driver side does not lift in a vertical position say when you are washing your vehicle. The edge of the bonnet protrudes so far that it is impossible to lift the wiper arm, therefore you will have to switch on the wiper and stop it with the wiper are facing vertically on the window instead of horizontal in the off/home position. I went back to the dealership after lunch and mentioned to them what I had picked up. They couldn’t believe it. Low and behold I checked 6 other Stangs in their lot and they all had the same ‘feature’. Actually on one of them you couldn't lift both of the wiper blades. Anyone have this ‘feature’ on theirs?

I have this feature, I just move it up before lifting it and it is fine. It moves pretty easily

Pain in the arse don't you think [MENTION=14692]Aus-MustangGT[/MENTION]? FFS it's like pissing on a 10 cent piece, so easy to engineer. How can Ford screw this up. So inconvenient and embarrassing.

Read your manual that came with the car.

It tells you, with the ignition turned off, manually move the Wiper Blades to the vertical position, which then allows the Wiper Blades to be lifted off the windscreen.

When you turn the ignition back on, the Wiper Blades automatically go back to the 'Home' or 'Parked' position.

Page 158 and 159 of your Manual.

It is called the 'Service Position', to lift the Wiper Blades.

Wow... ppl actually read the manual...
Mine is still in its clear plastic wrap in the secret compartment. :doh:

For those that have read the manual, can you please tell me what are those plastic level thingy behind the front seats? :shrug:
My guess is to move the seats forward so that the back passengers could get out but I've never tried it...

From memory, that seat tilt thing is really flimsy yeah? I sort of remember it from that yellow demo, anyone had any problems with it?

Can someone please post up a picture of the centre screen when the car is in reverse. I had the deck lid replaced under warranty, and now the bottom 1/3rd of the screen is the deck lid and GT badge I am sure it was not like that before and needs adjusting, but curious to see what someone else's looks like.

Cheers.

More concerning is what happened to the red/yellow/green guidelines?

You can switch them off through using the steering wheel and computer screen in the middle of the dash gauges

 

[Yellow GT]

Ah I see... but why would anyone want to do that? :shrug:
