Problems found on Australian Mustangs

If it had a Falcon badge nobody would buy it - that's why they stopped making the Falcon

No sarcasm there mate, just stating a fact. They stopped making them because people stopped buying them.

Having said that it wouln't matter what you called the mustang because it would sell.

Actually in reflection there is sarcasm in my comment lol

[MENTION=20388]Frostee[/MENTION], nah mate the original statement by [MENTION=14340]HybridGT[/MENTION] about it not having a Falcon badge, that comment was in jest

In before someone actually puts a falcon badge on one. I can see it happening.

Hilarious thought, but you're right that there'd be a Falcon die hard who wouldn't find it amusing

I suppose that'll be the same type of haters that go "no space for the kids, falcon is the better car"

Too true, but really it's apples and oranges isn't it?

Mind you the Ford fans are in better shape than the Daewoo, oops sorry, the Holden camp

Look at this list we are compiling on the UK forums.

This group talked about SatNav cards, anyone checked how old the Australian version is, I know it was an issue when I got my Ranger Wildtac the card was 4 years out of date, I had no problems with Ford replacing it but others had and some were told they had to pay I think $180 for an updated card

I've just found my first problem - both tail lights are full of condensation. I did go through a pretty full on wash and detail yesterday (and it had been extensively driven in the rain before that) but that shouldn't cause the lights to fog up, they are meant to be sealed units.

My dealer have taken photos and are submitting to Ford Australia for guidance but it should be covered by warranty without issue.

Keen to hear whether anyone else has encountered this.

For the inconvenience they should add a third red brake bar

They arent sealed units, they are vented, some condensation is considered normal but after a while it clears up

 

[FrozenPea]

Correct. It's a misconception that tail or headlights are sealed airtight.

Please don't take this as being a smart arse, but I wouldn't consider the entire bars being full of condensation after being parked in the sun in the open air carpark at work all day to be normal, especially considering it wasn't there this morning.

None of my other vehicles have done that.

Why would I take you providing more information as being a smart arse? :shrug:

No the ENTIRE bars being covered with condensation isn't considered normal. This from the owners manual.

"Condensation in Lamp AssembliesExterior lamps have vents to accommodate normal changes in air pressure.
Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist air enters the lamp assembly through the vents, there is a possibility that condensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When normal condensation occurs, a fine mist can form on the interior of the lens. The fine mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during normal operation.
Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dry weather conditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation are:

• The presence of a fine mist (no streaks, drip marks or large droplets).
• A fine mist covers less than 50% of the lens.

Examples of unacceptable condensation are:

• A water puddle inside the lamp.
• Streaks, drip marks or large droplets present on the interior of the lens.

If you see any unacceptable condensation, have your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer."
