Rant time...what's the worst thing about your Mustang?

[Gixnic]

Mine is the rattles/creaks in the interior now. I've tried to add some padding to address it in a bunch of areas which works for awhile, but this past week I got another piece by the AC vents above the radio and I've got another from somewhere in the rear seats on the passenger side of the car -.-

I also get the creak from the same location. Thinking of taking it to the dealer so they can take a look at it but I haven't had the time.

Ive investigated 1,000s of collisions over the last 13 years, and everything you have said is just wrong. Those people do not lose control because of traction control, they lose control because they don't have the necessary skills to control the vehicle. And ABS is decidedly another thing that saves lives. Also, studies have been done, and people that are the most confident about their driving skills are not as good as they think they are. Unless you've done a lot of track days, or even better, HPDEs with an instructor next to you, you probably don't know how to handle the car once it breaks away from its limits of adhesion.


TLDR: modern electronics help save lives.

Yes, every time I think about some of my cars I had I am amazed I survived without all these government induced nannies.

Back in those days, you had to prove you could drive. Nowadays, a driver's license is just a revenue fee.

I am mistaken. Could have sworn they went back up too. I just tried it and you're right... only DOWN works. I wonder if this is something that can be enabled with Forscan. My 2014 Fusion has both up and down functions. Why not the Mustang?

Auto-up requires a $300 module.

Where do I get it? Hard to do? If it’s only 300 installed I’d do it.

The paint... The paint is utter shit.

I think the early model Dodge Neons had better quality paint.

Don't remember where I saw it. This forum or the EcoBoost variant. It's plug 'n' play, goes into the wiring harness under the back seat. For $300 I can lift the window switches.

My biggest rant is Ford has not built my car yet

In 1965 there were about 25 automobile deaths per 100,000 population, today around 12.

I'm still waiting on my PCH check, too.

Have you seen a Neon lately? No, because they all turned to dust.

You mean darts lol

 

[HDSTANG]

You know what really grips me? When I stop for gas and a crowd gathers around the car saying "WOW nice car" It really gets old. NOT!

A bunch of 14 and 16 second quarter mile monsters there, I don't know how you managed.

 

[RIBS]

For me it’s crappy manufacturing and painting of the aluminum hood, and cooled seats that burn your back. Other than that a it’s a great car!

 

[MidwayJ]

the 4 inch base radio with 600 buttons is terrible

needing to buy an entire dash kit to replace it is even worse

Agree. I did the Sync 3 swap, but that's too expensive as well.
