I'm selling the stang because I'm quite sick of the vehicle. I've owned numerous sports cars and I'd have to say that the Mustang has been my least favorite. I purchased it because I think the 2011+ are beautiful cars and very powerful; however, the craftsmanship of the overall vehicle is not on par with that of GM, Nissan, Mitsubishi, and Dodge IMO
When I received the vehicle new it was completely out of alignment. They ended up having to install new cam bolts per TSB, which signifies to me that they sent many of these cars off the line out of alignment.
At 4,870 miles my engine ceased up while cruising at about 45 mph. It took almost a month for them to replace the entire engine. They told me the vehicle ran out of oil. I'd checked it about 700 miles previously and it was within the operating specs. I was told, that the 5.0 tends to burn a lot of oil, which according to ford is normal for "sports cars."
When my vette went low on oil once on the track, and I received a notification of these on the info system. Filled it up and never had problem. There was not warning from Ford's info system.
Mitsubishi evo never burned any oil and it had a larger turbo and 400 whp.
Later, thanks to this forum and few others, I found out that the 5.0 pushes a huge majority of it's oil out through the PVC valves. I'm 99% sure that's what happened to mine. And actually, my entire intake was covered in oil where the tube enters just before the throttle body.
The Microsoft sync does not work in my car, I can't understand anyone and they can't understand me. It's a waste of a system. GMC's setup is absolutely amazing.
My right door was mounted wrong from the factory and does not line up correctly. I took it in and they tried fixing it, but it's still just as bad. I don't think they even did anything. Ha ha. They probably charged for for the work though. ha ha
The bumpers are now discolored from the rest of vehicle. They were fine initially, but after 10,000 miles the paint is bleaching.
Ok! Those are some of my largest gripes. I know many of you love your Fords and I'm not trying to say Ford sucks or anything, I think i've just had a bad experience with the mustang.
Anyways....
I'm going to buy a new truck. I like the Ford and the Dodge so far. I'm leaning towards the Dodge because it's much cheaper for the high end truck, and it looks amazing. I'm worried that if I get the ford, I will run into the same troubles as the mustang. Which do you guys think is better to go with, the Ford or Dodge? Why? What's more powerful, reliable.
Please share some real world stories if you have them.
