2002 Ford Mustang LX 3.8L from North America
Summary:
A dream car turned into a night terror!
Faults:
I took the car in for a mild interior rattle and when I got it back the whole interior rattled severely.
The horn broke.
The right panel bends out when the window is rolled down.
A very loud squeak comes out of the windows when they get rolled down.
My windows rattle when I drive on the freeway.
The engine almost dies randomly even when it is out of gear.
When I try to put the car in 5th gear the gear sounds like it grinds and I can't put the car in 5th gear.
The car broke down at 10,300 miles and I almost got plowed by a truck. It has been in the shop for just over a week.
General Comments:
Up to 7,000 miles everything was fine until these random things started happening. I often found myself yelling at a certain Ford dealership who could never fix anything even if I told them the problem.
This car is junk, if you want a good car don't get the very bottom of the line. The only mustang I would ever drive again is the Cobra or Saleen.
I used to love Fords and especially Mustangs ever since I was a kid, but this car has truly changed my perspective. I will never drive another Ford vehicle as long as I live. I never want to put up with the random problems and the terrible customer service ever again.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Based on your comments and in reading the other reviews you probably got a lemon. This was a car that probably wasn't assembled properly. I feel bad for you, but don't say that all fords are this bad. Like I said before you got a car that probably wasn't assembled properly.
