“Swe purchased our 1999 Ford mustang gt new and a 25k miles yhe rear end differential was making a lot of noise. Ford replaced the entire third member unit and all carrier bearings. At 35k miles the issue reoccued and this time we took the car to a diiferential specialist who said the carrier bearings on one side were completely gone and replaced them. Then at 45k miles the seme issue developed and we took it back to the differential expert. …”
NHTSA complaint #10279091, filed 2009-08, 35,000 miles“Vehicle is 1999 Ford mustang, 3.8 liter engine with 5-speed manual transmission. Dealer replaced clutch,throwout bearing and pressure plate at approx. 2000 miles for original owner. Dealer did same work for myself (2nd owner) at approx. 20,000 miles. Car now has 54000 miles and clutch work is again needed. I have owned many fords with manual transmissions and never had a clutch last less than 100,000 miles, so my driving style can't be the problem.”
