| On january 3, 2005, the heater core on my 1999 mustang had to be completely replaced, including the thermostat. the windows had fogged up before and the car smelled like syrup but i thought it was just vents. the heating core had to be replaced and the coolant had to be recharged and replaced also this came up to $700 dollars. on august 16 2005, 2 weeks after changing the coolant the water pump had to be replaced, once again the system had to be flushed the cost was$400. on july 2006 i had the coolant system flushed and changed, 1 month after the coolant was changed the windows starting fogging up, i was driving my vehicle and i was unable to get a clear view of the road due to the foggy windows, the heating core once again has to be replaced, is going to cost me another $600 dollars to fix this, i have all of the paperwork from firestone, i have kept up with all of the maintenance required by the manufacturer. *jb | |||

| Vehicle would vibrate severely when driving. intermittently transmission would not go into gear. dealer contacted.*ak the dealer could not understand how the transmission had no leaks but was out of transmission fluid. this vehicle has had 2 blown head gaskets, the rear seal in the motor was replaced, the heater core, the transmission, and the catalytic convertor have all been replaced. *jg | |||

| Consumer was unable to close driver's side door because latch wouldn't secure it. samething was happening with passenger's door. also, all four windows would not roll up the right way, but instead, would go over the top. in addition, after 600 miles transmission failed without a warning. *ak | |||

| A few days ago i discovered a crack (15 long) in my windshield. there are no marks from anything hitting it. and nothing has hit the windshield while operating. since this is is a convertible, i am wondering if this could have been caused by the vehicle flexing. i have noticed that the vehicle is looser than any none-convertibles i have ever driven. while driving slowly over uneven pavement, i can hear the window/door seals squiking from the flexing. has any recall been issued for this?*ak | |||
