| Dt*: the contact stated while driving 55 mph the rear end of the vehicle fishtailed from side to side which made the vehicle difficult to control. it was taken to the dealership for inspection; however the problem could not be duplicated. the vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop. the mechanic determined the right rear brake line and the lateral arm support bracket needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was alerted however, no repairs have been made. | |||

| Since purchasing my certified 2001 mustang gt (used) i have had problems with the steering pulling to the left during driving and/or braking. i took it to ford 8 times and finally they said it was the cambers and casters. after having it for a year i have had to continuously put steering fluid in. now ford has discovered that something called the steering rack was broke and leaking. also, the emergency break had become loose. and now there is a problem with a whining and swaying in the rear end. so far they can't find out what the whining is and found that the wheel bears were locking up. a diagnosis hasn't been made at this moment and it's still with ford for 4 days. *nlm | |||
