Model overview

Ford Mustang is a range of American cars produced by Ford. The Mustang is presently the longest nameplate produced by Ford and the fifth-best selling car.

Because of the Mustang success, many competitors appeared from other American makers, including the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, AMC Javelin, and Dodge Challenger. The Mustang would also inspire the designs of coupés worldwide, leading to the selling of the Toyota Celica and Ford Capri in the United States.

During its production, multiple names have been linked with the Ford Mustang series, including GT, Mach 1, Boss 302/429, and Bullitt.

The Mustang is equipped with a standard turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder engine. The GT models are powered by a 460-hp V-8 with an optional active exhaust. Both of these engines pair with a standard six-speed manual transmission or a 10-speed automatic.

Ford Mustang known problems

Some of the common problems or complaints owners have about the Ford Mustang are:

Squeaking sounds when turning the steering wheel linked to the outer tie rod ends, as they are used and need replacement.

Owners encountered long crank times and illuminated check engine lights as a result of the synchronizer failure and camshaft sensor mount.

Noisy squeaking or chirping sound when the engine is heated. Old Mustang models from 1999 through 2010 are affected.

Ford Mustang owners of the 1994-2001 models equipped with the 2.3L four-cylinder engine might encounter coolant or oil leaks. Leaking can translate to coolant combining with the engine oil, presenting a serious concern with internal engine operation.

Mass airflow sensors causing the check engine light to bright on some Ford Mustang GT models from 1999 and 2010.
