I got my mustang on February 2 and the next day my check engine light came on. I had to take it in 3 times and finally they said I had a bad mass air flow sensor.
They replaced the filter and the light went off.
I dont know if the fixed the right problem or not?
I have been looking at this topic since it was posted as a Sticky. I am still looking for information regarding any TSB's related to the whining rear end and the popping in the front end. My rear end has not gotten any worse since I took it to the dealer a month or so ago, I now have 2300 on my GT and have had it for 3 months today. The popping noise is starting to get on my nerves as it seems to be louder then before. And my passenger side rear brakes are squeeling like a pig. I took it to the dealer for that a few weeks ago and they said the squeel was coming from the front and messed with them and a day later I hear it again and it is definately coming from the rear brakes. I guess I will have to have the Service rep ride with me and stick his head out the window to hear it, if that does not work then I will find another way to get his death ear close to the rear end. ANY IDEA's LOL Anyways, are there any new TSBs for the rear end or the front end popping?

Maybe the springs? I KNOW a couple months ago there was a thread about a popping noise and it was the springs...

Ford has just recently issued 2 TSBs for the 05 GT Mustangs. The first one is TSB 04-24-20 : The issue is limited slip axle chatter during low speed manuevers while turning. Its refers to replacing the clutch pack and using different gear lube. This TSB also covers other Ford models with limited slip rear diffs. The second one is TSB 04-26-22 : The issue is for "check engine" light illumination without driveability concerns and multiple DTCs P035X's. This is set during engine decell and would probably not be noticed during driving. The P035X DTC are for the ignition coil packs primary or secondary circuits malfunction.
MustangTK -- Thanks for the TSB's -- Is there any way to get a list of all the TSB's that have come out for the 05 V-6's & GT's? Maybe a master thread could be started by someone in the know and an alert could be issued on this forum every time a new one is added? We have all been made a better group of owners by people such as you who care to share your knowledge.

My GT has been at my dealership for the past few days with a whole mess of problems (largely I think because they had to order the 2 bolts left off my dust shield that was causing the startup rattle that's been well discussed in another thread). One of those problems is the popping front end, and my service advisor told me today that Ford issued a bulletin (I assume this is the TSB) on it today. She said it would probably be a few days to get the parts in, so I'll bring the car back in again soon.
I took my GT in to have the drivers mirror replaced as it had a stain on it from the factory or the trip to Texas. Also I asked them to look at the whine I was hearing when coasting between 40 and 55mph, I was told by someone else in this forum that it may be a coast gear in my Auto. But I got a call from the service man and he said that the noise aI was hearing is from the rear end. I know there has been several conversations in this forum about others having to get their rear end replaced once or more. I asked the service man if the new rear end that they would order had the repair of whatever it is that is causing the problem and he basically said they would send the exact rear end with no modified parts, therefore the chances are there that the 2nd or 3rd or however many rearends that they install may have the same problem. Apparrently there is no TSB out there yet from Ford that recognizes the problems in the many that they have already replaced. I asked if the fact that they know my Stang has the problem is documented against the VIN and it is. I told the serviceman that I will hold off getting it replaced right now as the sound is not that annoying yet and will wait till Ford gets their head out of their butts and has a TSB and they have a fix for it rather then taking a chance that just putting in another would not have problems. Anyway, I suggest that we put this topic of TSB's as a sticky so it stays at the top of the forum for everyone to find easily. I know that I will watch it closely. Not sure how to make it a sticky, so I assume that someone does and can put it in that status.
GT - auto, Built around April 1st, I also have a problem with the whine between 40 and 55, when car is coasting.. Sounds like a rear axle noise. Wondering if it is related to the pinion gear in rear axle?? Have not taken it to the dealer yet... I will wait til I hear there is a fix... Talked to two dealers, does not sound like they have had many complaints ..

PART NUMBERPART NAME2R3Z-7124-CAReverse Gear And Synchronizer4R3Z-7109-AASnap RingsMy tranny is grinding when down shifting or upshifting to second gear. Not a problem when I drive under 2,000 rpms, but why would drive like that? I think I'm going to schedule an oil change, front strut, fuel fill and tranny service date. Sounds like I might be without my baby for a while.

My wife has an 05 coupe and has been experiencing the popping noise when she turns in first or second gear. She has called the dealer and will be taking it in this week. Thanks for the TSB info onthis post and I will keep all advised what they discover, tell us, etc

hey jkraus
the tsb 05-9-11 is the fix but the parts have been updated, but the problem is that every dealership has orders for these parts so they are on back order and it may take a while for them to get them.
also RONW300 with the whinning rear end have they told you anything about it yet. I was told that the ring gear and pinion is the same one that they use in the f150,explorers and expeditions and if it is they do have a kit for this problem as this is a common problem with the explorers and expeditions. I know because my 04 explorer is having one put in now.
I'm a Ford service tech and I worked on a 05 Mustang GT with a check engine light on. I accessed this information thru Ford's "OASIS" which is only available to dealership personel. I'll try to keep everyone abreast on any TSBs,SSMs and broadcast messages.
Hey mustangtk, regarding TSB 05-4-8 (Fuel Fill Slow or Difficult to Fill) is it common for Ford to ship a new fuel tank without the fuel sending units? Forcing the dealership to use the sending units from the bad fuel tank.
Thanks

My wife took her 05 coupe in to the dealer last week to address the clunking noise in the front end (per pervious post here). The dealer indicated there is a fix for the issue....it appears the bearings on the strut assembly are binding when you turn the wheel. The parts should be in this week...I will keep all advised if it fixes the problem. According to the dealer, they have fixed quite a few 05 Mustangs with the same problem.
And as a note, my 05 convertible just started doing the same thing. They ordered parts for both.
Both vehicles have less than 4K miles on them...My wife has had hers since New Year's day, and I have had mine since March 15th. It does not take long for the symptoms to appear.

Almost 3 weeks here and no parts in yet. I hope they get everything in at once. I don't want to hear "we've got your car all apart, but we don't have one piece and is B/O for a month" Then the car sits in danger waiting to be mauled and cast aside like a pile of junk. Darn- I always think of the worse case scenario.
