Default How often is your car in for service?

I have been scowering this forum and all i have been reading lately is about people with brand new 06-07 mustangs that constantly have to take their vehicles in for service. Is this just me? or does your car have a lot of downtime?

14,000 miles in 10 months with below mods. Never been to the dealership. Only problem I've had is the thumping noise from the right front passenger side when going over bumps. When I replaced my struts/springs it went away.

31k miles...only in once (last month) for fuel filling TSB. Not really a problem, but it was more of a nuisance. Had the car back in 2 hours. Fills up just fine now.

1.5 years 16,000 miles. Never seen a Ford dealer. +600 HP through a blower and built motor and still holding strong...

I may take it in and ask if I can get new paint under warranty as I have ~15 small spots all the way through the clear and paint. Not normal if you ask me.

I may have a small filling problem but that's 1 outa 10 fill ups and only some stations and pumps...??

I blew one of the stock mufflers but that's mod/power related I'm sure...

Tranny has the grinding noise but that's Tremec for you...

That's it, all else is and have been working great!!

Default Service done at dealer!!!!!

I've been back to the dealer about 10 times in 18 months...
First for a leaky back window(which turned out to be the weld seam had no filller in it),engine ticking, Alarm system would not let me start the car with the key. All of these things were multiple bring backs tooo the dealer...Finally after 18 months all is good, I even toook it on vacation with me and it drove great!!!!!!!!!!!!
