MY TACHOMETER FAIL A FEW YEARS AGO. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, HE SAID ALL MUSTANG GAUGES FAIL AND TO BE HAPPY IT WASN'T THE SPEEDOMETER. SLOWLY OVER TIME ALL THE ELECTRICAL HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS. SOMETIMES THE CAR WON'T START, ALL THE GAUGES STOP WORKING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF FOR NO REASON. ALSO THE DRIVER SEAT ELECTRICAL FAILED, WAS REPLACED AND FAILED AGAIN. I COULDN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED.

DT: CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A SMALL AMOUNT OF BRAKE FLUID THAT WAS LEAKING FROM THE CAP ON THE MASTER CYLINDER. THE SERVICE DEALER REPLACED THE CAP ON THE MASTER CYLINDER TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THIS DID NOT STOP THE BRAKE FLUID FROM LEAKING. THE CONCERN WAS THAT THE BRAKE FLUID WAS LEAKING ONTO THE STRUCTURE OF THE VEHICLE. OVER TIME, THIS MAY CAUSE EXCESSIVE CORROSION ON THE STRUCTURE OF THE VEHICLE. THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL FOR THIS MODEL. ANOTHER COMPLAINT THE CONTACT STATED T WAS THAT HE POWER DRIVEN SEAT MADE A CREAKING NOISE. THE DEALER WOULD ADJUST THE SEAT TO KEEP IT FROM CREAKING. THE CONCERN WAS THAT IF HE HAS TO ADJUST THE SEAT WHILE DRIVING IT MAY CAUSE THE CONTACT TO BECOME DISTRACTED AND COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.
