Anyone else having any of these issues? Some are common, I know, others I'm not sure...

1. Annoying *** rattle from under driver side dash.

2. Shifter is notchy as ****, sometimes it's hard to shift gears and won't go into gear or reverse from a stop.

3. HIGH TEMP OIL LIGHT..... omfg. It goes off every 10 minutes. I've redone the ground on the strut. Can I just unplug this sensor?

4. Brakes squeak no matter what is lubed, shimmed, cleaned ect.



Anyone else care to chime in? Lol

I know me and bama both suffer from the annoying squeaky seat that rubs the center console cause we arent little guys. Sometimes it makes me wanna rip the whole center console out of the car.

For the oil temp warnings,iIf you have an 04, you need to go to the dealer and get your IPC module reprogrammed. I had the same issue.

Front left tire sensor freaks out from time to time. Almost always goes from 33/35 psi to 42+ when driving in the middle of the day, so I get the obnoxious chimes, make it go away, then while sitting at the light the tire cools, then as I drive it warms up and bumps it up another 1-2 psi so the chimes go off again.

Sometimes same sensor just drops to zero pressure and MORE chimes...

NAV/CD doesn't play MP3's... still bothers me. Especially since putting in a brand new CD, it already sounds like it's scratched, but the CD player is just being shitty.

I couldnt afford any car that would be worthy of ditching the V for really. If I could fit comfortably a c5z or a c6. Now that I built the mustang I kinda liek the V cause its just SO much nicer then the mustang and i dont mind being slow now since the mustang is pretty quick.

Ah! I got one. I get shake in the wheel from 65-75. worse when tires are cold and better when they warm up. It always did it since I bought the car. So my car has seen two sets of rim's and 3 sets of tires

Could the endlinks be doing this?

There was a TSB on this issue I believe and it was 6th gear related.

I believe my one wheel was starting to crack and throw it out of balance. About a month ago I finally switched it to the rear of the car from the front and it went away. Then a couple weeks later it developed about a 2 inch crack that I had welded up and its back on the car and smooth as can be( in the passenger side rear).

if u take it to a wheel shop can they check my ccw's for crack and flatspots and stuf?

1) That annoying under dash rattle on drivers side could be the same thing I have found. I believe there was a tsb but I fix mine as follows: With my left hand, I reach down slightly under the dash in front of my left knee to find a sort of opening that I can just get my hand in. I can then feel a plastic plate almost touching a metal plate (knee bolster area). One is vibrating on the other causing the rattle. If I just squeeze them together a bit the rattle stops for a long while. It usually solves the problem. If I were to take the knee bolster apart, I would just put a piece of tape or something there to prevent the rattle. I believe that is what the tsb solution calls for.

2) As mentioned before, it could be a bad motor mount, trans mount; however, I would check the clutch fluid first. Give it a good bleed. You've been around a bit so you probably already know this.

According to the forums, bad motor mounts are responsible for every issue on these cars.

"My passenger side headlamp washer quit working."

"Dude, I bet you have a bad motor mount."

for number 3 i solve it by getting under the car locating the ground wire coming straight off the oil temp sensor and splicing it to create a secondary ground to a nearby bolt, worked like a charm.
