What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owned a 2005 ford mustang. While driving approximately 45 MPH, the front driver side control arm fractured and caused the driver to lose steering control. As a result, the vehicle crashed into a tree. In addition, the air bags failed to deploy. The driver suffered from a head concussion, laceration to the face, and body bruises that included severe injuries to the stomach and blood clots. Medical attention was received. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to a salvage facility.
Initial problems: 1. Pin strip on driver side was peeling off 2. A/C vent fell out of console 3. Convertible top got stuck in the down position. Stopped by closest dealer because I was on vacation and we pulled the top back up. Brought it to a local dealer for repairs and they said it was not covered under warranty because the entire convertible top frame was twisted. They stated this was because I most likely had driven while the top was half way up/down.
