Ford's response to some of these warranty claims regarding the transmission. I believe they have responded poorly. I have had other brands where warranty claims became a big hassle and personally I no longer want to deal with a company like that anymore. At least not buying a new car. I will buy used in that case.

Other than that I can't find much fault with the 5.0 mustang.
For the record, the metals used in the transmission are not Chinese. The plant in China only assembles the transmissions for Ford.
