sounds like a witch hunt to me ........if you take a good look at almost any car and use some statistics ,you'll probly find somthing you can say is defective and dangeruos........ford seems to take the brunt of this type of journalism alot ..........

reminds me off the pinto thing when they were singled out ........at that time there were like a couple of hundred car designs that were similar and potentially just as dangerous as the pinto,hell i've owned cars that it seems like they would be more dangerouse then the pinto ever was(example being the old filler behind the license plate set up).....but the pinto was singled out becouse of somone using some statistics and saying they were dangorous......next thing you know everybody was scared to get into a pinto ,but were oblivios to the potentiall of there similarly designed car that could do the same thing

i think saying the mustang is any more dangeruos then any other car out there is probly exagerated ........if i was a journalist and wanted a story i'm sure i could muster up some facts and a couple of personal story's that support a theory about gas tanks being just as dangeruos no matter where they put em

.......if you think about it the gas tank could rupture no matter where you put it depending on what kind of accident your in......personally i would *want* the gas tank back there ,if it ruptured and caught fire i'd want the intencest flames to be at the back of the car ,instead or the center of the car ,where i would be........

as for the doors ,that happens on alot of cars,hell my doors on my t top don't open or shut real easy when it's parked on uneven ground ,if i wrecked it i wouldn't expect them to open.......and on top of that my gas tanks in the same location......but nobody's singling my car out as un safe

i think that this is just a case of somone playing on fords history to make a story when there isn't call for a story
