2000 FORD MUSTANG
This model year
What the record shows
The 2000 Ford Mustang is a subcompact car, and the 36th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 1965 to 2026.
The EPA rated six configurations: engines from 3.8-litre six-cylinder to 5.4-litre eight-cylinder, rear-wheel drive only, three transmissions and running on premium gasoline and regular gasoline.
Combined fuel economy ranges from 14 to 21 mpg depending on which one you have.
The federal record holds 311 owner complaints and 135 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
