1991 Ford Mustang

In 1990 the Mustang logged 114 complaints and 5 recalls, whereas in 1991 complaints fell to 96 and recalls rose to 6. The following year, 1992, complaints dropped further to 78 with recalls returning to 5, and in 1993 complaints jumped to 132 while recalls increased to 7. Over these years the complaint count shows a downward trend from 1990 through 1992 followed by a sharp increase in 1993, while recall numbers remain relatively stable, fluctuating between five and seven per year. Thus the 1991 model year sits at the low‑complaint end of the improving phase but carries a marginally higher recall count than its immediate neighbors. Consequently, a 1991 Mustang can be a sound purchase provided any outstanding recall work has been completed, as its complaint frequency is favorable relative to the surrounding years.
