Uggg
So I have a 2016 GT Vert (Stick). I had it about a month and the check engine light came on. So I hook up my trusty code reader and it said "Missfire: Cylinder #8". I had not noticed anything with the car at all, it ran smooth as glass. I chalked it up to a one-time thing and cleared the code...light was gone and all was good.
No issues for about 6 months and then I go another one with the same code. I cleared it, but scheduled an appointment at Ford. Again, no issues with the car, it drove and sounded fine.
Another code thrown, this time it said "Missfire: Multiple Cylinders" Ok, time to get it in the shop! (again, no outward appearance of an issue, just light)
Ford just called and said that even though the car was running fine, their research from "Ford Forums" had consistently listed that when the car threw those codes, and no other issues were apparent, the problem is a CRACK in the INTAKE MANIFOLD!
They are replacing the manifold now.
The reason I am posting is two-fold. One, if you are having similar issues, get the car in for warranty work ASAP. TWO, if you see used manifolds for sale, be very cautious and make sure you know the whole story.
