  1. Not driving much - oil change?

    I don't drive our 2015 convertible GT much, but have been changing the oil once a year with full synthetic at the dealer when the oil life indicator alerted me (typically right at 12 months given my low mileage usage). Bought it new in 2015 and it still only has ~22k miles on the odometer...
  2. Passenger side blend door actuator fails once a year

    Basically once a year from 2017 onward, the passenger side blend door actuator has failed, causing temperature control on the passenger side to not work correctly (e.g. cold air blowing no matter what temperature you select). I have an extended warranty with Ford, and they've replaced each time...
  3. Blend door actuator - on my fifth one

    I have a 2015 GT convertible and just had the blend door actuator on the passenger side (part #FR3Z-19E616-E) replaced for the fourth time after not being able to control the temperature on that side. Some googling suggests this part was redesigned before the 2015 model year and this a common...
  4. Problem joining MCA - anyone from the Mustang Club of America here?

    I tried to join MCA about a week and a half ago on their website, and made it through the Paypal screen where they took my $35, but then the next step where I was supposed to create my account failed with an error message and said I should contact them. I've tried using their web form, emailing...
  5. Default alarm setting?

    I have the convertible with the enhanced security package. I want to set the default alarm setting to passive only (to save the battery as I don't drive it daily), but want the option of easily changing to active sensors in some cases, so I left "ask every time" checked. But I noticed that...
  6. Disconnect trunk light?

    My battery (2015 convertible GT) was dead again after only being parked for a week. Since I found the truck unlatched, I suspect one of our remotes inadvertently triggered the trunk release and then the light in the trunk stayed on. I'm thinking of just pulling the light bulb out in the trunk...
  7. Old man Mustang with his kid at school

    Parked next to this guy today (my GT is on the right after dropping the kids off...)
  8. Driver door unlatching while in motion

    I've had my driver side door become unlatched while driving twice now. Once before the latch recall and once after. It is not frequent, and I can't see any obvious cause (e.g. big bump, tight turn, etc.), but it of course should never happen. Both times the door stayed closed enough for me to...
  9. Battery tender charging via accessory port

    Anyone have any luck using the accessory port adapter for the battery tender? Mine works for about an hour and then it seems the mustang is turning off the port, since the battery stops charging. Any way to keep that power port active so it can keep charging? Thanks, Peter Edits...
  10. Battery tender adapter for power socket?

    Anyone using the battery tender cigarette lighter adapter (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0024X2SC4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2U296R8AN80PO) with their Mustang? The power sockets appear to be active when the car is off, so I expect it should work...
  11. Dead battery - get into trunk?

    I had a totally dead battery this morning after not driving the 2015 GT Convertible for about three weeks. First off, is that normal? I've had no problems up until now leaving it for a couple weeks at a time. I just ordered a battery tender (this guy...
  12. It's the small indignities

    But mine is guard, man!
  13. Opening trunk with dash button when the car is off and locked?

    Noticed the other day that the garage door opener (I've got a premium GT) doesn't work with the car off and locked. This is good news for us convertible owners since it means we can leave the top down in our driveway without worrying someone will reach into the car and open our garage. But...
  14. Cost for brake job and clutch replacement?

    I drive about 7k miles a year, plan to keep the Mustang for a while and am eyeing a Ford Maintenance Plan with 10 visits over the next 8 years, mostly because it includes brakes pads and clutch disc (with labor). Online price shopping makes it appear I can get the plan for about ~$1100 at...
  15. ESP Deductible Question

    Does anyone know from previous experience: if you have a Ford ESP with a deductible and your issue takes more than one visit to correct (e.g. they didn't actually fix it the first time, or you need two visits, one to diagnose, and a second to actually replace the part after it arrives), do you...
  16. Constant reindexing of SD card music?

    I have a 32 GB SD card with all of music on it (actually a 32 GB mini SD in an adapter). I've tried formatting in FAT and ExFAT, but about each third time I start the car, it wants to reindex and rebuild all of the commands, a process which can take 15-30 minutes. During this time, you can't...
  17. S**t Civic Owners Say

    Spotted this on Reddit yesterday, thought folks here would enjoy it direct link
  18. Convertible water tightness

    Its "rained" (lightly) only a few times since I bought this car way back in May - you know the drought and all in Northern CA. Before the forecasted El Nino hits us this winter, just wondering from those in live in places where it actually rains on a regular basis how the convertible is holding...
  19. Convertible GT + Tom Petty = perfect

    Picked up my older kid from after school last Friday (he is almost 6, in K) and we had the top down, great weather, and "American Girl" by Tom Petty came on. We both started singing it full volume ... good times. :thumbsup: Not sure why, but this car seems to be made for listening to Petty...
