Well this seems a little fishy. Last spring my '15 V6 was declared totaled after a storm. A tree fell on the left rear quarter, damage estimate was $14k which was basically for all sheetmetal on the left side from pillar to trunk. I always wondered what happened to it after the auction...

Question is, how would someone get cars to review if they want to dive into that scene and don't have a following? I've watched many reviews from many different channels and it seems that almost everybody had a different route to get to where they are. One channel appears to be a couple...

I'm wondering why there's such a big difference between the Ford Ecoboost (as in the Mustang) and my new Hyundai 1.6T as far as maintenance goes. Both engines are direct injected. Both turbos. Hyundai calls for oil changes every 5,000 miles (they don't have an OLM) and here's the big one...

Well this happened. Severe thunderstorm, bolt of lightning splits the tree next to my car, and my entire quarter panel including window is toast. Its rippled at the roof seam all the way to the tail light, and the housing is cracked. Trunk lid is bent too. I've seen pics on other threads of...

This was a YUGE problem with the S197's including mine...I thought the new design may have cured it but I guess I was wrong. I noticed bubbling on the paint along the edge of the hood - the forward edge above the left headlight. There are no rock chips in that area. Has anyone else had this...

I am coming up on 30,000 miles soon. I don't like buying the dealers' package because its super expensive with basically a lot of inspections. So, what actual services do you think I should put together? I have the V6 auto and its a daily driver in the south. Probably 2/3 highway, and kept...

As far as I can recall I did not notice this last winter. If I start the car on a cold morning (here in the south the weather isn't that cold - yet - so I'm talking about below 50 degrees) and back out of a space turning, then drive off and turn, I hear it. It sounds like its coming from the...

My car is a '15 V6. But when I took it in for a warranty repair I was able to get a '16 EB as a loaner. Its the premium model. So I made sure to put some extra miles on it :) all in the name of evaluating LOL Now I can honestly compare two Mustangs. Here are some observations. Quality...

Does anyone have a link to the recall notice for the door latch spring recall? Something with the TSB or recall number & info....I'd like to show it to my dealer. The press release said it was for Mustangs built from May '14 to April '15 but he said its not showing in the computer.

I only have 26k miles. My dealer told me my front toe alignment is out and it needs a $70 alignment. Is this normal at such a low mileage? I do not run suspension mods and have the stock 18" tire/wheel. I've never had to do an alignment on a car with 26k miles. When I brought it in for...

It seems I've got the same issue that others have written about. Not happy with Ford's quality. But the thing is, mine is intermittent. So how do I get it fixed? Does it have to be inoperative when you bring it in, in order for them to trace it? Does the computer store a fault code when it...

Since car sales seem to be booming these days I'm wondering what its like for 1) salespeople and 2) service advisors. I've heard there's big money to be had on the sales side especially with trucks so popular and so expensive. There's always job openings too. Good time to get in or is it...

Just had an alignment check. All is ok, however, there's a variation in the numbers. What are factory specs for alignment on a V6 18" wheels? The camber looks the same on the left & right side. But the arrow points to a different part of the block? The toe seems to be furthest off on the...

Does anyone have a tip on how to clean these cloth seats on the base model? I got some food grease on it - I put a pizza box down and the pizza was greasier than usual so some soaked thru the cardboard and stained the seat last weekend. I tried using Tuff Stuff, an interior carpet/upholstery...

The New South Wales Highway Patrol in Australia tested a GT for police use....and it overheated. They said "no, thanks" and are looking at Volvo and VW Golf. Here's an article on it with some pics of the car: http://eftm.com.au/2016/02/photos-nsw-police-mustang-highway-patrol-car-25905

Very strange experience today. I was running errands and drove 19 miles to one store (with another stop along the way). The engine ran normally. I was in the store for less than 10 minutes and when I came out, no start! It cranked over. I tried again, and it sputtered to life shaking with a...

Does anyone know if there are any car factories that offer tours in Detroit or Michigan, besides Ford Rouge? Does Flat Rock Assembly do tours or is there anything to see there? What about GM's plants in Detroit and Lansing? I was thinking of taking a trip back to where I grew up there and...

Does anyone have a good solution for cleaning the interior things like door panels, sills, dash, console, etc? I've used those interior wet wipes but they get dried out in the container after a long enough time. I'm not sure if I should use windex or glass cleaner. I haven't found anything...

I use the ZFX where you mix a few drops of that little tube into a vial of the polish. I know it says not to save any leftovers more than 12 hours but I put more polish into the vial than I needed. For anyone else who has used ZFX, do I really have to throw it away? Its a shame to waste an...

When you exit the car, close the door and walk away so the fob is not near the car, are the doors supposed to lock? I could be wrong but somehow I remember mine doing this, and I would not be able to open the door without the fob on me. But now, the doors don't lock. The car is basically...
