2015 GT, 38k miles multiple issues.

[terminator]

Hey guys i just hit 38k miles on the gt and been having quite a few problems with no help from the dealer. Car has been great to about 35k, only issues were cracked drivers leather seat and some body trim issues that took a month to get resolved at ford.
Issue 1 both rear axle seals are leaking where cv-shaft comes out dealer said they couldn't find a leak I have pics.
Issue 2 trasnmission grinds when shifting fast into 5th gear never did that before, dealer also said no issue.
Issue 3 rattle from drivers door drives me crazy since it never use to do that.
Issue 4 just started this week check engine light comes on engine misfires, pulled codes p0308 cyl 8 missfire and p0300 random misfire detected. Changed from shell gas to bp and code still came back.
Any ideas what I can do or who to call to get these issues resolved because im not getting anywhere with ford service department. Also has anyone else had these issues car is stock becides the catback exhaust? Thanks

If the rear axle seals are leaking, the leak isn't going to be magically resolved when you visit the dealer. Pics mean nothing; if it was leaking when you took a picture, it will still be leaking. That makes no sense.

Why are you shifting "fast" into 5th gear? Maximum RPM in 4th is well over any speed limit; there is no reason to hustle the car into 5th. Sounds more like operator error than an actual issue.

If you have DTCs for cylinder 8 and random cylinder misfires, the dealer will clearly see there is a problem and will take care of it. Sounds like you're not telling the whole story; is your car modified?

Why would you switch from Shell to BP gas?

no grind when shifting normal / not fast ? If its doing something different, you can try to check your car for clutch drag. Google the topic, some postings tell you how to check for that.

Unlike youself presuming the OP was driving unlawfully, l understood what he clearly stated which was "the speed of the shift". You continually troll this section of the forum trying to place blame for the problems people are having with their Mustangs and say it was driver error.
Read the lastest issue of Consumer Reports and the poor reliability rating of the S550 Mustangs. Ratings from a vast number of owners relative to the few that are posting problems here.

This is the only issue of yours I can relate to, fifth was the first gear that consistently starting grinding. I got the same run around you are from Ford, they told me its my "discretion" on how I drive my car but THEY couldn't get it to grind. I drove the car with service manager who stated I was provoking the grind by rowing the gears (we were driving 10mph through a parking lot). This issue goes all the way back to 3,000k miles it took until 10,000 and 4 service visits when trans finally got so bad the car wouldn't stay in gear without holding pressure on shifter.

Good luck with getting your issues resolved. I can say once a Lemon complaint is filed it really seems to light a fire under Ford.

Consumer Reports is ambiguous because nearly all the categories for 2015 Mustang are Excellent, but then their expectation is Poor. :shrug:

since you had multiple syncs go bad, I am thinking you had clutch drag

OP may be developing the same thing. He should test for that.

Right, not bashing by any means. But have you actually received one of their new cars surveys? It's actually breaks down into quite a bit more detail than just a the few colored circles you see online or in the mag. We received one a few years back and they actually take some time to complete. So much easier to just ignore it.

 

[paul123]

I have an Consumer Reports online subscription but they don't mail me anything. Do they require you to get the magazine? If its too involved I would be tempted to ignore it. If someone has a problem with the car, can they give a negative score for just that one item ?

Your probably correct, Who knows...

Consumer Reports? LOL, do you have any more jokes to tell? CR is a discredited source, there is a reason that they have been proven wrong and sued multiple times. Learn something before you quote unfounded sources:

I don't "troll" anything. I simply call out people like yourself who complain constantly about non existent issues and blame the manufacturer for their failure to properly operate a vehicle. Nice try.

CR isn't perfect in the methods they use and l would never base my auto buying decisions based soley on one data source. I just quoted a source and you didn't agree with my posting it, just as you do with many things members post here and so be it.

Your laughable link from "alpar" does not indicated to me that CR is a discredited source.
CR has exposed many issues with the vehicles they have tested including safety problems that the manufacturers have in turn agreed existed and corrected, l can list them all but l won't here.

As far as CR being sued, out of the 13 suits total (l believe) they have lost zero!

So to the end, you should just learn something....period. You know you have been called-out numerous times on this subforum by members over your laying blame on them for certain issues they are having with their cars.
You should learn that everytime you do so when obviously wrong you expose youself as a non-contributing member and you cast yourself in a negative light.

OP...most of those issues should be covered by the power train or emissions warranty. Escalate with ford...try to find "Ford Service" here on the site....you should be getting free fixes for all but the rattle.....

Of course my course doesn't indicate anyone to you, because you didn't read it. Do the math (if you're even capable), and you'll find it's 100% accurate. Just because you choose not to read the facts doesn't change the truth. And it's ALLPAR, not "alpar" lol, at least try and pretend that you read the information :lol:

Way to try and defend your precious publication. CR is a joke, and you obviously have no clue about the lawsuits they have been involved in. Just because they haven't "lost" doesn't mean that they won, in fact the majority of suits were simply settled because CR had no proven, empirical data to back their nonsense claims.

Another notable CR blunder in when they published that the Pontiac Vibe had lower reliability than the Toyota Matrix, even though they were the same exact vehicles, built in the same plant, with the same materials. The only differences were the front and rear fascias, emblems, and interior details. That alone proved that they are completely discredited.

The fact that you continue to defend such a corrupt, useless, biased publication proves that you are merely one of their followers; you care more about what they publish than the actual truth.
