'18 GT
I've seen 4 new GT500's so far with blown engines, or suspected rod knock. Already. Can we say Quality is no longer job #1 at Ford boys n girls? Maybe will change my mind on an EV, at least it won't tick, knock or blow up after a couple thousand miles. Ford is no longer a brand associated with quality. Its the main reason my '18 GT is now up for sale. After 7 Mustangs over 30 years, I'm tired of supporting Ford and the junk they make...add me to the list of the 2 million people who FINALLY got a settlement from Ford over the craptastic DCT transmissions they gave us in our Focus'. Only a matter of time before the new one in the GT500 shows us a similar fate. All Ford exec's should be fired for their lack of caring about quality, and giving us loyal Ford fans such a bad name over the years. I'm sure I'll get hate from the forum over this post...at this point in America nobody seems to like the truth any more anyways so I expect the hate to start in 3...2...1

Don't buy a Ford then, if you're that upset about it...
Oh I won't be. I even plan on trading my '07 which at 80k miles has so many problems I'll just be glad to be rid of it. Likely gonna turn to a new Mercedes, you can get a nice one for under 40k and I was offered 5k for my '07 turd. If my '18 doesn't sell outright by Spring, I plan on trading it for a new Harley and start riding again after not owning a bike for the past 20 years.

Trading a Ford in for a Harley because of quality concerns? Good luck!

I believe cars had the same amount of problems now as they did years ago. The difference, social media.... Its so easy to put a video out and "thousands" of people see and depending on the view you see one side.


That being said, your selling you GT because possibly 4 GT500s have engine problems?

Your entitled to your opinion but the DCT in the GT500 is nothing like the one in the Focus. The Focus DCT was made by Ford and Getrag in a joint venture and is pretty much garbage. The GT500 is sourced from Tremec.

Where you really lost me was your so upset with Ford reliability that you want to show them by buying a Mercedes.. I hope your trolling.

In the latest Consumer Reports rankings Ford is #16 and Mercedes is #21..

Dude just get a Lexus sedan and call it a day. Or maybe a Mazda other Toyota. Prius are pretty reliable I hear.

My cousin’s, uncles’s, nieces’s, neighbor had an issue once with a Harley.. I would probably scratch them off your list. Get a Schwinn. Very reliable.

And adding insult to injury to this stupid thread, this video is around a month old. Also where are the other 3 you claim have the same issues? LOL about the comment regarding the DCT, this is no Ford Focus troll.
