38k with no evap issue. I run the AC with the windows down if I'm going under 50mph. I did have the blower bearing go bad last year.

My prior “Buy Back” 2016 had over 37k on it and never had an A/C issue at all.

15gtpp 57k no issues at all.

'15 GT PP with 70K miles, AC is still going strong! Knock on wood lol. Car has a production da ate of Aug. 2014

106K... damn! Has anything else fallen apart yet at that mileage?

Everything has been reliable with the exception of the brake booster. That failed at around 40k miles. I would rate this car perfect if not for that. Consumer reports actually rates that as a problem area so it must be a somewhat common issue.


I used to do about 36k miles per year for work, but now I'm down to 20 something. All highway miles, as you can guess. I just change the oil about every 8k or 2/3 months, and it keeps on going. On my commute I average about 30-31 MPG if I stay out of the gas.

Evap Issue

Lost cold air at 35,500 miles..Dealer found no leaks and charged the system.
Have cold air still at 43,750 miles still..Will see if this last..
By the way..Any class Action Lawyers on this Forum to get the

ball rolling for a Class Action Suit?

Meh.....


Class action suits are great for the attorneys who bring them to court, and maaaayyyybee a couple of people at the top of the plaintiff class list....



The 20 bucks for those plaintiffs named in the class and the disclaimer that the defendant end up putting out does nothing for the majority of the plaintiffs whom claim injury / incurred loss. It costs the defendant money that will cost quality somewhere else in their production and rarely causes them to fix the real issue. Either that or they just chalk it up to a tax loss.



I am so very hesitant to anyone that says a class suit is the answer.... it rarely is.

Live in Florida? Evap might kaboom
Elsewhere? Probably not. Idk what’s up with that correlation.

From that I'm reading it's a feels like a crappy life time on the evaporator core. Mostly people having problems are in places where they drive the car year round and have the AC on 80%+ of the year. You more you go north it seems less n less a problem because in NY for example... We use the AC on full maybe a whole 15-16 days a year. We get 70-80 degrees out we put the windows down and love it!, we don't turn the AC on till 85-90+ and at that we are crazy enough to leave the windows down and love the heat because we know -10 is coming and 6 feet of snow on the mustang will be soon enough.

The ESP plan's I've seen are ~950-1000$. The question I have if it does die whats dieing? Just the core? Will the car function perfectly fine with it dead or does it create engine drag? From every thing I've seen it's the core in the dash leaks and can't keep refrigerant. Would that affect any moving parts?

2016, 8000kms(that's around 5000mi for those that can't maths)....original evap

 

[dvs73]

2015, 20k miles no problems.

 

[Fausted]

12 - Evap died around 38k Miles
15 Eboost- around 13k Miles
15 GT - At 35K miles

Florida here, of course.

Could be true. My AC has gone out once last summer and I think it might be on the way out again at 25,000 miles.

Hey, that's an extra $20 that the class members didn't have before the lawsuit began...
