Might be too soon, but any 2019 GT350's encounter any issues?

Engine locked up at under 500 miles due to mechanical failure. Second engine went in but was NG at installation so dealer is replacing it with engine #3.

Man, that really sucks to hear. May I ask what was the mechanical issue?

What's "NG"?

What's "NG"?

No Go is my guess. Term used in my military days.

My guess is no good as in tits up.

Not much in here. Not that its any more indicative of problems (or not) then any other thread

Nothing mechanical at the moment... However, the R is at the paint and body shop for lots of paint flaws from FORD/Transport. Got to drive it a week and then dropped it back off.


I knew from the beginning it was going to happen as it was brought to my attention when I was looking at purchasing the car. So, worked out in my favor in the end, just got to make sure dealer does a good job prepping and painting the car. I'll post pictures when I get it back (Forgot to take before paint pictures before I dropped it off).

Edit: Really surprised FORD doesn't cover/wrap these cars more in transport just knowing the cost and paint work for them... just my $0.02

I had mine out today for a drive since it will be locked in the garage a few days until the rains and Dorian pass. I have to say I am pretty impressed how well put together the car is for the use it was designed. I can be quite smooth on good roads and I have learned the revs and shift points by sound and feel. I took delivery May 1st and now have 800 miles, so still in break in. Top RPM I have taken it to was 7000, waiting for full break in before aiming higher.

I has some Synch3 issues with have been resolved in the latest update. I had some interior panel ticks which have disappeared as the panels set themselves. I guess one one complaint would be a few interior buzzes at certain rev ranges. One from the front dash (sounds like passenger side) and one from the rear deck. I may try to isolate them when the weather cools but honestly, with the terror under the hood I expect they will be part of this car's character. NVH is not high on the list when building a performance beast at this price point. The B&O sound system does a nice job masking them without hiding the glorious noise this car makes.

Curious is anyone else has had some interior buzzes and if you were able to quiet them?

Reach up under your side plastic rocker trim and make sure the push pins are seated properly. Push any loose ones upwards. There are 7-8 each side.

New to the Forum so my first post. Take a look at your rear panel where the GT350 emblem is, there appears to be quite a few (like mine) with spider cracking of the plastic from too much pressure being applied at factory. Dealer knew of this issue and ordered a replacement although its 6 weeks out. Mine is a March 2019 build

When I had my 2016 they had to replace that. I agree on checking that carefully cause that emblem is hot molded onto that black panel. Therefore the emblem is not a separate item, they replace that whole black panel its on. Mine was done under warranty but they told me in parts that they couldn't believe it. That if you had to buy it yourself its around $900.00.

One MAJOR problem with mine... and Ford can not, and will not fix it.....!!!!!
I have owned the car for only 13 days. It spent it's first several days getting the paint dialed in.
The problem is with the odometer... the damn thing now reads 570 miles. When I picked it up, it only had 7 miles on it.
Apparently this is hurting my warranty, and Ford says that it is not their fault.
Can you believe they had the audacity to actually blame me for this problem.
Unbelievable...!!!!!

This is probably the most messed up thing I have heard yet. I consider myself so lucky I got one with 0 issues so far even including paint.

nothing irritates me more than a smartass driving a shiny, noisy car...... well except for kids playing in my yard.
