Hey guys, I think my car is developing the same issue. It's a 2016 Mustang GT Auto. The car is two weeks old and this is totally unacceptable. I took it to the dealership today and the service guy said that's normal! I spoke with the manager and he told me to bring it back on Thursday for further inspections because I have other problems which are paint imperfection and vibration starts right over 55 mph. I uploaded couple videos on Youtube. Let me know what you guys think.

Yep... You have the clank. Surprised it's still an issue for the 2016. Replacing the output flange of the transmission resolved it for me... Good luck.

Take a copy of this thread to the dealership. Primarily the posts that stated replacing driveshaft did zero to help the issue, and the front flange seems to be the fix.

I can't believe they didn't fix this issue. They should've handled this problem in the 2016! I'll ask them to replace the output flange. How many miles have you put on the car after you they replaced the output flange? I just want to make sure this is a permanent solution.
Thank you for the response. I'll print out what I can find, and if you know any post numbers that specify the solution, please let me know.
I wonder if this is related to the vibration +55 mph

I only have about 7400 miles total on the car. About 1/2 of that came after the repair so all I can tell you is so far so good. I had no vibration issues with mine either before or after.

Took my car in for oil change today and asked them to look into the clank sound. They said the noise is coming from the front flange, and they are ordering the parts. I will update after its repaired.

This is a 2016 GT with almost 500 miles on it. Is this the so called clank?

I took the car to the dealership and the service guy said that sound is normal! I wonder if any of you guys live in Southern California. My dealership seems to be not concerned about fixing the clanking sound and saying there's nothing to be worried about! I even printed out some of your helpful posts for them. I'm thinking about taking the car to another dealership. Any suggestions?

Mine started clunking around 2000 miles, and now at 4000 miles it's pretty consistently doing it every time I engage reverse while the car is cold. I wasn't going to worry about it until I saw this thread... Probably going to head to the dealer sometime this week.
So excited to have a seemingly serious issue this early :ford:.

Hey Faris14
I currently live in southern California and I have been dealing with this problem for a good time now going on 35 days that my car has been at the dealership. The noise is not normal. MY clunk noise shakes my car that you can feel it inside. The noise is intermittent, if you compare your car to another one , the noise will no be there. Is you car a v6 or v8 ? The drive line components are different for each drive train.

Good morning Jlfierros,
I'm glad they acknowledge the issue and trying to fix it. Wow 35 days without finding a fix! My car is V8 Auto. I wonder which dealership it is so I can make an appointment with them. Do you have the vibration issue while driving in the 6th gear over 55 mph?

Faris14,
There lies the distinction, MY car is a v6 you have the v8. The v8 has a different drive train with different parts. The v8 drive shaft is a piece of junk. Read all the previous threads on this site. Make sure you speak with the service manager not the service writer and show him some threads so that they can fix your car right.
