hi everyone I came across a deal for the factory spare tire kit for S550 Mustangs… Ford Parts Giant has it on sale for ~ $194 so I snagged myself one. Part Description Subtotal Part No.: FR3Z-1K007-C [KIT - WHEEL] 193.75 www.fordpartsgiant.com Just thought I’d post this in case...

Finally… something seems to be working in your favor, at least as far as someone local you can talk to and help you with getting things in order. 🤗 I cant comment on engine internals because I dont know anything about them so wont even try. I would still follow thru with contacting and filing...

been following from your first post about this… damn, I feel for you on this one. ☹ You took a leap of faith, betting on the honesty of what appeared to be a legit dealer but in turn they used your positive nature to screw you over. I’m willing to bet they knew all along the car was messed up...

I read about a guy comparing his Continentals to Atlas tires as he didnt want to spend so much on another set. He said the Atlas UHP all season felt as good as the Conti Extreme DWS and also mentioned that the Atlas tires are very popular in Europe. here is the thread -...

forgot to get back to you on this... Vehicle Battery - 590 Amp | FordUS

Had to reply to this since you mentioned the 15v... Last night, i put my keys in a Faraday bag per a recommendation and also to combat the new way that people steal cars. This morning the car ran at a constant 15v for a good 20 minutes before finally lowering down to about 13.8v but then it...

oh man, I am so sorry to hear about the debacle you are in. My anxiety would be at an all time high dealing with the mess you are dealing with. I would be livid about the fraudulent misrepresentation of the car! if in fact, like you said... "The report I got back stated it has factory exhaust...

thanks for the details. that sounds pretty much what the service dept told me... with no CEL and no log in the system, no way to tell what it was or if it would happen again.

woah, that would be scary as heck. at least I was at a stop light and not moving. how many miles on the car at the time? how many more miles did you put on, without another occurrence, before getting your next Mustang? no CEL or anything popped up? what do you think could cause such a strange...

this is great info from clearly a very experienced person. thank you 😊

I took your advice on this and ordered a couple Faraday bags off Amazon. Figured worse comes to worse, our keys are protected from the car thefts that are on the rise with those a-holes using handheld antennas to pick up your key signal in the house and relay it to the car so they can steal it...

thats probably what I need to do... stop looking at it, because its probably going to drive me mental. (or more mental) :crazy: I think my anxiety is working me over on it ever since I saw the long term high voltage and the shut off of the car at a stop light last week.

thanks for this info Kyle. it seems like this morning, my voltage ranges were a bit more in line with what you are stating above. (see my last message) -Steve

thanks guys. On my drive in to work today, the voltage range seemed even more all over the place. I was seeing 12.5v to a few times at 15.2v. Today appeared to be more in the 12.5-13v range compared to driving yesterday. Is this normal to be as low as 12.5v once running and at operating...

this is good info, thank you. This could explain why the battery was replaced prior to me purchasing the car. At 2 yrs old and under 7k miles, perhaps the battery went bad because the car wasn’t driven enough?

thanks for the feedback I would imagine yours isnt constantly at the higher voltage? (like mine was)

needed to add something… when leaving my parents today, I noticed my stereo system set the speaker setting back to their defaults where the 3 ranges are all in the middle. My Sport steering setting was also defaulted to the original. This is not the first time this has happened and usually how...

man, you guys are a plethora of information 🤗. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CHIMING IN!!! So I just drove the car to my parents, about a 20+ minutes or so drive thru long farmlands / backroads. the voltage did fluctuate and ranged from say 13.6 to 15.2v. (start-up ~ 12.5v) It was mostly in the...

thanks for the reply back and info I hope that 1200 miles of driving with a potential wrong bms setting hasnt messed up the new battery. I will keep an eye on voltages to see if they settle lower.

woah.. power steering going out had to be scary? what does it feel like if the mag ride shuts down? was it only a one time thing? did you have any codes in the computer? as for my car, I picked it back up around 530p today and voltage reading was now at 14.5v. I’d say that is more in line...
