  1. 30,000 Mile Service - What Should Be Done?

    What do you think about investing in a Lifetime Alignment at one of the independent tire shops?
  2. 30,000 Mile Service - What Should Be Done?

    So they don't recommend changing the brake fluid at all. I've heard some people say to change it when the color gets dark because brake fluid picks up moisture from the system. Any truth to that?
  3. 30,000 Mile Service - What Should Be Done?

    I am coming up on 30,000 miles soon. I don't like buying the dealers' package because its super expensive with basically a lot of inspections. So, what actual services do you think I should put together? I have the V6 auto and its a daily driver in the south. Probably 2/3 highway, and kept...
  4. Low Pitched Grinding Sound When Turning

    I don't think mine has the limited slip - not on the V6, right? Are you supposed to change the diff fluid on the standard axle?
  5. Low Pitched Grinding Sound When Turning

    But are wheel bearings temperature-sensitive? Wouldn't a bad bearing grind on every turn at any temperature?
  6. Low Pitched Grinding Sound When Turning

    As far as I can recall I did not notice this last winter. If I start the car on a cold morning (here in the south the weather isn't that cold - yet - so I'm talking about below 50 degrees) and back out of a space turning, then drive off and turn, I hear it. It sounds like its coming from the...
  7. Vibration between 50 & 70 mph

    While this is not a Mustang drive shaft, its a Ford - probably an F150 and FordTech cuts it open. Cardboard. See it here:
  8. Door Latch Recall

    Well it seems my car HAS been released as an affected vehicle as I got a letter in the mail from Ford. Recall # 16S30 NHTSA Recall # 16V-643. It gives all the details and says that parts are expected to be available in Q2 2017. :eyebulge: Damn!! All that time for a side door latch??!!??
  9. The Warranty Thread

    Maybe it has something to do with how much money you've spent with them. A Tahoe is an expensive truck, more than a Mustang, and they made a good profit selling it to you. Mercedes - well obviously one should expect first-class treatment. A '16 GT 'vert is nearly the highest end stock Mustang...
  10. The Warranty Thread

    Does the bumper to bumper ESP plan include rental coverage? I have found that my dealer was quick to provide a rental the newer my car was. As it got a little older but still within the 3/36 I had to actually plead with the mgr. All it needed was replacing the backup camera. They told me...
  11. Wheel Damage After Tire Patch

    It looks like they hit it with a wrench, probably accidentally. I had a tire repair and there was a gouge on the rim all the way around. It was from when they put the wheel on the tire mount machine. They sent a guy in a mobile lab out to fix it, he basically painted it but it did not look...
  12. Vibration between 50 & 70 mph

    Lemon titled V6 S550 here. Doesn't say what the problem was. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-Mustang-V6-/331978030773?forcerrptr=true&hash=item4d4b6ebeb5:g:q68AAOSw8w1X4uqe&item=331978030773
  13. Vibration between 50 & 70 mph

    I don't know for sure but I think they just get re-sold. Probably "lemon" title. Back in 2001 my mom had an Oldsmobile Alero with the infamous "trac off" light that would always come on and no dealer or factory rep was able to fix. They bought it back from her. Years later just for kicks I...
  14. Vibration between 50 & 70 mph

    It really is surprising to me how with all the warranty claims for this issue that the engineers have not instituted a production change to fix it and come up with a fix for the vehicles already in the field. Seriously.... I'm sure there is someone in Dearborn who looks at the frequency of...
  15. windshield Question - Soundscreen?

    I do not think Soundscreen makes a difference in whether it'll crack. I've had 4, but the first factory one was non-Soundscreen. My V6 did not have Soundscreen from the factory but now it does. ;) Honestly though, I don't see a difference in wind noise. All the S550 oem windshields are crap...
  16. Vibration between 50 & 70 mph

    Which Mustang models does this affect the most? I have a V6 and it is smooth. I've only been reading about these horror stories until last week. They had to put me in a rental for 1 day for a warranty job and I got a '16 EB. This car actually had 6,000 fewer miles on it than mine and once I...
  17. Ford Oasis Reports

    Thanks!
  18. Ford Oasis Reports

    Agent, can you tell what an "SSM 45770" is in Oasis? When I took mine in for the rear camera the work order said "checked Oasis and found SSM45770". Is that some kind of service bulletin?
  19. A Tale of Two Ponies

    Actually, by "loaner" I meant Enterprise rental. The window sticker says it was delivered to a dealer in Oklahoma, but it had a North Carolina registration and was in Mississippi. 20k miles in 6 months, as the build date says 02/16. So its been driven a lot. I did look at things like paint...
  20. A Tale of Two Ponies

    My car is a '15 V6. But when I took it in for a warranty repair I was able to get a '16 EB as a loaner. Its the premium model. So I made sure to put some extra miles on it :) all in the name of evaluating LOL Now I can honestly compare two Mustangs. Here are some observations. Quality...
