Good to hear! Ford ended up replacing my ring/pinion/bearings/seals... all covered under warranty. Whine is gone, but now I have a suspected driveline vibration at 70mph that didn't exist before the work was done. Car is back at the dealership. :headbonk:

The reliability of the 2.3 EB platform delayed production of the Ford Focus RS. Anyone who has watched the series of development videos on YouTube will remember this: I'm guessing the same changes will be making their way into future EB Mustangs.

Seems like a fairly common occurrence, perhaps this thread should be moved/mirrored to the "Issues, Repairs, Warranty, TSB, Recalls" area. My dealer just let me know that Ford has decided to replace the input shaft, gear, seals and bearings as a result of their findings. They weren't...

My GT PP has the same issue, gear whine @ freeway speeds. It's been like this for roughly 8 months. Just started happening out of the blue. Finally took it back to the dealership. Ford ordered a differential tear down and investigation. Waiting to hear back. p.s. I don't have any power adder...

Yes, the reverse lockout collars on the manual cars are plagued with a two piece glued plastic design. Mine broke and was replaced by the dealer. The service advisor told me that it'll continue breaking until Ford has a redesign. Your other option is to order a billet aluminum replacement from...

It's not bad at all to be honest. The winter tires/snow mode combo takes all the drama out of the equation during the season. I still can turn all the nannies off when I want to have some real fun though. In my opinion, winter just adds 4-wheel steering to the car. :headbang:

This.

They have well-paying union jobs in Michigan... they definitely care.

Winter.

Is that a question or a statement? Cananda? No or know? You're killing me!

Some advice from a guy who ended up getting an engine replacement fully covered outside of warranty... Put all your efforts into drafting up a well written letter to Ford Service and the executives. Be very professional and keep your facts straight. You might not even need a lawyer.

Good to know. Thanks!

This exact thing just happened to mine. I'm in the same boat. Apparently Ford is redesigning the reverse lockout mechanism? This two piece plastic junk apparently isn't a Barton design issue, but they're willing to take care of their customers just the same.

Hey guys, I stumbled across this thread and it all read too familiar. I used to have a Mazdaspeed 3 which experienced white smoking issues. Took a while, but Mazda ended up acknowledging the issues and extended the turbo warranty across the entire 2.3 DISI turbo model lineup. The only reason why...

Called ARP. No such luck. Just previous generations. All I could do was request the R&D team look at it one day. Damn.

Agreed. $800 for a full set is outrageous.

Much appreciated. I never thought it'd be such a hassle to get aftermarket wheel stud replacements for this car!

I checked their website, they don't appear to have the 2015+ Mustang listed. There might be a compatible SKU, which is why I'm looking for some stud specifications to determine fitment. The only aftermarket option I've found is this ARP 1/2" wheel stud conversion kit: Wheel Stud kit, 2015...
