Agree. The brake dust just kills me. I usually wash it and then put it away. But the rotors build up some rust while the car sits (I dry it off, but of course not the brakes). Everytime I then go to pull it out of the garage in a few days, the brakes are locked up. Takes serious effort to...
Well, I didn't care at all until I decided to spend a grand replacing the speakers. Now the music sounds better. But the amplified exhaust intake sound now is abnormally loud, sounds manufactured, and is clearly sound coming from the speakers and NOT THE EXHAUST! Now, I care a lot.
Unfortunately, I already took "the bath" on my '16. Can't afford to accrue any more negative equity. Between my car hitting limp mode 3 times, and last week making the exhaust note unbearable, I am just about done with this car.
Sorry, another thread I know, but I replaced the speakers to...
I agree. I use the car as a commuter and occasionally would like to listen to music instead of the exhaust. I can't stand the stock speakers, and now I find out that I can't upgrade them?!?!?!
Oh well, the engine sounds great on the track. Wait? What?!?! I can't track it for more than...
Ok. Spoke to the tech again. Sorry to create such a storm here. He explained to me that on the eco-boost, it is a microphone. That can be disabled. That jives with what the audio guy told me, he is disabled the microphone on the eco-boost. The Ford tech further explained that on the GT 350, it...
I would LOVE to find out that I am wrong. If it was only me and others being able to hear the exhaust in the speakers, I would hope there was another cause, but....
My local Ford Service tech researched it today and essentially told me "I knew some of the 4cyl cars did this, but didn't know...
Ford is surely ending my love affair with my GT350.....
First, I buy a Tech Pack car to commute in and do 3-4 track days a year. Only to find out that it is un-capable of more than 15min track time because the tranny overheats.
and TODAY.....
I find out that the exhaust sound is being...
Not so much squealing. But I have had them lock up, and bad. I don't like to put it away dirty, so I often wash it, dry it, and put it in the garage. She's my baby, right? Anyway, each time I do this and don't drive it for a few days the brakes lock up. I believe the pads are binding, or...
No hazards coming on. I've had limp mode kick in essentially 3 times. two track driving events (9-13min into each session). And 1 on the street, spirited driving.
Have had the car into the dealership 2 times. Last time I opened an official 'ticket' with ford corporate. Not very...
To keep on point, an update on my recent experiences.
1) Limp mode experienced during spirited street driving. Took it to local dealership and they did pull the codes. Ford now has an excuse, as I see it, more of a cop out, for the Technicians to tell customers. Yep, just the language from...
Yep. I got mine in the mail about 2 months after I bought the car. It is 1) very cool with the FP crank model and paintings, and 2) very useful for tire pressure recommendations while tracking my Tech pack.
Not to fuel the fire, but respectfully, not sure you've ever been to one of these HPDEvents. Most cars there are sports cars, not dedicated track cars. Usually running are porsches and corvettes (all models), Miata, Camaros, Mustang GT, Nissan 370s, turbo'd Subarus and Mitsubishis (truly prone...
No problem, I'll add those later. :)
However, I did NOT know the actual transmissions where different at the time!!
Then Ford Performance states... "oh, you can't currently add coolers because the pump is internal to the transmission you don't have and there are no connections for the Diff...
I don't think anyone would consider a 20-30 minute session "extended track use". With the "most track capable mustang ever" only able to complete 13min at an event.....that should embarrass Ford Performance. A fix is in order.
Most folks don't buy specialized track cars for these driving...
You have made my day!!! My tech pack car went into limp mode today on the street. Spirited driving but no crazy racing or anything. Made an appt with dealer for next week. Previously, I did a mild track day and hit limp mode, so if experienced it before. I was surprised to hit it on my drive...
