Yes, I just found out the day I picked up this new GT, that my buddy in Albuquerque bought a 14 Eco about 6 months ago & had the exact same problem. He said Ford had the dealer replace the drive shaft, but the tech said it sounded more like the diff, so after the shaft was replaced, he said...

Ended up with a new car on Tues.. Exact same thing, but this one's Deep Impact Blue with the ceramic interior. As for my orange one, YellowRagTop is right, it's the differential in these cars. The tech assigned to mine, went to take a driveshaft from a new one on the lot after replacing mine, &...

I did ask him what's going to happen with that car if they can't fix it and he said they'll get it fixed and it's going to be resold but as a courtesy to me since the car is brand-new they're going to let me go ahead and get another car if that's what I want to do since it's been in the shop for...

Yes, please do. I really like my competition orange & don't want to come out of pocket another G.

No. The car is identical with the exception of color. The only option missing is the smart cruise or whatever it's called. Also, I've raised hell about it being brand new & in the shop already, so yesterday they had me come in for a meeting & said "There is no chance of Ford replacing the car" &...

Exact same thing has happened with mine. Dealer is @ a loss. Was offered a brand new 5.0 with the only exception being D.I. Blue, & $1000 out of pocket. Basically taking my car in on trade with 209 miles. Think that's what I'm going to do. Have had the car two weeks & it's been in the shop half...

Update: Ford HQ has told the service manager to replace the driveshaft which is being overnighted, so I'm told tomorrow I should have the car back if the driveshaft is the problem.

I asked that exact same question, and all I got was "it appears to be balanced". I asked if the driveshaft was removed and was told no, but the service manager feels more comfortable escalating the issue before removing any parts. S.M. also mentioned that this feels more internal then the...

Tech is @ a loss... Says driveshaft appears to be balanced, & has NO idea what's causing the vibe/rez? Has escalated the issue to Ford & is waiting for them to advise. Will know more Monday.

10:50 am... Have a tech who's been with Ford for over 30 years now assigned to the car. Drove it & said without hesitation that the vibration/resonance was NOT a tire issue. Is inspecting the drivetrain right now. Will update later today hopefully.

Update: had wheels forced balanced today. Not a single bit of change. Car's @ dealers now & will hopefully hear something tomorrow.

Those are the points where the factory jack would go. I have two racing jacks & am still unsure where to lift the rear up @...

I think I saw them, but it didn't look like enough area for a floor jack. I'll look again. Thanks Foghat.

Update: Dropped car off early this morning & was told a couple hours... Just picked car up (1:30 pm) with absolutely nothing done to it. Was told they were backed up, & a man short today. I found lift points for floor jacks on the the front, but can't seem to find a suitable place to lift from...

Thanks for all the replies so far. I have an appt Wed to get the wheels/tires forced balanced. Hopefully that solves the issue, if not, I'll probably try one of the aluminum or carbon fiber one piece drive shafts... Will update after the balance.

Hi Everyone. New here with a 2 day old 15 Comp Orange 5.0 GT auto with the oem 20" wheels & the P-Zeros. I have less 100 miles on the car, & am getting a vibration through the steering wheel, seats, & rear view mirror @ 50mph on up to 65mph, haven't gone any faster, so I don't know if it gets...
