i live in the Daytona Beach, Florida area. I've daily driven my 2016 GT350 in Sport Mode since the car was new. I'm not sure what the exhaust difference is between Sport and Track Modes, but Sport Mode definitely does not say Track Use Only. Isn't Sport Mode loud enough? I've never been...
The fuel economy values shown on a car's window sticker are adjusted downward from the official fuel economy test results. This is so the label values are closer to what people get in real-world driving. The Gas Guzzler Tax calculations are based on the official fuel economy test results...
I've averaged 19.6 mpg in just about 29,000 miles of driving my 2016 GT350 Tech Pack car. This is my measurement, not the trip computer's. Mostly suburban driving, but with some highway thrown in. The best I've ever gotten was 21.9 mpg, which was an almost-all-highway tank of fuel. This is...
I've been getting this intermittently on my 2016 GT350. It rarely happens from a cold start, but recently seems to happen about 1/2 the time from a warm start (like if I go to the grocery store for 45 minutes). When it occurs, I can almost always clear it by shutting off the car, waiting about...
Yeah, I think he has the air flow arrow pointed in the wrong way. Otherwise, a good video. My car is 2 years old now, but only has just over 11,000 miles. I'm going to replace the cabin air filter in the next few days.
I don't know about that. When I bought my 2009 Bullitt I was told that X-Plan did not apply. That wasn't from my local Ford dealer; it was from my contacts within Ford Motor Company itself. Even though I had done a fair amount of consulting work for Ford at the corporate level, I was on my...
I had an '09 Bullitt with the leather seats and now own a 2016 Shelby GT350 with the Miko suede seats. I definitely feel that the leather seats on my Bullitt were easier to keep clean, and I generally preferred them for that reason.
I'd guess that the original 1968 version probably had some...
I had to ask my dealer for the mug (I own a 2016 GT350, so I was less concerned about the 2017 book), but he sent me both the book and one mug. Pretty nice of him, considering he's in Nebraska and I'm in Florida.
This is ridiculous. The parts are widely available now. I've gone through the recall procedure and there's no way I would put up with a dealer wanting to inspect the car before agreeing to perform the recall.
You have a safety defect recall letter from Ford. You have a right to a free...
Yup.
I really dreaded taking my car to the dealer for this recall, and the process ended up being even worse than I expected (and I had pretty low standards).
First, I scheduled the service appointment after being told the lines were in stock. Got there first thing in the morning, because I'd...
I owned a 2009 Bullitt, and I special ordered it from my local Ford dealer. Mine was Highland Green, with 3 options: navigation, HID headlamps, and the GT security package (alarm and wheel locks). There was also an optional upgraded Shaker audio system available, but you couldn't get that in...
There is a video available now on youtube. If you google "cabin air filter replacement 2015 mustang" (without the quotes of course), you'll find it. It's from early 2016, done by a woman named Marie Kasprzyk. Interestingly, she seems to do it without touching the glove compartment door; she...
Did the dealer find a code stored for this in your car? If it's doing it about 1/2 the time, I'd think it would have be clearly demonstrable to the dealer.
I've had the issue intermittently (discussed in my post #28 above). I called Ford Performance about a month ago to ask if a code was stored when the "Drive Mode Selection Unavailable" alert shows up on the instrument panel, so that if I took it to a dealer, there would be something stored to...
This started happening intermittently on my car when I got about 800 miles on it. Now, I'm up to 1900 miles, and it seems to be happening more frequently (shutting the car off and then restarting it has fixed it to date). For someone that has had this repaired, does the car store an error code...
When I first got my GT350, the brakes squeaked, but not too loudly, just before coming to a stop. I'm not sure when it disappeared, because normally my car's radio would drown it out, but now that I've got 1400 miles on it, it doesn't seem to do it at all.
I've broken the brakes in with just...
