Sorry to hear you’re having all these problems. I went through the same thing last summer and kind of gave up on it and traded it off. Beautiful car but the transmission irritated the heck out of me. I also drove about five other ones which were either a tad better or a lot worse but all were...

I can tell you from experience the 2020 models were still a mess. Mine with Ecoboost was awful, plus I randomly drove a few others both new and used. None were well mannered and one was horrendous. It’s a shame Ford can’t get these right. I dumped the car in frustration.

Interesting post. I briefly had a 2020 Mustang Ecoboost convertible. Pretty much hated it. Friends commented that it rode like a dump truck. (It was pretty awful on anything but new pavement). It was noisy. The 10 speed auto was a jerky mess that pissed me off every time I drove it. But the...

EVERY recent Mustang I’ve seen has wrinkled leather seats. Yes it’s normal on a recent Mustang but not other vehicles. My 2020 was wrinkled pretty bad. My 2014 not at all. Another Ford screw up. I now have a 3 year old Audi A5 convertible. No wrinkles at all in the seats. Nor in my 2019 Toyota...

Nope. Mine was a 2020 and so were a couple others I test drove. None shifted well. I dumped it for a used 2018 Audi A5 convertible. It has a dual clutch automatic. The type transmission that’s noted for being rough. I’ve driven it 1800 miles and the transmission is a dream. Go figure. The...

Transmissions are VERY SLOW to warm up. It takes a lot longer than the engine does. My 2020 ecoobost was slow to warm even in summer weather. I now have an Audi A5 and the transmission also takes many miles of driving to hit 180 degrees or so. Probably 10 miles even if 70 degrees outside, I...

Sad that these transmissions are such a mess. My 2020 Ecoboost behaved similarly to yours. Occasional extreme harsh reverse engagement, jerky downshifts especially the lower gears and right as it dropped into first coming to a stop. Also very jerky up shifts in sport modes. So the dealer...

To show the inconsistency, my 2014 was far worse than my 2020. Interior fits were much better on my 2020 too. Ford really needs to step it up. I’ve even walked rows of Lincoln’s and noticed many body fit issues. Most manufacturers do much better.

Ford has NEVER had world class fit and finish. They obviously don’t have the equipment capable of holding tight tolerances. Mustangs are definitely pot luck. Some are pretty good, some not too good. I had a 2014 and it was a fun car, but the panel fits were very poor by modern standards. I...

None of that’s going to happen because it’s cheaper to build them all with power windows than it is try to build them two different ways for the handful of people that don’t want them.

You are very correct. I traded it last Saturday on a 2018 Audi A5 convertible. While I like the mustang styling better, the Audi is a 10 times better car. It rides like a dream even though it’s on 35 series tires, it’s still corners very well, there’s no floating or cowl shake. It feels...

Let us know if it lasts. Mine rapidly went downhill again. Not as bad as before, but still the worst automatic I’ve ever driven or owned. Just for grins I drove another eco-boost and it shifted even worse than mine. And then yesterday I drove a used 2019 GT and the salesman even warned me that...

True. My best bet though is probably dump it for a different car. I’m not too fond of the engine noise, but it’s an impressive engine power wise. Since I bought it used I’m not going to get burned much. Today I drove a used 2020 GT vert with the 18 inch 50 series tires. Amazing how much...

It probably won’t last. Mine was great for a couple days then went downhill as it ‘learned’ how to be a crappy transmission again. It’s still better than before the update, but does lots of weird things. Most annoying is a jerk just before I come to a stop, slow change from R to D, and...

Yes they’ve been removed. It couldn’t float if they weren’t. Plus dealer replaced a strut bearing. It’s just a very poorly set up suspension in my opinion. I don’t know what Ford was thinking. I think they have rough roads in the Detroit area? Lol. I had an 83 mustang GT and the 2014 V6...

I absolutely hate the ride of this car. It’s just dreadful on anything but a good road. Floaty and harsh..worst of both worlds. Being a convertible no doubt adds to the sub par impression. It shivers like a wet dog on rough pavement. I tried dropping the tire pressure from 33 to 30 and it made...

I don’t call having to load a special computer program on a windows computer (that I don’t own), then figure out how to use the program ‘easy’. . It’s also said that disabling the fake noise disables the car’s noise reduction system too. Can’t get a straight answer on that. I’ve decided the...

You don’t have collision alert. I don’t think it was even offered in 2016. It’s part of the safe and sound package. It’s bundled with adaptive cruise control and uses a camera behind the rear view mirror, plus a radar sensor in the grill. You’d also have a string of bright red LEDs that...

I have the optional 19’s on my 2020 Ecoboost. Wish it had the 18s. The ride on patched or broken pavement is pretty bad. The 18s are definitely a bit more compliant. I think I’ll trade for a used or new GT with 18 inch wheels by next spring.
