Could be the cause of my engine failure. The driver side secondary chain was broken (along with followers). You can see the broken chain set aside on the red towel. https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/new-2020-gt350-hep-engine-failure.152495

@PRTK350 It might be argued that you shouldn't contact Ford or tell the CSR you want a buyback so that they don't speed things up to cut the Lemon Law limit short. I am not sure about this. I feel that once the dealer contacts Ford the hot line and an engine replacement is authorized, the case...

Another issue with buying a car with a replaced engine is the buyer may assume the worst about the cause of the engine failure. Most buyers probably don't read forums and are not aware of the uneventful failures (I wasn't when I bought my car). They'd assume the car was subjected to abuse and...

OP, I'm sorry to hear about your experience. I know how it feels. I'm hoping it's not a catastrophic failure and your car doesn't need an engine replacement. Keep us posted. I went through an engine failure on a new 2020 and, thank God, Ford bought it back from me. Since you're planning to sell...

Sorry to hear that Andrew. I had a loss as well ($4000 at least, $3600 in paint protection + $400 mileage fee per CA lemon law).

Good question. It does come with warranty, but not sure about extended warranty.

You need to look in the mirror. Your obsession about the value of your car being affected by "cancel culture" (quoting your post) makes you feel entitled to act the bully and viciously attack other members of this forum and mock them. It's keyboard warriors like these who unfortunately demean...

I'm calling on the admin @Jarstang to take note here. This member has been stalking me across multiple threads and hurling personal insults at me, thereby violating the "flaming and personal attacks are not acceptable" rule of this forum. This member in particular feels entitled to attack other...

Thanks Steve! Enjoy your beautiful car. I'm taking some break from the category and will wait and see. For now I have a fun-to-drive car that can also be used for errands and taking the kids on trips. Despite what happened, I still love the GT350. None of the other cars in its category cut if...

Providing an update and an opportunity to get a potentially good deal on an almost new 2020 GT350 HEP. It took more than 30 days from the time I towed it to the dealer to the time it was ready for pickup with a new engine, which is the threshold for Lemon Law in CA. I requested a buyback from...

@Tomster when I reported my engine failure here, I got pounced on and personally attacked, accused of lying, making things up, and having motives and agenda. This added to the pain of the of traumatic experience of seeing my new car that I cared about and loved broken down and having its heart...

Mine took about 4 business days to diagnose the problem, send pictures to Ford hotline, and get approval for engine replacement under warranty. Then it took about 3 seeks to get the engine to the dealer, then about 10 days to replace it. The dealer told me after it arrived that they will work on...

My PPF installer told me (unfortunately after the fact) that the chance the stripes will remain in place after the PPF is removed is very slim. They use a heat steamer to pull off the PPF, and with all likelihood, the original stripes will come off with it. Someone earlier in this thread...

Today I got my owner's supplement in the mail. It took about 2 months after purchase. Ford is buying back my vehicle. I will surrender the vehicle to a middleman Ford dealer, and then it will get auctioned as a lemon car to another Ford dealer (most likely out of state), and then sold to a new...

OP, buyback cars can be a great deal. My car will soon go into the buyback inventory (pretty much hit the lemon law day limit and the car is still at the shop for engine replacement). My experience with Ford customer service has been stellar so far. I believe the car will be a great deal if one...

Bought mine from: https://www.carid.com/motorcraft/sae-5w-50-motor-oil-1-quart-mpn-xo5w50qgt.html

I thought the stock seats are the Recaro seats. In my car, the non-Recaro leather seats were an option (LEATHER-TRIMMED SPORT SEATS $495.00). I sat in a car that has the Recaro, and for my build, they did pinch me a bit in the lower hips area. The leather seats look great and are very...

WIll do, thank you for all the useful info!

I don't want to involve my insurance company in this. I have a good rate from them for the GT350, which is 50% lower than what other companies I checked with offered. Insurance companies report claims (including those that don't involve accidents, at-fault, or traffic violations) in a shared...

Buyback is completely through Ford. The dealer is an independent middleman and therefore they wouldn't eat depreciation or tax / fees if a buyback happens. I read a lot about the process from @Cobra Jet postings here. The dealer I'm repairing the car with is separate from the dealer I purchased...
