  1. MAP VIEW CUTTING IN AND OUT!!!

    I have owned the Mustang since 2015. I have traveled multiple times from Minnesota to Florida without the map screen ever blanking out. The map screen has never gone black on short trips. This is a new glitch and I was curious if the same problem arose with any one else: a blank map view but...
  2. MAP VIEW CUTTING IN AND OUT!!!

    The Map View has been working fine until this weekend. During a long drive (400 miles), I had the destination set and standard scale map view. After about an hour of continuous driving the map view went black! The destination directions display continued to work fine. I first shut off the...
  3. GPS firmware update?

    The American GPS system is based on a 10 bit time calendar. The calendar timing runs out on 6 April 2019. Many, if not most, GPS units have firmware that requires a reset to prevent positioning errors. I have several handheld GPS units. Those companies have already contacted me about...
  4. Mast antenna removal

    I also replaced the tall OEM antenna with "The Stubby". The reception seems to be unchanged except in really far out rural areas, then I switch to the Sirus radio.
  5. Another dead battery thread

    Had to replace the battery...totally dead...I forgot to plug in the battery minder for two weeks. So the OEM battery lived for about 3 years...even after several complete drain downs.
  6. Sudden unexpected acceleration...

    It was my Weather Tech floor mats! Yeah..Yeah..I should have been more observant! But with black carpet and black mats...I wasn't able to see that the mat was shifting enough to cover the gas pedal. I bought the WT mats when I bought the convertible. At that time, the WT mats did not come with...
  7. Check your aftermarket floor mats!

    I bought a new 2015 Mustang. The Weather Tech mats I bought for it that year did not have snap rings. They only had circular indentations at the location of the floor mat pins. The indentations held the mats fairly well until the last few months. Now the mats do slide forward and backward fairly...
  8. Check your aftermarket floor mats!

    I wrote to Weather Tech about my mats slipping because they did not have snap rings to anchor them down. They replied and stated that they recognized the problem with their mats and they are sending mats that have snap rings installed.
  9. Check your aftermarket floor mats!

    I was in a parking lot. I tried to start my Ecoboost convertible. I pressed the brake pedal and hit the start button. The engine immediately began to over-rev. I tried several more times and it still happened. I got out to look at the engine to try to figure out what had occurred. After awhile...
  10. Sudden unexpected acceleration...

    "DaveTBG": you misread my report. I don't normally stomp on the brakes when I attempt to start the Mustang. I just apply enough braking to allow the engine to start. After the engine started, I moved the gear shift to Reverse.and took my foot off the brake pedal..and the engine proceeded to...
  11. Sudden unexpected acceleration...

    To answer your questions... When the first reverse acceleration occurred...I wondered if somehow I had hit the gas pedal, maybe my foot fell off onto the gas pedal by mistake. I normally only apply a slight amount of pressure to the brake pedal when I start the engine. The engine started...
  12. Sudden unexpected acceleration...

    Sudden unexpected accleration!!! This afternoon I started my 2015 Mustang Turbo convertible...as I put it in reverse, the engine sped up to nearly 4000 RPMS, without my foot on the gas pedal. I put down 20 foot long burn marks in the pavement before I could stop the car and shut off the engine...
  13. Adding water to coolant reservoir?

    Learned my lesson on using tap water in radiator... Years ago, I bought a classic 1965 Mustang. Took it on a long trip during summer. The coolant system overheated. I had to have an emergency radiator cleanout done. The radiator was nearly completely plugged. When I got home I contacted the...
  14. High mpg?

    My stock 2015 EB /auto convertible typically gets about 31-33 mpg on open roads going at a steady 55-60 mph. Every so often, my mpg rating jumps to 40+! At first, I thought I might be going down a very long descent with a stiff tail wind. But I have gotten this higher efficiency quite a few...
  15. Deep Sleep Mode?

    I just found out that my Mustang may(?) have 'Deep Sleep Mode'. Does DSM shut down all battery draining functions? I put my convertible into winter storage and have to use a battery minder to prevent the battery from completely discharging while it sits for several months. How completely does...
  16. Winter storage

    "Ship Mode"??? My convertible is presently in hibernation for the winter. I found that I have to have a 'battery minder' to prevent the battery from totally discharging. I just bought a 2018 Jeep JL and found that it has a 'ship(ping) mode' that totally shuts off all battery draining devices...
  17. Hood corrosion

    Hood Corrosion...Doors on F150? If hood corrosion is endemic on Mustangs, is there any aluminum corrosion occurring on the F150 hoods, doors, etc.? If not...what is causing it on Mustangs?
  18. Chicago Auto Show fail...DOH!

    DYNO destroyer Reminds of the Youtube video from a couple of years ago. Mustang at WOT, blew out the dyno and ruined the car.
  19. 48V EBooster as shown on Motorweek

    The 2018 Jeep JL 2.0L Turbo has a similar eBoost system with a 48Volt Lithium battery bolted to the underbody.
  20. Yes its true no new Mustang Body style till 2025-2026

    I guess Ford has decided to try to top the model T run...19+ years!
