Understood. My experiences been to three.. The last one pulled teeth to get something done. I'll bring it back to the last dealership. But it sat for 5 days and not even looked at.. They'll look at it in two weeks. I'm still going to push foward with a lawyer. I've given Ford more then enough time. Talked with two area reg managers over 12 calls and nothing.. I know Ford is better then this. How ever with my case.. That isn't the case. They're a few here that have had same issues and had they're mustang replaced or just bought back all together. Honesty with my issues. I love my mustang but the experiences with service, Ford reps and overall having to drive my car a certain way to enjoy isn't great, because the issue with drive train is ridiculous. I almost was going to put it on the lift and replace the clutch but why should I. They had he damn driveshaft out. They could have pulled and replaced it. But that warranty pay isn't favorable. So let's say it's not a problem. Normal operation. Even though they seen and drove the same package modeled mustang and no noise and smooth engagement. Like I said I've done my part. I've made 5 payments put 1500 down and 1500 from my trade. Im even trying to trade out. Ive had one offer that is favorable. But the lemon will give me all my monies and a small fee for usage.. So Ford thanks for nothing. My lawyer will deal with you. I'm done
Your Lawyer will make everything better? :lol:
This isn't just about a fender issue. This is about me bringing the car back the next day. Videos will be up soon with the clutch noises, the driveshaft was replaced. It's simple to make a statement here. Not knowing how many times it's been to the dealer and the number of days they've had it. It just stayed at the shop for 5 days. They didn't even look at it. Needless to say I have a case it's been in the shop for the same issues 4 times for the clutch three times for the driveshaft that was replaced. The last three weeks be used I also have a loose streering of one half inch side to side and a popping noise most likely a tierod. I will also post up the pictures before and after. The interesting thing is I love the mustang so much. That I just traded out yesterday. Into a 16 prem Gt. Steering is tight. Just like the 7-8 others I driven. Drive another performance pac again no noises smooth engagement no thud. And before we start saying its new and will happen when it's broken in.. I have two friends one w 15pp and a 16 both over 4K miles. They work as designed no issues. So I guess the others with the same issues and some have had gotten some resolve. I've had my cars normally 7 years at a time. I came from two manuals .. So ask you self if I was so miserable with the on going issues that I had the first week. Granted when I test drove my pp we went straight on the highway. I purchased drove it on the highway back home when I started to feel the issues when shifting in he city. Anyway, I will be in contact with Ford again explisning my issues along with copies and photos and videos. If they do not do something for my troubles. The money lost for buying a lemon which is just that. It's not just one issue its several. I hope hey do the right thing. Cause ford has made money from me. 1500 down on my pp 1300 positive rolled from my trade and 5 payments of 524... I don't like throwing my money away. But if I had to go trade it in a take a hit on interest with ford credit cause I only had it six month and rolled positive 1900 equity in to this new one. I still lost a lot of money. They're lucky I went and bought another.. Glad this one is all good so far.
I feel the Thud in my car as well but only when the car is stationary and I shift into 1st.. However, if I come out off the gear and go back in it goes in smooth...
Normal. 4800 miles here, mine thuds when N-1(unless you hold the clutch in for 2+seconds, 1-2, sometimes 3-4 and 5-6.
I guess it depends on the situation. The noise is slightly annoying but no big deal. There's a lot of play in the differential input on mine. Yes, it's a Torsen but it still has a ring and pinion input. Slamming gears with 400+ HP can't be a good thing.
