2018's with well-known 2015-2017 issues?

ANGST · Apr 24, 2018

Panel alignment was an issue with a few 15-17 .

Mine was the door alignment.

Nobody mentioned the most common one=UGLY. LOL.

No issues with the 15-17? Really? There were plenty. Just go read the Issues, Repairs, Warranty, TSB, Recalls section.

I'll start you off. As far as I know, they never actually fixed the cooling for the upper seats. They tried, but everyone who had the "fix" installed said it didn't work.

No issues on my 18 GT.......... :headbang:

Only had it a month but so far so good. Only annoyance is the springs squeaking as I drive over the cobbled roads in the town square.

I thought the AC issue had been mostly mitigated before the 17 cars came out?

2017 GTPP here with a 3/17 build date and the AC evaporator is currently being fixed at the dealer. There was no meanigful fix to the 15-17s. Time will tell on the 18+

Im over 5500 miles at the moment and none of the listed issues. I am experiencing a rubbing/grinding on the front passenger brake. Notable at anything under 30 MPH. Very noticeable upon braking. Taking to service this weekend.

From what I have read on these forums ( 2018 owners don't get your panties in a knot ) 2018 seems to have more engine problems than 2015 - 2017 in regards to exhaust valve springs breaking and possibly dropping a valve. Would be interesting to know if Ford changed the supplier of the valve train components for this to happen. Also when repaired under warranty they just seem to replace the broken parts which indicates to me there is no revision or answer to the problem so what's to stop it from happening again.

More 15-17 complaining. Say you don't like the 18 front end and get limited though :lol:

My 18 has a leaking oil pan gasket. Been at the shop for over a week now, as the part was back ordered and they didn't catch that until after it was apart.

Given how many issues Ford has had with composite oil pans in the past, I'm wondering if my car is just going to be the first of many.

michail71 · Apr 25, 2018

Out of the cars I've owned, if it's going to have issues is usually under 30K miles, typically between 20-30K. The next 100K is usually uneventful.

Well, dropped the Pony at the dealer this morning to find out what is causing the shake/vibration at low speed. Service tech says all four tires have inside wear and need to be replaced. Tech says tires aren't under warranty.......The book in my glove box says otherwise. I've contacted my sales manager.

Car has 5851.1 miles on the clock. Haven't found anyone else with mileage close to that who also has the Pilot Sport 4S and Magnaride. I'm guessing something is off with the suspension for all four tires to have the same wear.

I got my mustang because ford bought my f150 ecoboost back because of leaky oil pan and mainly because of grinding hubs from badly designed actuators.30 days out of service...i have had at least 4-5 brand new fords and never took them in for anything under warranty if ANYTHING goes wrong with the stang , i'm going vette, but it seems pretty solid and I don't baby my rides

Yeah. Got the call back. They are replacing the front two tires first and doing an alignment. Tires wont be in until Monday. Says they will start with the front as the back doesn't show the wear they originally though. Ill update once complete.
