Not really what I wanted my first post on here to be about.. But here it goes.
2018 mustang gt a10. I've owned the car for approximately 2 months, The car currently has 900 miles. I noticed the famed typewriter tick around 800 miles. Decided to take the car into the dealer, was told there is cylinder scoring on one cylinder & ford authorized a replacement short block. Ford hotline authorized the replacement very fast! They must be getting pretty used to this by now. I was told the new batches of short blocks have the issue resolved. Not sure if I believe that. This really sucks I've spent a ton of $$ on mods that I don't plan on ever installing now. The dealer told me I could pick the car up and drive it until the new shortblock arrives...sounds like a possible way for them to buy some time incase it comes to a lemon law buy back?? 30 days at the dealership in my state is the requirements. Not quite sure what to do right now. The car is going to have diminished resale now that there is a shortblock replacement in its history. I don't trust ford has fixed the issue on the short blocks they have in stock. I bought the car with the intention of having a 9 sec street car. If I have to leave it stock I might as well drive a Camry.
