Am I crazy to keep my current 350.

I have a 2016 GT350R and no issues to date... crossing my fingers

From observation, it seems the problem year was MY17. MY16 had few issues.

My 2016 track pack had zero issues to 14k miles when I sold it... zero. No oil consumption, nothing. My 2016R does not use oil at all either, but she's young in mileage, 3880 miles only thus far... But running strong. At this rate, she will rust before engine giving up

And to be back on track, for the OP, definitely keep it.

I was in the same dilemma with my BMW, had all sorts of problems, from injectors, to both fuel pumps, coil packs, alternator, crank angle sensors, vanos sensors... After I replaced them all, turbo's started smoking bad.
I decided not to sell... I pushed through, left 1/2 lbs of skin on it, and put 2 new turbos in... Now she drives like new.
Once you spend so much time and fix so many components, it's a shame to sell and let someone else enjoy your work.

I have a very early production 2017. It was produced in June 2016. I don’t know if that is to my advantage. I only have 10,400 miles on it and I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Same here. Mine is an October 2016 build

Well just talked to Ford, after a month in the shop the AC has been fixed and the trans mount replaced. Now they think the sound is in the motor and are expecting a possible motor replacement and another couple of weeks to month in the shop. This will be the second gen 2 motor the car gets. Broke the first gen 2 as recommended and both motors did not use excessive oil. This car is cursed lol.

I have the piston slap too , I cant stand it , no real oil consumption or any other problems though ....

Well I have to speak up for the 2017 crowd.
I bought a new 2017 late June build. Just hit 7K miles.
No leaks, no tick, no rattles, no AC problems, very very little oil usage, and bumper gap is acceptable. Engine pulls STRONG.
So...2017's are not all complete junk ;-)

So far another solid 2017. Will hit 17k today and no problems to report. No growing bumper gap, no high oil consumption or strange engine sounds

no problems with my 2016 GT350R

Got rid of the 16 for a steal on a 2018 Kona Blue with black stripes. Glad to be rid of all the problems.

Congratulations. Enjoy your ride and I like the Kona Blue for the Mustang.

There was a special run of Kona cars that had clearcoat and ceramic that goes transparent under artificial light. Out in the sun it'll re-appear in all it's glory.
