Eco Boost Common Issues?

[Thor]

I am purchasing a 2016 Eco Boost w/ 4,000 miles.

Are there any common issues I should be aware of/look out for?

I had the seller get a multi point inspection at the dealership prior to sale and they will be bringing proof of that.

Thanks!

The only common issues I have heard are:

* Lack of wanting to go to work or back home once in the car
* Sudden and inexplicable cravings to go very, very fast
* Being responsible for people's neck pains when they twist and watch you drive by

Get ready for the derp face on ppl when they ask, "v6 or v8" and you say turbo 4.

Gratz! Saved yourself some money too!
One common issue is the pcv's inefficiency of venting crankcase pressure Refer to this: http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36745&highlight=blue+smoke

this..

Also, I find myself making engine noises with my mouth when driving to make up for the lack of exhaust sound..

And I should clarify. I think the ECO is one heck of a car. I test drove a PP ECO before the GT. And while it was a hoot to drive, I knew that I would regret not getting my V8 and that V8 sound that just puts a smile on my face every time I put my foot to the floor! :love:

Nothing against my ecoboost but I'm on my way there. Any regrets?

With the announcement of Grabber Blue on th 2017, I may find myself in a V8 sooner rather than later.

Exhaust is currently in the mail.
Is there any way to disconnect the fake engine noise played through the speakers?

Love my eco-boost
The sound of a V8 is nicer, but my hearing is shot anyway
Only issue is that there was that complicated recall to prevent a fire. I have risked not getting it done.
