That is incorrect. It is right up against the radiator assembly. Furthermore the harness was put under strain to get it to go that way. I was an electrician many years ago. You don't bend and twist a wire any more than you have to. The correct routing would have exposed the harness to less heat and put under less duress. That harness is twisted up pretty good.It's not exposed to any more heat regardless of how it's routed.
guess ford wins with the brainwashing. Through allowing this assembly/process flaw to Continue, they’ve convinced you that poor panel gaps are just the way it is. Some cars are very good and some are not. How does this not fall back onto Ford? Fenders aren’t some naturally occurring resource that Mother Nature provides as-is.I think covid19 is the main issue here, given most GT500's have been built during it. Ford was having difficulty getting workers to show up at all, so I can see how QC has slipped. Morale is likely low as well. The panel gap thing is never gonna be fixed, so idk why people still get mad at that. It's clearly a design of the car thats at fault when there is so much allowed variability. Hopefully it gets fixed by the next generation..
As for the other stuff, don't mistake me for excusing it. However the harness thing to me isn't a big deal. It's not exposed to any more heat regardless of how it's routed.
Please do, it would serve as a guide for other owners as far as things to look for. And be a cautionary reference for prospective buyers.Man, it is what it is. You of all people know I'm not trolling but reporting. I have been a ford guy all my life. Then this.... on the most expensive ford that you can buy (outside of a GT).
I get your sentiment, but I'm not buying it. I'm not here bashing, again reporting. The things here are fact. There is more. Do you suggest I not say anything and keep quiet?
Dude, I'm pissed off. There is no excuse for this lack of quality. Maybe tomorrow I will update the list with the other things I have found.
Tom my Great Friend; I've not been on the site over the last 3 or 4 weeks and just ventured over today to check it out again. I want to tell you that Iam truly VERY SORRY for all this PAIN & AGONY that you are going thru. Making them an offer to take it off your hands I felt I needed to chime in. Now I've only got 330 miles on my car and have had no problems. Do you think by now if I was going to have those types of problems they would have already shown up????? This whole post makes me shiver, get the willys, and makes me kinda "rethink" just how long I should keep my car. Here in Omaha we DO have the Nebraska Lemon Law that within one year if it just can't be fixed we can return the car to the dealership and get our money back. TOM, AGAIN IAM TRULY VERY SORRY FOR ALL THIS SHIT THAT YOU ARE GOING THRU. THIS STORY MAKES ME VERY SAD.I wholeheartedly disagree. I spent a boatload of money on this car to have issue after issue. Maybe your money grows on trees, but I value the dollar that I have and earn. If I had known this car would be slapped together with blatant disregard for quality, I would have never got involved.
Ford, if you are reading this, please contact me. Reimburse me for every penny I have in the car and its yours.
Its a standing offer.
Anyone considering this car.... think twice..... know what you are getting into

Yes, I think there may be something to that. When many of your job 1 cars were being built, a lot of special attention was given to them. Many of you had oversight from (the guy) over in Flat Rock. Anytime any of my cars had special supervision, they always were fine. Combine covid and lack of supervision and I guess this is what you get.Sorry to hear all your issues Tom. As others have said, guessing these are mostly “COVID car” related issues.
Mine was built in early Dec and the only thing I have found so far is the coolant routing behind the supercharger. Fixed that one myself. Oh, and now, the camera issue apparently all Fords have.
Have tracked my car in 10 sessions now at COTA (plus Track Attack) and the car in mind-blowing. The DCT, engine, cooling and brakes are all amazing. So the “GT500 Parts” all work well together. But it’s still a Mustang body and production line.
I did exactly that. Got it home, installed the oil separator, removed the rain tray and put the car on the lift to check it over. All looked very good. (Battery cover was in the trunk as they had to jump start it after sitting in the rail yard for a month)...... I suggest each new owner go over their car with a fine tooth comb. Put the car on a lift, examine every harness, every bolt, every part for correct installation and serviceability. You should be able to drive the car off the lot and not have to worry about these things, but I must say with this car you do. Just because you got a good one, doesn't mean that they all are.
