Nice car, oddly familiar all around. ;)

Probably just exhaust system getting hot and expanding during warm-up.Yup (parked there for 2 hours). If it's normal, then it's all good.
So sorry, man! What a huge disappointment. :tsk: What's you next car going to be? G37?I hope you guys are enjoying your replacement vehicles.
Mine's trying to compete with my old 15'. I've taken it for service 3 times now, but was only road forced balanced twice. It got rid of the steering wheel "shake" (any speed), but still vibrates @60MPH+. To my luck, new issues have surfaced in the last couple weeks.
Here's my current list of issues:
- Vibration @60MPH (goes away if I go over 80MPH)
- Loud transmission metal "Clanking" sound when shifting P > R, or R > P
- Driver Fender Misalignment (slightly noticeable).
- Hood Misalignment (barely noticeable).
- The panel that's located below the driver side door is a bit loose. My guess is that one of the clips (or w/e holds it in place) broke.
- Trunk misalignment (noticeable). It's making contact with bottom grey plastic (2 scratches).
- Trunk's floor access cover/board is oddly shaped and it rarely stays in place.
- Both door rubber seals are deformed (top back corner). No water leakage, for now.
- Metal "Clunk" sound coming from the rear driver side whenever I hit a pothole. No clue what's causing it.
- The usual interior rattles. I've been fixing these myself though. I noticed that Ford added some padding, but it's still not enough.
Already had a talk with the selling dealer, but not much came out of it. I'm going to wait till January and take it back again for service since it now has more issues. I might lawyer up this time around.
NOT a FORD?? :lol:..... :tsk: What's you next car going to be? G37?
I am assuming you had your wheels / tires checked? I have driven by cars at highway speed, that have wheels / tires that are visibly goofed. Not sure if that is unbalanced or out of round.I hope you guys are enjoying your replacement vehicles.

You can't be serious with half of these complaints...I hope you guys are enjoying your replacement vehicles.

Better call a lawyer, start a huge lawsuit for millions of dollars, and get your car bought back dude. That sounds absolutely horrible!!! :lol:I'd like to add my car to this thread. Issues I've documented so far include:
1. When I start the car, I can hear the motor. I drove a hybrid where I couldn't hear anything when the car started. My Mustang must be broken. Can one of you recommend a lawyer you've been using?
2. Sometimes when I push the accelerator too hard, I am pushed back in my seat very abruptly. This can be frightening and uncomfortable and is a clear quality issue on Ford's part.
3. My gas mileage when I go the speed limit on the highway (65) is about 28 mpg. But I usually drive 15 over and only get 22 mpg. Ford estimated 24 mpg highway and that doesn't match at all what I get. Where is the quality control?
4. My stereo sounds so much better than my older cars that it makes my
decades old MP3s sound like crap. My previous lame stereos didn't provide as much clarity and made my sh!t music sound better. There should be a toggle switch to make the radio sound worse so my music sounds better. Boo Ford!
5. Sync 3 is so amazing I find myself distracted by it at times which is an obvious safety issue. Ford should not have put a product in the car that could encourage me to look away from the road.
6. I was driving behind a gravel truck and my car got peppered by stones. Now there are little chips in my paint. This paint must be too thin.
7. Sometimes in the morning I hear a slight squeak from my brakes when I first stop. I only hear it occasionally if my windows are down and I tilt my head just right. No one else who rides in my car hears it. But I'm convinced it's defective
8. My pocket knife came open in the car and cut the leather. If this was real or quality leather I bet my knife would have broken instead of cutting this cheap stuff.
There are many other "issues" with this "car" that I won't even get into...
:lol:It sounds like you need to buy a bicycle instead of a car
