They have ordered parts for the rear differential on mine. Trip number 2. I didn't ask what parts, but those parts should be in Monday.

the dealer has mine now and Man I hope they man up and do me right rather than most "its normal" dealersJust reporting back...
Rear end rebuilt to remove the "Feet" going numb vibration. Check
New Driveshaft to remove vibration felt in seat and center console. Check
Now, only 200 miles on the new driveshaft, but for the first time ever on this car, it feels much more reliable and natural. I can feel the flat-spots on the tires after a long day on the concrete parking garage stall (At the office). And the normal steering wheel vibration from the rough roads or tires needing balanced better.
At this point I can finally feel "Giddy" about our new factory ordered Mustang. Even planning on adding mods now! It feels like a brand new car that is ready to get it on.
I hope this concludes our heartbreak and long road to get here.
Now, all credit goes to my dealership, Bowen Scarff Ford in Kent, WA.! They refused to go down the "That is normal" path that Ford was providing others on this forum. They listened to me as a consumer and made every effort to make it right. I for one am grateful for the determination, more than the results at this point.
If my dealer & the FSE's Ford assigned to my car had shown 1/2 as much diligence & concern I'd be driving my Mustang today instead of the Challenger ! :shrug:Now, all credit goes to my dealership, Bowen Scarff Ford in Kent, WA.!

I have the same gripe. One time I dropped my car off on a Monday, they said it would be ready Thursday, but they'd call to update me on Wednesday. They didn't call me until the following Tuesday to pick up the finished car, acted like it was no big deal. On the way home it exhibited the same vibration. At least this time they gave me a loaner. Going in again Monday, pffftSo I dropped mine of Monday morning and they said they would look at it Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning. So I called yesterday about 1 and they told me it was in the shop and they would call back that evening or this morning. No call. I love how it is not considered normal and no big deal to tell people that you are going to do something and then not do it. All they would have to do it call and say they haven't figured it out yet but at least they would have kept to their word.
Yeah I think we as a people have lost our way. I remember (sounding like an old fart) when the service department was there to service the customers to get the sales department repeat business when you wanted a new car. Service after the sale. Now it is just what can we get today no long term vision.I have the same gripe.
