  1. Smoke from engine after long drive

    Mine wasnā€™t a failure. They said the gasket was incorrectly placed during assembly. I think most of these leaks are assembly error at the plant.
  2. Smoke from engine after long drive

    I havenā€™t had any issues since the dealership replaced the seal on mine.
  3. Gauge Cluster Screen Going Dark While Driving

    Iā€™m definitely not the only person having the issue. It sounds like every s650 audio system may have this software bug in it. https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/audio-distortion-when-changing-climate-settings.159953/
  4. Audio distortion when changing climate settings

    I have the same issue. Audio system makes a buzzing noise for a second when I press the Mustang button while using wireless CarPlay. The s650 audio system seems to have a lot of bugs in itā€¦
  5. Anyone here have the Wheel and Stripe Package? If so have any pics?

    I have the 19ā€ PP wheels. My right rear tire was cut by a pothole the first week I had the car. Rim got scuffed too. Dealer resurfaced it & replaced tire for free.
  6. Gauge Cluster Screen Going Dark While Driving

    I havenā€™t experienced the guage cluster going blank. But every time Iā€™m playing music with CarPlay and push the Mustang button, the audio system makes a buzzing noise and wigs out for about one second. Iā€™ll probably bring it up at my first oil change. Anyone else had that happen? CarPlay seems...
  7. Smoke from engine after long drive

    Not sure about the total quantity lost , but I checked the oil level hot right before I took it to the dealer and it was about 3/4 up between the fill and full and I never lost oil pressure. Iā€™ll have to see if they cleaned it all up tomorrow when I pick it up. They said they were going to hand...
  8. Smoke from engine after long drive

    Dealer called and said my car is all fixed up. He said it was definitely an assembly issue and the seal was not correctly positioned. I guess the mechanics were surprised it made it 1400 miles like that. I asked if it caused any other damage and he said no. You guys may want to look closely for...
  9. Smoke from engine after long drive

    Anyone know if the 2024 GT uses all 14 bolts on each valve cover? Iā€™d look at mine, but wonā€™t have it back until next week.
  10. Smoke from engine after long drive

    Yup. That sounds right. Do you know if this is caused by assembly error? It sounds like this was happening a lot in past model years because Ford wasnā€™t using enough valve cover fasteners. I would think they would have fixed the issues with the s650.
  11. Smoke from engine after long drive

    UPDATE: I just got a voicemail from the dealer that has my car. They said they figured it out, but Iā€™m not sure exactly which part they are replacing. The voicemail said, ā€œitā€™s the spark plug tube that goes in, and theres a seal in there, and for some reason the seal didnā€™t get all the way on to...
  12. Smoke from engine after long drive

    The service manager just lifted it to take a look and found oil pooling under the car, in the underbody shields I think. They said they wonā€™t be able to actually take anything apart until next week to confirm whatā€™s leaking. Then it may be a long wait for partsā€¦
  13. Smoke from engine after long drive

    It sounded like it might be a leaky valve cover. Seems to be coming from that area.
  14. Smoke from engine after long drive

    I decided to take it to another dealer nearby. They said itā€™s leaking oil, so Fordā€™s giving me a rental to get home. šŸ˜ž Not sure how my dealer hasnā€™t noticed the leak before if itā€™s been there a while. I guess it took a long drive to see enough smoke to notice the problem.
  15. Smoke from engine after long drive

    Not until I get back home late this afternoon, but thatā€™s my plan as soon as I get back. I noticed some burning smells right when I got the car, but I assumed it was just labels on the headers or something.
  16. Smoke from engine after long drive

    All temps were normal. ~190* cylinder head and coolant temps. Fluid levels normal. No driving issues. Stopped smoking 5-10 minutes after shutdown. Ford is about 3hrs away.
  17. Smoke from engine after long drive

    After a long drive with around ~1400 miles on my GT Premium PP I smelled something like burning rubber. Not real strong, but definitely noticeable. I popped the hood and saw this smoke coming up from the left side of the engine. Anyone know what this is?
  18. 6-Speed Manual Shift Knob replacement

    I got the round billetworkz knob and it works fine as long as you get their reverse lockout too. It was easy to install.
  19. Stuff you want Ford to fix in the next software update

    All of my manual cars since around 2015 have had this feature. Even my base Honda accord resumes cruise control set speed after using clutch to shift.
  20. S650 Aftermarket Sound System

    My wifeā€™s grand Wagoneer has a McIntosh audio system. We drive it when we want to listen to music and itā€™s nice, but I have no problems with the 9 speaker system in my GT. It seems like the engine in the GT would drown out a great audio system anyway.
