Just for s&g’s I asked a ford tech about this. To be clear, there is NO amount of coolant loss or consumption, ever, that is considered normal, and this is not limited to mustangs. The phrasing in that section is bad. It’s likely a result of a technical writer trying to use a clear objective...

That paragraph says that if you are having to add 1 L coolant, get your vehicle to the shop ASAP because there are problems under the hood.

Can you screenshot where you see in the owners manual that coolant consumption is normal? I am certainly not a mechanic but as far as I know, coolant is not a consumable fluid, unlike engine oil.

I recently took my GT to the dealership for a decreased coolant volume. I took delivery of my s650 at the start of Feb 2024 and periodically checked fluid levels through the first several thousand miles of ownership. I was primarily watching oil level and saw no noticeable oil consumption but...

No issues were logged in the system and a visual inspection looks perfectly normal from under the car. Not directly related, I recently took it in for disappearing coolant. After a day of testing by the dealership, included extended pressurized testing, nothing showed abnormal. Taking it to a...

My GT did that a few months back when applying throttle from a stop. >0.5 sec delay from input then massive over revving followed by lurching then earth quake-like trans engagement with a shuddering drop in rpm to the point it nearly caused my car to stall out while making a left turn across...

Using an H or X pipe to delete resonator will affect your sound and provide a little weight reduction. You might get some power gains. What hasn’t been mentioned yet is the drone that you’ll have to live with which, imo, can be terrible. That will, of course, depend on the pipes you go with and...

I had the same hood corrosion issue when I took delivery of my new ‘24 GT. The driver door also had massive paint defect deep to the top coat. Got the hood replaced and I need to take it back to the body shop to have them look at it again, less than 12 mo later.

A few days ago I got a nice little message from my car This appeared at cold start up in the morning. I called my local Ford dealership and they remotely scanned the computer while talking to me. Guy said he saw (I believe) a few sensors throwing minor errors for improper shut down. The evening...

What is “self-draining,” and how does it work on these FP AOS? And being maintenance free? Does it move the collected fluid back down into the crank case?

That’s my bad. It’s the Co-pilot360 Assist+ that’s equipped. I remembered blue cruise being mentioned somewhere during ordering but couldn’t remember where. Likely just that the Assist+ features are derived from BC

These BlueCruise assistive features are definitely not an autopilot system. I, and most of us, get that, but these flawed system reactions seem like they’ve introduced us to unnecessary danger just by turning them on. Another thing that worries me is that Ford’s page states it’s “Hands-Free...

I trust Kokoro (or was it Cucuru?) will save us from the rise of the machines

I’ve briefly tried out the BlueCruise features on long road trips down relatively straight stretches of I-95 before and it worked just fine for cruising, but that was a few software updates ago. Coincidentally, my app shows my car downloaded 10.1.1 about one week prior to my car’s attempted...

Last night I tried turning on the lane keep assist feature on my GT while driving on a mountainous section of the interstate. I usually keep it off because in the past I felt as if the lane keep system actually lowered steering resistance towards the side of the line I approach, instead of...

Does your custom mode reflect on the dash screen? Even when using custom modes, mixing different mode settings for magneride, steering and computer/engine/shift response, it doesn’t show those appropriate icons on my dash. It seems that despite the custom mode option, the car allows only its...

Can we get some input from @Ford Motor Company on this one? I’d love to give feedback on how they can make this good car a great car

A few weeks ago I had a message displayed across my dash, a box stating Engineering Test Mode, which stayed displayed until I shut off the car and started again. Context: I drove four miles, shut the car off when I got to a notoriously long red light which was further prolonged by a train...

Besides the screenshots from the manual, Ford’s Mustang reps answered the break in question for me while I was waiting for delivery of my order. They also recommended varying the RPM as previously mentioned, not keeping it at one constant engine speed for extended periods. Those were my answers...

After 2.5 weeks of ownership the biggest issue I have is the paint on the driver door. There is what looks like oil or acid drip all over the actual paint. The clear coat itself is good. There was also a good bit of run under the front edge of the hood. The dealership has me scheduled at a local...
