This is a high performance sports car. You think people are over there on the Ferarri board arguing over what’s the cheapest octane gas they can put in? Yeah, the Mustang isn’t a Ferrari, but it ain’t a Prius either. Putting 87 octane in this car is just disrespectful.

Looks great! Any plans for mods? Spoiler, etc…

Good luck!

OK, cool. I’m thinking of my garage where I have a large workbench in front of the car, so I have about a foot of room in front and a foot in back. I have no room to pull forward enough to go in reverse and make it count. I’m shoehorned in there…

At this point, which is quicker…find one in dealer jail, or order a new one? As long as it’s built after July of this year, there’s no recall on it.

Ah, the old tried and true tennis ball. a classic. Sounds clever, but don’t you have to keep shifting it in reverse to see the back-up camera? If you look on Amazon, there are tons of options for tire bump-stops and even tire park mats that have a small bump to let you know you are about...

I get your point. So after 2014, Ford got it right for 8 years and then forgot how…lol. Off the top of my head, I can’t think of any other instance where a car was physically prevented from getting in a customer’s hands let alone for a 1% chance of an issue maybe happening.

It was a fairly common issue with S197s with the worst result being constant battery drain and inability to start, among what other random issues popped up. So it is technically a 20 year old issue, but as you say…an intermittent one. But….It’s also an issue that can pop up 1 year or 10 years...

Any Mustang built between June 2024 and July 2025 can’t be sold, or even demonstrated. Have to take that into consideration looking into buying. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2025/RCMN-25V546-6488.pdf - Notice to Dealers

That sucks…for an issue over 20 years old. Ford literally had over 20 years to figure out how to do this right.

From what I know, take out the passenger kick panel, remove box, open it up and look for corrosion. Then close it up and seal every spot that looks like a potential problem. But anything you do yourself might interfere with Ford’s upcoming inspection and fix. If there’s any corrosion you’ll...

I’m still getting used to figuring out where the front end of this car is. It has completely different reference points than my 06 GT. In my garage I marked the side wall to line up with my side view mirror, and more recently mounted a tire bump/stop to the floor. That works really well.

What a shit show. So no new Mustangs can be sold and no fix can be implemented for another 5 months for a problem that can be fixed with a tube of silicone caulk sealer? What am I missing here?

So true…AI is…..garbage in, garbage out. There is currently a guy suing AI because it convinced him he had discovered a new formula for pi. AI was yanking his chain like a 12 year old troll.

IF I used my heat gun, the stock spoiler would have come off so much easier. But I rushed it. Even so, it wouldn’t have been such a mess if I had known the panel underneath the spoiler was also held on with 3M tape at it’s edge. I was going to take off the whole rear module and start over...

Dammit if you ain’t right…I went down yet another rabbit hole, and I can’t get any definitive answers including my owners manual, which is borderline useless. Then I come across this 7G thread where others like you report, just drive and it learns...

So…no procedure has to be done at all? Just rotate tires and drive? Why do they sell relearn tools For 2015+ Mustangs?

OK I’m confused as hell. Initial web search told me you need a relearn tool…..then I dove deeper after your comment, and Every web search shows a different procedure, from using a relearn tool…to overinflate and drive…..to let air out the tires….. to a hidden button under the steering...

I’ve seen it happen time and time again, and it’s not a good sign. The most common issue, is even though they mean well, they get upside down in expenses, and used your money to pay for the jobs that came before you, and shit just rolls downhill from there. I’ve always been wary of “one guy”...
