Ford REALLY needs to improve their quality control/build quality. Especially now that Mustangs are no longer the everyman's affordable fun car, and have become 50-60K for a GT
That said, the good news is estimated only 6 vehicles affected and those have not been sold: "All affected vehicles are...
For those who have done this mod: how is the response of the paddle shifters?
Is it really laggy, or useable, or no different than the GT (if you've gotten to drive one)?
Oh boy... low coolant on my '25 GT after ~9K miles. Had the same issue on my '24 Ecoboost (which had a coolant leak from the factory). I traded in that car for the GT due to the many quality defects, but my '25 GT is apparently no better.
Other people having this? I never fiddled with the tank...
Did my first oil change, ~8800 miles. Noticed oil hanging on the bottom of the oil filter housing lip and some evidence it dripped onto a line nearby, maybe a small splotch on the felt undertray. Never any dash lights or error codes so far, no drips on the garage floor. I'd estimate total oil...
My brand new '25 had chips down to bare metal on the A-pillar by the window trim, nearly covered by the rubber trim. I suspect from when they installed the trim at the factory.
In the touch-up process I found that the window trim will reshape itself after some heat. You could try running a...
I emailed MP Concepts earlier this year to ask them to make a more modern-style front splitter similar to the Dark Horse Handling Pack one.
IMO the MP Concepts splitter is too S550-gen in style, too 2000s style--when the shapes were rounder. It fits the S550 body shape and natural lip shape...
So this car has an "auto-drift" mode, kind of like a video game cheat code. It makes sense since this car is frankly targeted at the video game/tokyo drift generation.
From analyzing the videos of this car "drifting" (1: Ford's PR release, 2: a K&N Filters Facebook post), this is what I have...
I'm definitely the target demographic for this. I love everything about this car. Had a 2024 Ecoboost (now a 2025 GT) and have never been ashamed of the 4cyl, in fact very pleasantly surprised by it and like it better than my GT in some ways, which I've written about on here before.
I've also...
Square pop-up "Engineering mode" popped up on the dash momentarily on startup today. But another startup message soon superceded it and the Engineering mode message did not persist, so I couldn't grab a pic.
Anyone ever had this before? It's been raining here, and with all the water leak issues...
These things depreciate fast. I thought I had it bad with my base GT, but I see it's across the board.
I got in and out of a '24 Ecoboost after 14K miles for almost exactly what I initially paid (minus tax/registration) so I thought a GT wouldn't be much worse. I was wrong.
I always felt the active exhaust tips look cheap. By comparison, Camaro active exhaust (which GM calls "NPP") has nice dual-walled tips that look very premium
Where is the water entry point, rear quarter window like my pic here?

I will check my trunk.
Bummed to hear you had a bad experience. I had a good experience with this dealer for service most recently. Per online reviews they are the best-rated Ford Service department in the area. Online reviews are often manipulated, so who knows.
I did have bad experiences there before too. For my...
May not have been technically a 20-year issue but I get the sentiment: Ford is messing up even the basics.
Like when 2024's came out with bumper/headlight gaps (basic body fitment, not space-age technology), and the rear bumpers all had ripples along the quarter panel seams. Or how my 2024 had...
I'm a hyper-meticulous OCD freak and here are some notes I made for myself regarding these parts:

There should not be that much trash there.
The black cushion thing is supposed to be pushed up against the metal tabs that restrain it from moving further backwards.
You can access it by removing the front wheel fender liner (a few 7mm bolts and the rest are plastic push-pins), then stick your...
Noticed this on both rear quarter windows. The rubber on the outside edge of the rear windows is separating, not completely and not fully all-around. Anyone else have this?
Maybe it doesn't pose a significant leak risk since the windows are sealed on via a ring of windshield glue on the...
Same here. Had a transmission-area clunk when gently braking to a stop, right ~3mph. Could feel it through the floorboard, sometimes almost felt like being lightly rear-ended. Same clunk shifting R<>D (10R80). At times I could also hear/feel the clunk when it decelerated ~17mph as well, though...
Ford is clawing at every single penny they can.
The whole paragraphs on "50 state emissions" is just verbal jiu-jitsu, translation: We're gonna charge California, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, etc. more because we can, and to avoid officially announcing a vehicle price increase. I doubt...
