  1. New recall, seems to impact 2026 mustangs (EcoB engines)

    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...
  2. Possible to upgrade steering wheel to get paddle shifters on Ecoboost Premium?

    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)?
  3. Coolant level when cold

    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...
  4. Evidence of tiny oil leak from oil filter housing

    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...
  5. Window Trim Issue

    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...
  6. Future Front Splitter Options

    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...
  7. 2026 Mustang RTR: Drift-Ready from the Factory: Inside the Development

    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...
  8. 2026 Mustang RTR: Drift-Ready from the Factory: Inside the Development

    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...
  9. "Engineering mode" message on dash on startup?

    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...
  10. Share the deal you got here

    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.
  11. Cut my hand on active valve exhaust tips.

    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
  12. Leaking Rear Window Seal/Seam

    Where is the water entry point, rear quarter window like my pic here? Rear quarter window trim peeling? | Mustang7G - 2024+ S650 Mustang Forum (Dark Horse, GT, EcoBoost, GT500, GT350, Mach 1) I will check my trunk.
  13. $500+ 15k Miles service - drove from TN to CA to get ripped off!

    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...
  14. New recall: water intrusion into BCM and connectors (25C43/25V546)

    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...
  15. Oil Change - part number for the push pins ?

    I'm a hyper-meticulous OCD freak and here are some notes I made for myself regarding these parts: Underbody Tray and Related Parts -------------------------------- Screw and Spring Washer - 4.2 x 25mm (7mm head) W715060S450B 15x (around periphery of splash shield) (May rarely need to replace...
  16. OTA Update - HOW Does Ford Do This? - Over Cellular / Wifi ?

    Cellular, these cars have a SIM card/eSIM. I believe Ford runs on AT&T.
  17. Question about dirt gathering between car frame

    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...
  18. Rear quarter window trim peeling?

    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...
  19. Dark Horse Driveline Clunk

    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...
  20. 2026 Mustang Updates / Changes Revealed

    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...
