I knew I should have kept my mouth shut. I should have just said Feb 30. Doesn’t matter. What changed my expectation was a call in response to a text, to someone working on behalf of ford almost 3 weeks ago, who was scheduling dealer recall appointments. He didn’t say inspect, decide, order...

According to the recall notice, my February 2025 build must have been February 1 or 2. The cut off date was the 2nd. I win the Ford Lottery.

Yeah, purported to be Ford. 636-498-9341. Said setting up recall appointments for Ford. Maybe not a Ford employee, but contracted by Ford.

But that's not what they told me up front. Ford, not the dealer, a Ford rep text me, and then I called him 2 weeks ago to set this up. He said the dealer would replace if part is bad, and this gives them time to order the part. Common sense says I'm not making this up.

I get it, but these service boys and girls don't explain that up front. So tell me Ford is only replacing the confirmed bogus motors. Tell me there's only a handful, and that it means Ford will test and replace on an as needed basis. Tell me the 30 minute test is really 2 hours because the...

I spend 2 hours at my dealer to conclude my 2025 GT needs the wiper motor replacement. Now they order the part, notify me it's in, and schedule an appointment to replace. Just what did I wait 2 weeks to schedule for? I thought this is the time the dealer needed to get the part. Be advised...

Brembo 6 piston front, 4 piston rear. Plus it has PP sway bar and shorty link set up. I know since I upgraded to Aluminum Billet sway bar links, and these are different for Brembo optioned cars.

I have the 2025 6 speed GT Premium with AE, and 20 inch 265 tires. I had a 2025 AT GT Premium with AE, and 19 inch 255's. First, there's a firmer ride with 20 inch wheels, but not by much. I believe the optional Brembo brakes with 20 inch wheels gets the PP rear suspension less any special...

Most AT cars will cruise at 1200 RPM in high, but a torque converter helps. I think you're smart enough to know when you need to down shift before applying generous throttle. What I notice is with a 3.55 rear end and 1.42 3rd gear ratio, I'm able to make casual turns in 3rd gear sometimes.

Interesting. Optional Brembo's are grabby, and these prevent smooth stopping technique. I just don't see any need for heel and toe unless racing, but driving habits are up to the individual. The only racing I did was stop light to stop light, and I didn't need fancy footwork to stop-unless...

Double clutching isn’t necessary, but heel and toeing is a PITA. I drove stick since 1970, and all this discussion is pure opinion. I rev match, double clutch, power shift, and once in a blue moon shift without clutching. I’m just happy to drive.

It matches engine speed. I turned off Rev Matching because I don't always select the next gear in the sequence of down shifting. I might want to decide what gear I want for the situation.

Totally unacceptable. Assuming it's your '26 Mustang,, take it back to the dealer for a warranty claim? This seems related to braking, but what do I know? I would expect my new car to be free of annoying noises that don't come from the speakers.

Can't fix it yet. Ford knows there's a problem. They've know about the problem. They don't know how these problems happen. The problem is Ford doesn't know how to fix the problem. That's a problem.

Total Recall. Recall mania. Recall this. I received by mail the windshield washer recall to find out at the dealership the car needs an "only the Dealer can do it software update" recall. The wiper thing somehow isn't resolved to replace yet, and so I'll wait until these can both can be done...

Present a claim to the store. Their insurance carrier may blame other shoppers, but the store needed to have someone retrieving carts. Otherwise the store may cover it if they want to keep your business.

I saw glitter in every oil change on my new 1980 Corvette, 4 spd. It took 15 years before hearing a tap, and finding my cam and lifters were toast. Took me 5 days to buy and install a mild performance Erson cam. That along with a free flow Cat, the car ran like it should have from Chevrolet.

I've replaced the lugs on other cars with chrome solid body type. The only problem is these have a tendency to rust. But, you can't stay with the OEM caps especially if you use an impact wrench.

I turned it off because I don't always immediately choose a gear. Also, I double clutch sometimes to get everything in sync.

I know my brother went through this on a used car years ago. Got his money, but not sales tax. I don’t know if it’s changed. Other than that, all you can do is consult friends and the internet.
