Your advice on removing the locating pins was excellent, mine twisted right out after heating up. The worst part of the whole job was getting the old double sided tape off the insert! My son and I have sore fingers!

I question the design of the "trunk wedge" but whatever. I got mine on today, all 4 stud holes lined up, I jut had to make the two center ones bigger. Its on with 4 nuts and washer and double sided tape, just because it was on there from Ford, and really looks great. I may drill and tap the...

Great, thanks.

It looks like you have to remove the trunk lip and then remove and attach the spoiler to the lip, is that correct? I printed the procedure from the factory workshop manual, but its not clear at all.

This is very timely! I just today got a JR3Z-6344210-CA 2023 PP spoiler, already painted Grabber Blue, for free! The spoiler is $1,800, and we sent it out for paint, which was $200. We really needed one for a '24, one of the parts counter people got the wrong one, and it was painted before they...

I take 'em all day long, (except Carshield/Autashield) and do about $10K/week of work with extended warranties. If the problem is engine related, they WILL ask for oil change records, which you should have anyway. We sometimes get an inspector if the $ value is high enough, and its usually one...

We don't accept CarShield or AutoShield (same company) due to many issues with them, so this does not surprise me. Most of their policies are powertrain only, and they will fight every claim, and the once they do pay, they try to short us on labor. The manufacturers offerings are always the best...

I agree, but then we get stacks of stuff for F-150 and F-250, King Ranch etc, and of course Mach E and Lighnting.

I agree about the advertising, and the same is true for the Camaro. But Dodge advertised the hell out of of Challengers and Mustangs, and outsold them for many years. We get zero advertising info, flyers, posters or anything for the Mustang at the dealership. I have several 24x36 posters of...

We sell every member we can get and there's a waiting list for them. The hybrid ones are actually excellent vehicles. Mustangs, I'm surprised Ford hasn't gone back to Henry's original idea any color you want as long as it's black. Is anybody seen an ad for a new mustang?

I'm stunned, based on other cars I've worked with, a screen was anywhere from 5 to $7,000 if damaged

And given what you've stated above you should be as indignant as I am about where we're forced to work with cuz it sounds like you're in the same boat

So was I suspected you're not directly responsible for this stuff, Ford is. I still maintain that people on the ground with wrenches in their hands have a far better feel for this than you do. It's really not worth discussing any further we've gone too far afield from the original post you've...

From what I have to do is, and correct me if I am mistaken, but you make the HVAC assemblies for the dash. Would this be the same one, that in the S550 mustangs leak so often that when we call extended warranty for authorization and tell them what car it is they laugh and say oh another AC box...

You're correct. But Fords warranty expense is double what GM and stalantis is you think they would take a look at why. And robotics should make it even easier to track this stuff I stand by my original assessment that no one cares

46 years in dealership service departments, the last five with ford, and I have never seen poor quality stuff like this again, I don't know if it's the designers or the builders but nobody seems to put more than 2 minutes thought into anything. And when you start asking questions or when you ask...

I have not seen any Mustangs with this problem, but '24 F-250 and F-350 trucks have compressors failing at an alarming rate, and of course no parts available. I curse the suppliers who provide this rubbish, then I think they are only building items to the specs that Ford gives them, so then I...

No it does not. If you developed a problem related to it, then we'd have to complete it.

Just the devils advocate here, what if it happens the exact same way again?

You are not required to complete a recall, and the dealer cannot do it without infoming you, and they can't do it if you decline. So if you don't want auto stop start to "work correctly" just ignore it.
