Picked up the Dark Horse today. Obviously still doing the noise/jolt.
A few things:
- Under the very first decel, it was louder than ever.
- I tried slowing down while in neutral a bunch of times and it never made the noise in neutral. A friend that owns a shop recommended I do that test.
-...
Yeah, this is the first and only brand new car I've bought for myself. It was going to be my baby that "never saw rain". So far it has been in the shop MUCH longer than any vehicle I have ever owned and most of that time has just been in the dealer parking lot getting rained and stormed on or...
I've never seen another Dark Horse in my small town. I was actually surprised when the Foreman said they had another one in. I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually a GT that was similar though. I did see a Grabber Blue GT in their shop on one visit.
Thank you. Mine is an A10, non-HP. I described it the best I could in the first post. I would best describe it as a dull squeak under deceleration and you can feel a small jolt in the steering wheel when the noise occurs. It's especially noticeable if I get the car up to about 45 mph then...
Ford is ridiculous. Check your Dark Horse's for this "normal" issue, too: https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/dull-squeak-under-deceleration-feel-it-in-steering-wheel-too.177733/
And here we go. All of a sudden after replacing parts for almost the past 2 months, now they said the sound is normal. Anyone else have this "normal issue"?
"My shop foreman just got with me. He had submitted a hotline to ford (A request for technical assistance). They said that the sound you...
Yeah, I knew Ford had issues before buying the Mustang, but thought since this is essentially the same car they've made since 2015, with some relatively minor updates, that it would be pretty sorted out. And we're 3 years into the current generation. Bad call on my end.
Appreciate the input. I believe the "head service guy" was the foreman. Both he and the previous tech that went on a ride with me acknowledge the noise/jolt isn't normal, which I do appreciate that they acknowledge it. I've heard horror stories of some techs saying everything is normal to...
I like to turn the wrenches when modding and mostly maintaining my vehicles, but for just having a brand new car work the way it's supposed to from the factory, I'm not putting in the time and energy and money that Ford should have to. I can save a lot of money buying used vehicles for that.
There is absolutely no way I'll look to buy another Ford after my experience with this Dark Horse. We've had 2 Chargers, a Challenger, and a TRX in fairly recent years. They have all been great and the TRX in particular is just AMAZING. RAM also has some new and exciting trucks out now.
The head service guy went for a ride with me to hear and feel it himself this time. He said they had another Dark Horse in at the same time making noises during acceleration. These cars have just become overpriced junk. The 3 S197s we had/have are great cars. This is ridiculous, especially...
After my "Monday at 9am appointment", I finally got the call a few minutes ago here at the end of Friday that it is fixed. Took it for a test drive and nothing is fixed at all. The issue is still there, the new motor mount did nothing. Left the car at the dealership again.
Thursday morning and my car has done nothing but sit in the dealership's parking lot this week. So much for my Monday at 9AM "appointment". At least I received an update that they haven't touched it. They are waiting on a "special rack" to become available for the Dark Horse that another...
