- Water Pump - Reverse Camera - Run synthetic oil/change oil frequently. Get a catch can. Watch for oil consumption. - Low Fuel Sensor Injector Pressure (get the model B)

[@scurfie2343]

I have 2015 from new. I changed the oil and filter after about 500 miles and went with straight synthetic oil and filter every 5,000 miles. I added a catch can too. Zero oil consumption. Thanks for the heads up on the water pump!

[@CHEECHMUN]

Only a drop of oil on my catch can. I ended up disconnecting it.

[@scurfie2343]

@@CHEECHMUN That is weird.

[@liquidsmokemustang1537]

@@CHEECHMUNThat is weird. I have about 1/3 full in my catch can at each oil change (3000 miles). I’d put the can back on bro. It just helps keep the valves cleaner.

[@NoContext414]

Bit late to the show but thus far I’ve had my 2017 PP for roughly 2 years. I bought it certified pre owned from Ford with 50k miles. Here is everything that I’ve had to fix (a little crazy). - AC Compressor - Water pump - Front control arms - Full clutch replacement(Exedy-Stage 2) - Rear windshield (defective defrosters) - Both rear axle half-shafts (upgraded to gt350 after these failed) Moral of the story don’t buy used if you can help it. The only out of pocket item(s) were the clutch kit and GT350 axles which was about $3700 after labor. The other items were under warranty.

[@JakeTiesler]

Thanks for sharing, just a reminder to anyone reading. The only people who post usually are people who have major issues. The people who don’t have issues don’t post as much usually because there’s nothing to say. So sample size is skewed.

[@liquidsmokemustang1537]

Interesting. I have a 2015 I bought brand new and haven’t had a single problem. Doesn’t burn oil and I change the oil/filter religiously every 3000 miles. Although, I only have 16,500 miles on her. Thanks for the water pump info. I’ll keep an ear out for any weird sounds from the engine bay.

[@johnandstephanie377]

Same. My 15 GT PP is at 52k miles now.

[@MustangGuru]

62k on my 2015 Roush stage3. Very small oil leak on valve cover driver side back of head, A/C no issues. My 82 shifts beutfully but every bearing in it makes noise. MGW race spec shifter made a huge difference. No oil burning issues, water pump hanging in there. Coil packs at 61k 4 of them started misfiring.

My water pump on my 15 went out around 70k, at 95k now and no worries now. Girlfriends Gen 1 at 102k and never had an issue either.

[@kenken33333]

2016 Mustang GT here (bought new for $41,000). Passenger window motor at 26 K (haven't replaced the motor yet). AC compressor and flush at 52K miles ($2500). Intermittent camera outages at 40k (dealer says NTF). The car has 56K miles now and I'd be afraid to drive it across the state. This is first and most def the last Ford POS I'll ever buy. I always buy Japanese and I remember why I do now!

[@FerRod2113]

Same here lol so many problems and it’s a stock car. I’m just working with what I got at this point. But this is definitely the last mustang I buy

[@laloramirezmusic8839]

Mine is same year also ac compressor it’s going bad suspension sucks

[@ChaseDaPlaya]

How often were you changing the oil? I hope every 5k

[@FerRod2113]

I had the water pump go out at 105k miles or so, the back up camera went out too, the heater core coolant hose (the one that goes to the firewall) went out on me (both sides), I had piston slap at 54k miles and got a new long block under warranty, coyote tick just happened the last oil change after 65k miles on the new motor and I added liqui moly and it went away completely. I notice it burns about 1/2 a quart of oil every oil change but I have always used full synthetic oil. Never conventional and I change my oil every 3-6k miles depending on how I drive it as I do a lot of long distance commutes on the highway and I don’t street race anyone. But I’ve had other stuff go out too like my cooled seats on both sides, the GPS stopped working, and my tail light went out but I fixed it by disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes.

[@christophercantu2005]

AC went bad early on in my 2015. Dealership said it was a bad evaporator. Back up camera started cutting out intermittently. Dealership told me nothing was wrong. Years later there’s a recall for it. Early this year the water pump gave out. Now, I noticed a clicking sound coming from the shifter above 30mph. I read some comments that it may be a loose sticker on the drive shaft. Hopefully that’s it 😔

[@ckgaming9955]

I’m having the abs wheel sensor atm, mechanics told me it’s the wheel tone ring, it sorted itself out for a few days and now i’m having the issue again, I’m gonna try to clean them and see if it fixes itself, fingers crossed lol

[@PaulCortes-v2q]

I have a 2015 mustang at 130k miles Only problem I got is water pump at 92k miles. The rear light at 96k miles Oil every 3 months. Right now I am thinking change the two belts Belt ac 50.00 and Serpentine belt 109.99 due to high mileage.

[@MustangGuru]

Most of the oil consumption is due to the PVC hose that goes into the valve cover has no baffle so oil gets pulled into the PVC system.

[@Dee--Jay]

I got the 16 GT and my water pump just went out 2 months ago at 77k miles. It overheated my car when it went out and i also had tons and tons of smoke

[@floycm1]

I know this is past its due date. I have a 2015 GT/PP. I have had my entire A/C replaced, doesn’t work as efficiently as stock… BS excuse from the dealership… whatever… However, at around 68k/mi(last year, late 2023. The car started smoking after startup, not initially… the smoke catches(stays contained?) in the engine bay and mileage doesn’t matter…). First hard stop, 1 or 15mi… smoke pops out and then never happens again, until the car sits for 24hrs (FF here so it often sits for 24/48 hrs. After that one stoplight the smoke is gone. I was convinced it was a valve cover gasket…. This “old news”, makes me happy, even though my ‘15 with 75k/mi. Is out of warranty. Planning on keeping the car and upgrading it( Roush, and rebuild is better than a Corolla or a Tacoma for $50k(🤪) No other known issues, love the car!!!

[@robertweber6326]

I have a 2015 GT with no water pump, or wheel speed sensor, or oil consumption. But the back up camera brook at 30K and cost like 700 dollaars and now there is a recall on it. I contacted Ford and was told basically to bad that its not covered unless it breaks now.

[@jodl73]

Burns a quart of oil every 1000-1500 miles? I guess I never notice. I have my oil changed according to time, not mileage, about every year. The reason being is the oil will hardly get changed if I went by mileage. I have a 2015 and hit 10k miles last month.

[@CHEECHMUN]

I have under 18k as of Sept. 4. 2024.

[@ArtFam520]

My engine coolant overheat light in my 2015 eco just came on 10 minutes ago. Thank you!

[@stewart-D]

What weight oil is in the engine , in the Australian manuals ford say to use 5w30 instead of 5w20 , I haven’t experienced engine oil lose

[@NewGuyMix]

Be advised, the oil burns quickly the first 10000 miles, after that it will sort itself out

[@JakeTiesler]

Yes sir that’s exactly what happened

[@NewGuyMix]

@@JakeTiesler yesssssirrrr

[@CHEECHMUN]

I have under 18k on my 2015. Today I went to Wally-Mart. 09-04-3023. On the way back, the car seemed like it was starving for fuel. I had to keep pumping the pedal to keep her going. Almost feels like water may be in the fuel. Going to look for my scanner to see if there are any codes. I wonder if the water pump is related to not changing to the new updated antifreeze?

[@lefty5463]

It depends on the owner. Most people don't take care of the car. I know people who has a '15 and had no problems.

[@joshuaharrison5874]

Bam you nailed mine! 47000 and mine just went out

[@MustangGuru]

I’m at 54k on original water pump. Have one to replace it it’s in my “Just in case “ stock. Lol

[@darcyiix9296]

Is it expensive to replace water pump?

[@dapchi2atl708]

Definitely had the water pump issue

[@pcortes1987]

A problem I encounter 2015 Ford Mustang v6. Is that brake light is always turn on. Usually you need to press brake and press button to start the engine but due to brake light being on. Just pressing the button will start the vehicle. I had to unplug the battery in order for it not to drain the battery. After three days I was driving my mustang and notice that I couldn’t go pass 50 miles. I had my a mechanic check it out and they gave me a problem with brake light. I bought a switch replace brake light. A blue piece that’s cost me around 40.00 bucks. After that my car was fixed. I could drive pass 50 miles and required my foot in the brake to turn on the engine.

[@breadwinner6054]

Take it to a ford dealer it’s a common problem in 2015 models. They will fix it for free it’s a recall.

[@jackshrader4161]

I have a 1991 Nissan Pathfinder 4 x 4 with 185k miles and uses about 1 quart between oil changes at 5000 miles. I use only Amsoil.

[@JakeTiesler]

Pretty normal - the new mustangs sometimes use oil - old used cars sometimes don’t

what motor are these problems with?

[@AlavonMajor]

How about driver side headliner not tucking in to the door weather strip properly? Anyone have any remedies or work arounds?

[@CHEECHMUN]

No problem there, but the left sun visor arm pops off sometimes on the 2015.

[@floycm1]

Driver side window destroyed weather strip. I think it’s a known issue but “don’t care” issue. Definitely an issue. Every 9/10th time I close the door… the window doesn’t seat, inside, it wants to go outside the sill.

[@ramirotapia5142]

Lets not forget the typewriter thick noise

I was lucky and both of my mustangs don’t have it so far so good

Yes, if your GT has a V6 Lmoa

[@iTraderVic]

My AC started blowing hot air around 25k miles and took in for warranty service. They replaced pretty much every part evaporator, condenser and compressor. Now I’m at 80k miles and AC started blowing out hot air again. Took into a mom and pop shop to get diagnosed and they said I need to replace the compressor and condenser. They couldn’t diagnose the evap core since it’s behind the dash. So upset and will never get a ford again.

[@iTraderVic]

Update: Bought the AC Condenser and Compressor from GPD ($390) and took it to a shop. Labor total including recharge was $670. They also installed a new expansion valve that came with my condenser kit. Including everything it was about $1100 fix. Getting rid of the car was an option for me but I just paid it off so I don’t want car payments at the moment. Atleast inflation helped me get more out of the car when I decide to sell it 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@floycm1]

Evap core is BEHIND the ENTIRE dash…… fact!!! Have pics of my car at does after 4 days “B*t*ng”… sent me a pic with my 25k/mi car in pieces…. air has never worked properly… and I just imagine my air cooled seats do something.

Honestly, find a seller that has dealt with these issues… the 2015-17 mustangs are EXCELLENT CARS. Value shows with. 2015 with 75k/mi… catcha almost what Toyota is asking for a Corolla ($40K). Hard pass, rebuilding this engine.

[@car-diologist]

I own an S550 GT premium with performance pkg. Purchased brand new, well maintained and as boring as it sounds, its never been raced etc. Absolutely hate the car. Ford ruined my nearly 50 yrs of being a car enthusiast. Ive given up, just going to get a boring Frontier. Ford can suck it

[@djreggieregrr2420]

Oh my God, my man I just found your KZbin channel. I currently own a 2016 V6 manual. First of all bought it brand new at 36,000 miles after the warranty Eco.VAP. Gone! They wanted 1800 to replace it which requires I’m sure you know taking the full dash out. I said the hell with that end up getting it sealed by a mechanic using for like 300 and something dollars it’s worked for a couple of years water pump is now gone maybe not all the way but I have this horrible grinding squealing noise when I turn on the air conditioner or the heater that’s the water pump is going out rotors and brakes 936.00. AC compressor two months ago 800.00 I’m so sick of this piece of shit car still looks great but I don’t know if I want to put one more dime into it nor do I want a car payment as it’s been paid for two years. There should’ve been a recall on the AC and listening to you was just pissing me off even more. 😂

[@hofferjh]

I paid cash for my 2017 I haven't driven that much cause I was modifying the outside to make it as a Batmobile I end up with the fuse Box being messed up but I didn't find that out from Ford all they're saying is I modified the inside so it's my fault I did something wrong with it and I needed to go somewhere else well I well I call these people I came over and tested it and told me what was actually wrong with it but the way Ford is made that part you can't go anywhere else but forward to get it done So I basically argued with them and they're going to go ahead and put what the guys said I paid for the put that part in and then I'm gonna go ahead and take everything off from the outside what I made my bat mobile and I'm gonna tell for the stick it where the sun don't shine and I'm never gonna deal with Ford

[@floycm1]

Maybe one of the better years…it’s consistent. Ohhh except for the Killer airbag recall, that they just send out…. How long has Takara been an issue and I just got a recall for it.
