3 Reasons WHY the 2018 MUSTANG is NOT RELIABLE! (Common Problems)

[@videomaniac108]

I am in the market to get a new sports car and had been considering a 2018 or 2019 Mustang GT with a PP1 option. After doing research and seeing all the problems people are having with the Coyote engine and the crappy MT-82 transmission(the one I wanted to get) plus Ford's lack of transparency in dealing with these problems, I crossed the Mustang off my list. I'm currently looking at either a low mileage used Porsche Cayman S or a 2019 Nissan 370Z sport coupe. Ford is taking an iconic street performance car that they have made very good changes to and ruining it with cheap and shoddy manufacturing processes. The manual transmission is made in China??? and so I can't possibly imagine what problems might arise from that😏 The sleeveless cylinder bores are being made in a cheaper way than the traditional electroplating of Nikasil, as other manufacturers(Porsche) have done. I have seen the correspondence between some of the Ford techs at dealerships, who are dealing directly with these problems, and Ford corporate, who has to authorize such diagnostic and repair work. It seems as if the techs, in many cases, are doing a good job and trying to do what is right for the customer but that they are being stymied by a corporate bureaucracy that is controlled by accountants and lawyers. It seems that the only language these management cretins understand is dollars and cents in their pockets and that only when a customer boycott of their product results in a significant drop in profits will they pay any attention to QC issues. I thought that Detroit had learned this lesson decades ago when the Japanese car makers took over the American car market with affordable and reliable cars.

[@KlipschHead281]

As an owner on an '18 GT A10 that has seen a crap load of drag strip passes I have had zero issues with the car, it's tight as a drum, no rattles and is fast as hell. Visit any Camaro forum, mopar forum and you'll see all of the issues the other brands have since people never post when they're happy, only when they're pissed. Then come back to youtube and look up the videos complaining about the problems, including videos from people who don't own them but make videos anyway. Good luck in your decision.

On my second mustang, went from a 2010 V6 to a 2016 V8....soo many problems with both, control arms failing, wheel bearings failing, gaskets etc. The 5.0 engine ate an entire valve cruising on the highway at 40k miles and needed a new engine, now at 80k head gaskets are done and need to replace those. Ford is severely lacking in quality.

And here we are 6 years later and none of these "issues" are really problems, just quirks. Despite the engine noise, it doesn't make it less reliable. Despite the transmission harshness, it doesn't make it less reliable.

[@greatpariscars]

Class-action lawsuits against Ford due to both the manual and automatic transmissions in the Ford Mustangs. This has been going on for years. They are not good transmissions. However, the Shelby GT350 gets the Tremec transmission which is smooth as butter. Why doesn't Ford put the Tremec in all the Mustangs?

[@JustGamingVisuals]

It’s true I have a 10speed and honestly at first … it works like a charm it’s perfect !!! But after the first 12k miles it begins to get jerky and just feel sluggish I honeslty hate it I’ve been dealing with this hesitation since 12k miles and car just doesn’t feel right like it never knows the throttle your putting down

All car companies have issues, there are plenty with the Camaro, God knows there are issues with multiple Mopars and the stats show this so singling out the Mustang is disingenuous. Everybody could make videos like this for the big 3.

[@profstein-bq2tc]

i've yet to see any other brand but ford with issues at low mileage and paint issues on cars that haven't even hit the 5 year mark, yet most other brands has cars 3+ decades old with the original paint and went over 100+k miles with almost all of its original parts and zero issues.

[@hochhaul]

Plenty of issues with the Camaro? Last time I checked the Camaro didn't have horrendously bad piston to cylinder wall clearances (.006" is unacceptable), trash Chinese-made manual transmissions with weak aluminum shift forks, cam phaser issues (YET AGAIN), etc. The Camaro's 8-speed has had issues but there is a TSB released in late January early Feb 2019 that identified that the issues with TC shudder and hard shifts is because Exxon Mobil identified problems with their Dexron HP formulation that lead to it absorbing moisture which affected the viscosity of the fluid. Your constant deflection of the major issues with the 3rd gen Coyote are not hilarious, they're also pathetic.

Exactly I'm finished with all of the big 3. They're made in china and mexico. Toyota and Honda are more American than they are. Lol

2019 pp1 6 speed,4800 motor replaced now it’s back in the shop at 13k engine noise again and oil leak, getting rid of it and will never buy another one

[@EGARides-87]

This an extremely uninformed video. The "typewriter" tick is common on every 5.0, from the foxbody up. Additionally, this is common on most engines when it is cold. Once it is warm, it's good to go. The "Piston Slap" is different and will stay with the vehicle the entire time it is idling or running at low RPM's. This issue is due to the new cylinder wall lining and is quite often solved by using 5W-30 oil or an oil additive. The manual transmission "lockout", which is usually in 2nd and subsequent gears, is caused by shifting too rapidly and is remedied by installing an aftermarket short shifter. Ford will often not warranty some of these small issues, and they are solved by a tad bit of ingenuity and being educated on the issue. My 6 spd 2018 has just under 20k miles and not a problem

[@DesignatedDrinker12]

Our 2018 6 Spd has been nothing but a dream, no issues whatsoever.. we love it!

U are spot on bro . I tell ppl all the time run 5w-30 with a coyote and you’ll be ok 👍 and

[@darreno1450]

The rattle and breaking forks are pretty new. However, the tick has been around for a long time. I agree the first gen always has issues, but this is ridiculous. It's as though they didn't even test these cars before release. And the Challengers are not without their own problems as well. Bad water pumps and electronics failing are not uncommon. There was also an issue with some where paddling up caused a gear shift down instead. There are issues with the guage clusters going dead and infotainment screen not responding etc. But overall, the engine and trannies are more reliable than the Coyote. Remember Ford even had issues with the Voodoo engine in the GT 350. Let's not make excuses for them anymore.

[@profstein-bq2tc]

i feel as if a land rover would at least make it to the end of its warranty before mechanical issues start showing up.

[@joelstatosky1817]

The mustangs are fairly reliable but with some annoying issues that if are not addressed early on can be really scary especially if the car is out of warranty. The fact that I would have to modify the mustang to get better reliability is annoying

[@charlymora]

My 2015 Mustang GT with PP (completely stock) is dead. In 2017 I had to pay $2,000 to replace the AC Evaporator. A week ago, an Air valve hit the piston due to its spring broke. The engine is 100% damaged. I can't afford $12,500 for an installed rebuilt engine. The car has 86K miles and it is in the process of being junked as we speak; I can't repair. I lost way too much in this car. No more Ford of Mustang ever again.

The mass majority of them don’t have problems. I happen to love my car which was hard to say about my 17GT. If you got one you would not regret it.

@@jochenheiden Well if you actually listened to what he said the gen 3 Coyote is basically a new engine along with a completely new automatic transmission and heavily revised manual transmission all in one year. There will always be growing pains on a 1st year production of anything new, just ask Chrysler/Fiat about their 8 speed autos, Chrysler 200, Dodge dart...... The Coyote had cylinder #8 problems on year 1 in 2011 and has been rock solid since. Again new tech at the time for Ford. The Coyote engine is at least a decade ahead of Mopars V8's, their only solution is adding more boost and displacement because liter to liter they don't stand a chance against a Coyote. I'm not shitting on Mopar, but its dated tech, both engine wise and chassis wise.

Im looking into getting my 1st mustang ...my 1st ford.

Before anyone says anything about the 6 speed still being a week point in previous gen yes this is ture but there seems to be ways to prolong or make them last while still enjoying the car. This is thinking out loud and all just ones opinion. Its still unfortunate that ford isnt really doing anything about the 18/19s even if i were to buy the previous gen and get 15-17 the fact that ford isnt backing there product or helping the customers more...fingers crossed that they will come up with hopfully a recall and permanent fix soon.

Nothing to worry about just don't beat on it when it's cold. But it is definitely not normal since this will be considered a manufacturing defect. Same reason for the LS's and 2gr's. Bare in mind both the LS and 2gr-fe had steel sleeves for cylinder wall, so they were tougher. Same can't be said with the coyote's plasma coated wall as of now.

I have about 90K miles on it now but the time I took it to auto zone i had like about 75K miles on it and when I took it to a mechanic I had around 80K on the car.

Can’t count all the rear and front axles, transmissions, drive lines I’ve had to replace. As for engines GMs are the only ones I’ve ever had a catastrophic failure on and I’ve had many. From stock engines, stock with bolt on up grades, custom rebuilds to GM factory crate high performance engines.

100% wrong. The noise are the TiVCT mechanisms making noise while cold until the warm oil makes it up to the valve covers and their locations. This was a TSB all the way back to the 2011 5.0. A calibration change helped via the TSB but it was not fully solved. Piston slap is heard at idle and does not go away once warm. I've owned 2 2011s and a 2014 and 2017.

Hi Rush Shift- love your videos Dude👍😁 my question is- When you got your GT, did you try to break in your engine for the first 500-1000 miles? Because usually when you get a brand new vehicle especially manual transmission. Its best to break in the engine and drive it for minimum of 500 miles or 1000 miles even without driving it hard. I think that goes to all cars. Anyways cheers 🥂

[@gen13pinoy]

DUDE...it's a FORD. You need 3 reason. My mom fiesta have transmission replaced 3 times at only 25k miles. LEMON or bad design?

[@2003evodave]

Proven bad design.

[@JohanSalvattore]

WILL doing your own oil changes void your warranty?? No right? I’m assuming if I keep all receipts I should be fine. I used to be a tech for Honda so that should help my case a little.

[@ClickClan100]

Lemme know

[@coyote5.02]

Stick to the 2nd gen coyote engines and just change to the 3rd gen intake manifolds.

What about late 2019 plate are they the same

Damn I was about to buy a 2015 gt manual but I end up buying 2014 ss ls3 and no regrets ❤️❤️😘

[@1manarmyguzman629]

Thought the 10 speed was soo good?? So Camaros n Stangs both unreliable?

[@KlipschHead281]

No, they are reliable, this is an SRT fan so what could we expect from him. I own an A10 equipped '18 GT and have made 90 passes on it this summer, not one single issue it takes it and I drive home.

I have a 2018 10 speed GT runs great

@@randomjones1056 well the Hemi has a serious issue that can take out an engine. The cause is low oil going to the cams during ideling.

This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about it took 2 days to get my transmission rebuilt 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@alexmerrill2259]

Chris Sanchez stfu it was over a week and you shouldnt even have your car back because its not fully safe

[@RushShift]

Exposed 😂

[@Takingrandom]

Alex Merrill First day it got checked. Second day they removed the transmission. Third day they had to get approval from ford. The next 2 days waiting on parts. The fifth day was when they fully rebuilt the transmission. The next 2 days they don’t work on the weekends

[@stefbro]

Any more cars recommendation?, I tried the camaro but it started having issues back to back now I really feel like American cars are shit and they make them cheap

[@Icygt500]

Lol that funny because now you have a mustang and it giving you problems

[@Takingrandom]

This guy smh That black mustang being towed and he’s using as a “10 speed issue” was a manual GT🤦🏻‍♂️

[@projectsinister27]

Yes all models have issues . But look at who out sales Chevy and dodge together. But if u drive the dog snot out of them they will go bad . Any car cant handle hard abuse .

[@Anthony-dk7de]

The Lexus RC F can.

[@MormonMustang_]

I love Mustangs and am the original owner of my 12'GT auto bolt on mid 11 second car. Was looking to get an 18 or 19 but Ford is totally fucking us. I wont think about getting a new one until these problems are addressed by Ford and I dont see it happening any time soon. The MT82 has been a piece of shit since it's inception in 2011 and Ford still is in denial.

[@esdrasjuarbe6214]

But does ford fix the transmission problem for free?

[@ancientruinsofficial]

Yes they come with 3-year 36000 mile warranty

[@hochhaul]

LOL eventually. It might take a few tries though. Some dealers are more willing to work to fix the problem than others.

[@2023_Max]

People, not every car will have the same issues.

[@q-bert6454]

I heard the manual transmission is made in China, not sure about the automatic.

[@judechopper]

and the new gearbox will last 10,000 kms, mustang drivers say no more.

[@FlatBedLife717]

It's unfortnate but I thank all the impatient people who buy the first year new models or refreshes with major changes. You take one for the team to smooth the wrinkles out of the shit that is bad. I'm getting a new 19 from the factory and should be issue free.

[@DragonKnightX12]

BBMustang514 19 still have the problems

Dodge for the win

[@peterm3964]

Chinese transmissions and gearboxes failing . well what do you know ? HERES A TIP FORD . IF YOU WANT A GOOD GEARBOX , MAKE A CALL TO TOYOTA . THEY HAVE BEEN MAKING GREAT GEARBOXES FOR DECADES It isn’t hard .

[@vhc7764]

So, besides the cheap tranny (aluminum shift forks...wtf) and piston slaps, dealerships are still convinced they can gouge customers on the "high-end" Mustangs. Ford may not realize the consequences (poor quality and dealer gouging)...or perhaps they do and could care less. I would imagine more than a few Ford customers are now considering Chevy or other models.

[@ZincStick]

Just sounds like y'all have no idea how to drive and run your cars to the ground..
