My GT350 has a BLOWN ENGINE with only 8,400 miles...

My 2017 Shelby GT350 has a blown engine with only 8,400 miles. I had just finished a ton of prep on my GT350 to prepare for my first big day out at the track. After completing the final step, on my way home with my buddy Scott the engine decided to let go from what I'm hearing is likely a spun bearing. This is becoming a more apparent/common issue with this cars and I would be scared to own one of these cars out of warranty.

[@JeffAshton]

Well, it happened... Most likely a spun rod bearing. Who wants to play a game of knock knock? Ford better step up!

[@selfmade411]

@@MailHandlerInThe505 I zero mods on my GT350, was a daily, I had 16K miles on it, thought I was in the clear. Then it started drinking oil, I did the consumption tests. It was eating just under what was considered 'normal' so they wouldn't do anything. Which only got worse. Finally I met the consumption numbers that were considered for replacement, I want to say 1 qt. every 400 miles. I then went through the fiasco with Ford trying to get a replacement, the ford dealership took forever and trashed my car (scratched the shit out of the engine bay) left things unplugged, only to have the replacement fail.

@@Ninja9981000 It was phenomenal. Ive passed through it before but this was the first time I dedicated a weekend to the area and man it was worth it.

I have a 2015 and never had an issue but my buddy in his 2018 pp2 did have oil pressure issues on the last day of the trip. The dragon was a lot of fun but if you plan on going I really recommend doing some of the faster roads like the cherohala skyway, NC-28 and the foothills. Those roads with their higher speed corners is where you'll really see the GT shine.

A funny chevy guy what a surprise there are tons and tons and tons of VERY reliable fords out there...every vehicle has problems from every manufacturer even your precious gm so stop making jokes about other people's problems before karma comes out and bites you right in your ass.

I used to love mustangs, my first mustang was a 96 cobra, first year they had the 4.6 I believe, then I had an 08, and a 15, after the 15 I'll never buy another one, there's no reason why these coyote and voodoo engines should be using oil brand new, it's documented all over KZbin,

[@ricardovaldez4658]

Dang I wanted when I get a chance upgrade from my 5.0 to a used gt350 I guess I’ll look more into the 2019 and up

[@JeffAshton]

Better Than you warranty is the most important thing. With used you have to be sure nobody has done anything to the engine or any type of tuning.

[@bluecollardaily2676]

Yeap and my small dealer has done mine and 2 gt350s

[@darrin2053]

Upgrading your 5.0 with a supercharger and suspension kit makes a world of difference. Still not a GT350 but 700+ horsepower and suspension work makes it a TOTALLY different car

[@leoxia3458]

discarding ur dangerous thought for 19 and up gt350, the engine design is exactly the same. blown engine is just a matter of time. why Ford build the Gt500 based on coyote other than voodoo! it’s obvious

[@hmackprotection1]

[@MustangsTrainsMowers]

Could the thinner oil Ford specifies for the newer engines be a culprit? My 2011 2.3 Ranger uses 5-20 oil all through the year.

[@jorgealejandres612]

Your correct on the bearing I had this happend to me on my Hyundai 2.4 sounds exactly the same knock knock lol

[@MaxSpeedMike]

This is insane! I reviewed a gt350 last year, that had 36k miles on it. It was a 2016. 2 years old and had 36k miles in it, turo miles too, so you know they were hard miles. Car drove and handled really well. 0 issues for hours of hard driving. Not sure why this happened to yours, but maybe it's a one off kinda thing. Good luck, try the M2 at Sebring :)

[@JeffAshton]

MaxSpeed not one off unfortunately, tons of guys with the same issue. 🥺

[@lmjames33]

Exactly!!!! You can't believe all of these vids man. You don't know how people took care of the car. Most issues are owner error not car. I know 3 people with over 40k miles on their gt350's with no issues.

[@MaxSpeedMike]

@@lmjames33 i've since reviewed another gt350 with almost 12k miles on it, lots of those are hard miles, some at the track, everytime he changes his oil his filter is still at the right torque specs. So idk. Sometimes you just gotta buy the car you want and do the best you can while enjoying it

[@Sawashi32]

jimbojims “American cars are crap” Ever heard of Range Rover, Mini, Jaguar, Fiat, Volkswagen, Mercedes, BMW, Maserati etc....... Any one of those poorly made Euro peon car brands make American cars seem indestructible by comparison and at almost double the price on average and rapidly sinking depreciation rates horrific enough to cause their owners permanent brain damage from the shock. And none of the big Japanese car brands are immune from major mechanical defects either by any stretch of the imagination.

[@user-qx9mx4ih6g]

I had this happened last summer. 2018 Shelby GT350 even the color is exactly the same LOL. Cylinder one intake valve falls into the cylinder bore. It took Ford 3 months to fix that. They replaced a new engine for me; everything goes pretty well since then.

It’s ridiculous that a car with that price tag on it has any major issues , especially with only 8400 miles on it. Your right Jeff Ford better step up and take care of your issue because this is their design flaw. Good luck

see Tunnel Chaser on You Tube. happened to him and they stepped up.

[@coreychriswell6218]

I hate this for you man as I’m a true car enthusiast. I had the hardest time deciding between the ZLE and the GT350. Not that the ZLE is perfect but I was scared to death of the motor going in the 350’s, ended up going ZLE. Hope it’s back together soon with no one yanking your chain.

Just happened to my friend I track with a few weeks ago. Less than 5k miles. Luckily he hasn’t modified his in any way. He still waiting to hear what the dealership is going to do

Daily S197 tell him call the manufacturer I.T worked when I blew the engine in mine !!!

Foreigns 2 talked with him today. He has it scheduled to be hauled to the dealer he purchased from later this week. He was told once they get the car it will be looked at to determine the extent of damage and they’ll take it from there. It sounds identical to Jeff’s.

I purchased my first new car in 2018 when everyone was saying great things about the 2018 GT. Shortly after all the buzz was about the engine tick. Now my car has it and i was thinking about trading for a gt350 until I saw this video. Im so disappointed in Ford.

[@adolfoarias]

Tracy Ford engine tick wont break your car Its just an annoying sound that shouldnt be there. As for the 350, that sucks for an actual performance vehicle that also shouldnt happen when its designed to take a beating

[@fordtracy74]

@@adolfoarias I partially agree however regardless of vehicle price a new car should not have wide spread motor issues. A new gt is about 35000. Mine also has a roush supercharger dealer installed. Thats alot of money for a motor that ticks. Fords reliability is definitely in question and needs to step it up. I won't be surprised if the new gt500 has motor issues, give it a year.

[@adolfoarias]

Tracy Ford i have a 2019 whipple supercharged dealer ordered from LFP. And i hear the tick every now and then. Its not always which is weird. I ignore it now though. my car is ridiculously loud so most of the time i wont hear it when it comes back. Im sure the gt500 will have issues but dont all cars do? But the way i see it, this is what happens when you refresh a car every few years. Yet i would still get a 350 or 500 without question

[@ggoebel6203]

Jeff, Sorry about your car 🚙 Nice to see your staying positive, Probably a better man than I , but I’m sure it will work itself out eventually. P.S.Nice to see Scott again. 🚗🚕🚙. ......Sadly no mustang emoji
