Description of the problem | Car is experiencing a vibration problem at 65 to 75 mph, in 6 gear, and engine is at 1750 rpm. Vibration is duplicated again, in 5th gear, and engine is at 2500 rpm. Also, with car in the stop position, car in neutral, with clutch in or out, slowly revving the engine vibration occurs at 1500 to 1750 rpms. Also if you quickly rev the engine to 2500 rpm and drop revs slowly vibration reoccurs at 1750 to 1500 rpm. This problem has been present with initial purchase of vehicle, dealership said it was tires and drive it for awhile. The car has since been in the dealership 5 times, replaced all 4 tires, force road balanced 3 times, and has been to second ford dealership for confirming vibration problem. Second dealership also had another new mustang experiencing same vibration and could not be fixed. Ford motor company has declared the vibration problem is within specs for mustangs and has declared it "normal operating characteristics" for mustangs. At this point my case with ford has been closed. If this vibration problem is occurring in 40 percent of mustangs as a prior complaint has stated then ford motors need to address it and not ignore it. |
